Yes!! Normally it takes around 18 hours of travel time but this time it took us almost 24 ush: It was well worth it in the end though, it's been such a great trip.
We met through tPF and we were meeting up for the first time. I don't know how personal I should get, lol, but it really felt like we've known each other forever. She is just amazing (and the best shopping buddy ever )
