Carolina on my mind update: I managed to find some time in the midst of all the packing to spend an evening out with my gal pals last night. We try to get together on a monthly basis to check out a local restaurant and catch up on each other’s lives. Up this month: Flying Mango in Beaverdale.

One would think that after growing up in this ‘hood I would’ve been a frequent diner here, but that was not the case. As a first-timer, I was amazed at how darn tasty the food was, and am already planning my return trip.

I have an unhealthy obsession for pulled pork.

Wheels up at 0700 tomorrow which means I am in need of a no-fuss ‘fit for our flight since the alarm is set for 0400. (Darn body scanners.) Here is a great way to look effortless while flying.

See you all in about a week!
