"Whatever you are, be a good one." – Abraham Lincoln _ We're publishing a massive 4500-word article on travelwithbender.com this week about our epic 2-week road trip in Florida.

It will be your ultimate guide to the Sunshine State. _ Did you know: in this city locally known as "Jax", many influential music icons emerged? "The Blues" music genre was officially performed here first in 1910. Nu Metal band Limp Bizkit formed here in 1994, as did Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1966, just to name a few. _ But my favorite stop? @sweetpetescandy - you have to go there for a candy making class with Sweet Peet himself. 🍭 @visit_jax

"One can not reflect in streaming water. Only those who know internal peace can give it to others." - Lao Tzu _ Austin city skyline reflection at night. _ This city in Texas is one of my favourite in the United States. Perhaps it's the hip, laid back culture. Perhaps it's the quirkiness. Have you been before? _ Did you know: the river that disects the city is called the Colorado River. But it's not to be confused with the famous Colorado River that runs through the Grand Canyon. That's a different river. And the central portion (seen in this photo) of Austin's river is called "Town Lake"... Even though it's not a lake. It's a river. No wonder the city slogan is" Keep Austin weird" 😃 _ #texastodo @visitaustintx

Reflecting on 2016. _ I'm in the process of putting together my favourite travel photos from the last 12 months and this shot of Basilica Cistern in Istanbul, Turkey came up. The mirror reflection is also poignant for this time of the year, as we look back at our accomplishments and failures of 2016 and chart a course for the year ahead. _ One of my favorite travel gadgets of 2016 was my @tepwireless Internet hotspot. I used it in Turkey (as well as many other places) and it provided not just a connection with the outside world and essential online tools, but also peace of mind. _ #topphoto #turkey
