New Year, New Destinations: Catch Up + Slow Down in Calif. Central Coast ! #travel

I love to travel. The biggest issue is always finding the time. I have to say that I was so looking forward to getting out of “Dodge”, i.e., leaving LA & traffic behind and just hitting the road to head up the coast for a couple of days.
