Whether our favorite tweeters are giving us drunken live updates from their planes, or just making us super jealous from their private island vacations in the Caribbean, we can't get enough of their 140 character e-postcards. And 2012 saw its share of great travel tweets from all types of tweeters.

1. Jenny Johnson on every flyers worst nightmare

Comedy writer Jenny Johnson always knows how to make us laugh with her sharp observational humor and sarcastic wit, so we love when she takes a crack at her fellow passengers. In this case, it's that guy we all know who just doesn't know when to check his over-sized carry-on (although we can't blame him for trying).

2.Doing Doughnuts on Mars


We all get a little homesick on the road (or in the sky), and the Mars Rover is no exception.

3. John Stamos does Disney


True story! RT @rachdawa: Last night at Disneyland @johnstamos photo bombed our group picture! instagr.am/p/TgnvFprdjC/ -- John Stamos (@JohnStamos) December 21, 2012

We admit we're pretty jealous of @rachdawa. As if the Magic Kingdom couldn't get any better, John Stamos happens to walk by and make an appearance in the family Christmas card. Uncle Jesse, you can photobomb us any day.

4. Aziz Ansari ponders the great airline debate

On a recent flight, funnyman Aziz Ansari discussed the trials and tribulations of the great "Window Seat vs. Aisle Seat" debate, even taking a stab at other supposed celeb preferences. We admit we like his solution of not having to choose, but in the meantime, we'll take #WindowSeat.

5. Fake TSA account speaks the truth

Our favorite fake government agent gives us daily reminders of the hassles of flying, and, best of all, makes us laugh while doing it.

6. Lindsay Lohan has a fabulous life

Oh, Lindsay.

7. Neil Patrick Harris picking up on the culture

We all like to steal little pieces of the culture on our travels -- especially from the French!

8. Carrie Brownstein gives us the quote of the day

The "Portlandia" actress and musician doesn't seem to understand just how exceptional A Dixie cup full of Diet Coke can be when paired with mini-pretzels -- but she'll soon find out.

9. Someecards makes us appreciate family


The hilarious e-card company knows just how hectic traveling during the holidays can be -- so hectic, in fact, that it makes us appreciate those weirdos we call family like never before.

10. Patton Oswalt's trendy accommodations

On his recent trip to the Pacific Northwest capital of flannel, comedian Patton Oswalt shared the town's newest lodging trend.
