East Coast Roadtrip: The Other Portland

In 2020, I (like many others) received flight credits for all of our would be trips. One of those flights was to Asheville on Allegiant. If you know Allegiant, it’s a low cost carrier based out of Las Vegas. I had no idea when I would ever use this credit, but since I ended upContinue reading “East Coast Roadtrip: The Other Portland”

East Coast Roadtrip: Back South to North Carolina

Day 12: Maybe the least logical part of my trip was venturing south of DC to go to North Carolina. A combination of fate and not wanting to visit anything in between DC and NYC, I decided to take the Amtrak down to Raleigh.

East Coast Roadtrip: Savannnahhh nah nah

I waited a bit for my Uber to come pick me up, but luckily, the city is only a 20 minute ride away. You could rent aContinue reading “East Coast Roadtrip: Savannnahhh nah nah”

East Coast Roadtrip: Peace Up, A Town

I’m almost to the end of my trip and I can’t believe Atlanta was the first stop of my trip! It’s been quite the journey, but the most absolute best time. Atlanta — my first stop of the trip! A little hiccup to the beginning on my first real flight in 2021 (I don’t reallyContinue reading “East Coast Roadtrip: Peace Up, A Town”
