At the beginning of April, I had the unexpected chance to visit my 42nd state – and I took it. 😀

In the above travel vlog video, follow me as I explore Carolina Beach and historic Wilmington, North Carolina for a full day!

After enduring many flight cancellations that prevented me from getting home to Chicago (from Atlanta) while flying standby, I decided to make the most of my stranded-in-the-South situation and instead hop on a short flight to Wilmington, NC that had an empty seat. There, I could wait out the over-sold planes to Chicago at the beach!

I had never been to NC before, and I was in for such a pleasant surprise! I loved the extremely kind people that I met, as well as the charming and historic downtown and River Walk in Wilmington.

Plus, since I had chosen to stay in nearby Carolina Beach, I was able to go for a walk in the sand, lounge by a pool, and eat some delicious seafood! What a life, I must admit!

Hoping that I can go back to this paradise soon – with Derek next time, hopefully!

Enjoy the video! Cheers, and happy travels!
