I leave tomorrow (Feb 1st) on my month long vacation with Josh to the USA! I'm so excited and it's come around so so fast. I probably (unfortunately) won't be as active on here during February, (I'll be too busy having the time of my life!) But I will definitely (hopefully) be able to spare some time for a few posts.
I thought I would start off by doing a post on all the places that we will be travelling to and staying during the month, check them out! Also I would love any tips from locals or past travellers on places to visit/dine & shop!
 |
| The Hotel Hollywood |
 |
| Location |
Probably the least pretty accommodation that we have booked but the most affordable. We picked The Hotel Hollywood for it's prime position and easy access. As well as it's incredibly welcoming price. We will only be here 3 nights, the least out of every place that we go to. Our dream may have been to stay in the Ace Hotel, but our bank accounts wouldn't exactly suffice. We'd rather save that extra money for activities anyway!

| Juniper Springs Resort |
 |
| Location |
Probably our most expensive accommodation and arguably the prettiest, located far East of Los Angeles lies Mammoth Lakes, and this beautiful resort. I am super super excited about this place, mostly because I haven't been skiing in years and I love to ski, but also because this place looks amazing. We have a studio apartment with gas fireplace on the snow, and I just can't wait!

| Cole Valley Apartment |
 |
| Location |
I have never used AirBnb Before but off many positive reviews from friends we decided to give it a go. Well we decided to give it a go three times actually! San Francisco is our first of 3 AirBnb locations. I absolutely love the look of the place and cannot wait to visit!
 |
| Modern Basement Studio |
 |
| Location |
From what I can tell on that map screenshot, we will be staying right in the centre of everything in Portland which is fantastic. I'm still not very knowledgeable on Portland, though I'm very keen to explore it! I'll be here on Valentines Day too. :)
 |
| Lower East Side Studio |
 |
| Location |
New York City. The final stop in our awesome adventure. We're staying in the Lower East Side. This was a tough one as there were so many great areas and apartments to choose from but hopefully we made the right decision. This studio is a tad more vintage than some of the others but certainly has a whole lot of charm.
If you haven't noticed by my excessive use of exclamation marks, and how many times I have literally stated it, I AM SO EXCITED! 12 hours til I board my plane and set off for America!
Woo hoo!
Cya Australia! xx

what an awesome trip! I'm an LA native and it's even one of my dreams to merely hang out at/stay at the Ace Hotel...but budgeting is so important. I think it's a GREAT decision to visit mammoth-mammoth mountain is one of my favorite resorts of all time, and i find the terrain to be world-class...I hope you enjoy it. I've never stayed at Juniper Springs because my family usually does condos with friends, but another + of that hotel is it's at Eagle Lodge, which is the most low-key and in my opinion the best starting point on the mountain. I hope you enjoy your trip to America, and I hope Mammoth gets a decent amount of snow when you're there! Depending on your level of skiing, I recommend the top of the mountain, especially Cornice (one of the most famous runs), and if weather permits, Dave's Run. I also recommend a burger joint there called Burger's (it's great!), there's a fun old-school (but not necessarily retro) breakfast place called The Stove, and if you're road-tripping from LA I could even give you stops along the way. Hope you have a great trip

WOW you are staying at some amazing places! Going the AirBNB route is definitely the way to go. I was just in California and stayed in one on Venice Beach - it was fantastic! I hope you have a great time!
