I am so excited about Episode #12 of The Erica James Travel Show, as I reveal 19 tips I learned from watching Seinfeld. So let's have some fun going over the 19 best travel tips that I learned from watching my FAVORITE show of all time, Seinfeld. Tip 1: Trips are relationship killers! Be careful how soon you travel with someone who you are dating. It could change the dynamics of your relationship. It can be good or bad. Jerry’s girlfriend didn’t like the resort.
