For those who don't know, Twitter is a way to send short messages (140 characters or less) via text or the web to whoever is "following" you. Although I have yet to send a "tweet" from my recently created Twitter account and I know hardly anything about the Twittersphere, I'm going to pretend that I twittered away on the 6th day of my vacation.
Enjoy!
