Smokey Mountain Girl's Trip

It all started with a long airport escapade. Coming from Long Island, we thought it would be convenient to just hop on a few trains over to Newark. Well, that wasn’t as smooth and easy as we thought. Needless to say, we made it there. The thunderstorms that rolled in shortly after was where the fun started. After numerous delays we were dragging our feet to our plane, praying that we would still be able to land in the Asheville Airport. I never thought to take into consideration what would happen when a plane has to land at a closed airport. Lucky for us, we didn’t have to find that out. We may have taken a bus to our tiny little plane in the middle of the runway but we arrived in Asheville Airport with a few minutes to spare! Despite it closing super early, it was the coziest little airport. I immediately felt like I was on a mountain vacation.

3 Day Guide to Southern California

Are you looking to escape the cold and live the dream? Cali is calling. Read about my adventure to the Gold Coast. My California adventure began in the Santa Ana Airport which was small and adorable and the best part for me, not confusing. I am not the best solo traveler so this made things a bit easier. Then it was off to a California expert: Nicole's glam apartment in Rancho Santa Margarita. If you haven’t been to this cute little town, it is a must. The view of the mountains is absolutely breathtaking and you are minutes away from the beach, I mean what’s not to love? Nicole was the best host, as she stocked her apartment with all my favorite goodies. Now that’s what best friends are for.
