Dreem's Dreemy Vacation starts at the LAX Airpot. Dreem waits nervously for three of her closest friends to fly in from all over the world. She is so excited and worried that she gets to the airport two hours early. She finds herself wandering the halls looking in the shops between checking the International flight board to see if they were still on time.

Dreem checked her watch. She still has one hour and forty-nine minutes left to wait for her first friend to land. Two overpriced airport coffees, four trips to the restroom, and seven Discord calls later, she stands in front of the gate where her friends will be arriving.

An airport worker walked up to Dreem and asked if he should call her a doctor. Being distracted, craning her neck trying to look past the gate, she didn't realize she kept jumping up and down, giggling, and smiling so wide her teeth were blinding people. It finally registers in her brain what the young airport worker had asked. She turns to him and tells him how and why she was at the airport. All the while keeping her gaze on the gate.

Midstory, Dreem starts to scream and, if possible, jump even higher while waving her arms. People crowded around her open a space because they were unsure what was going on until they heard three other screams of joy coming from behind the gate. All watched as the four friends collided in a group hug filled with laughter and tears.

Dreem soon realizes her three friends who just walked off the plane are exhausted. She was also exhausted from getting the stunning Cozy Valley House stocked with food for the next two days.

Making sure everyone had all their belongings, Dreem took the lead back to the parking garage to find their rental Elite SUV. All the luggage fit in the back of the vehicle leaving the four seats open and roomy for the drive to the Airbnb.

Once there, Dreem lets everyone know what rooms they will be staying in. She tells them to unpack and get into some comfy clothes because they will all be spending the first night at the beautiful AirBnB. After a long flight crammed into a tiny airplane seat, everyone had time to shower, change, and relax.

With everyone refreshed and relaxed, the four friends end up on the back patio breathing the fresh air. The conversation flows easily from one to another as a few glasses of wine are drank.

Soon the doorbell rings and a stunning Charcuterie Board by @THECUREDFV on Instagram is set up on the dining room table. Everyone laughs as you can hear tummies growling. The rest of the night is spent laughing and talking as friends do until, one by one, each of them slowly goes off to their room.

At dinner, it had been decided the first day in California would be an easy day for everyone. Breakfast was whenever you woke up. The plans for the day were to go to the beach. Spend the day there sightseeing and shopping at the small stores lining the shore. Lunch would be at a small Cafe' when everyone became hungry. The four talked and laughed while having a very relaxing day taking in all the sights, sounds, and people.

On the way home to the Airbnb, a stop was had at the grocery store to make dinner. I will not spoil the surprise at what was made that night, but I will tell you it was delicious! Once again, the four friends fell into easy conversation, and a relaxing night was had, telling stories and getting excited for the next day.

Everyone set their phone alarms so they would be up and ready to leave the house at eight in the morning. A driver was dropping them off at Disneyland!

Twelve hours later, the four friends were all holding hands as they walked out of the most iconic park in the world. They were exhausted but happy. Dreem was very happy. She thought ahead and hired someone to take them and pick them up from the park.

She didn't have to worry about traffic and people after a long happy day. Everyone held each other up until they all collapsed into the car, which was waiting at the gate to drive them safely back to the Airbnb.

That night the friends walked into the house and straight to bed. Not a peep was heard until the following day when the first person woke, started a pot of coffee so everyone would be wide awake for the road trip up into the mountains to see Dreem's home.

It was a long drive, but with four close friends and stops along the way, the trip up into the mountains went by quickly enough. Many photos were taken along the way. Late afternoon finally came as Dreem pulled into the parking lot of a cabin in the woods. Everyone piled out of the SUV and wandered inside. Dreem gave each one their own room and told everyone to settle in because a surprise was on its way.

An hour later, Dreem's husband walked in with his hands full of food. Dinner was served! Another relaxing night was had after a long day of driving. Just as the first friend started to yawn, Dreem grabbed her husband's hand and told her friends that she was going back to her house to sleep, but she would be back in the morning.

Morning came along with the sun shining through the trees. Dreem walked in carrying breakfast for everyone. While sitting around the table, they all talked about the plans for the next three days. It was decided that everyone just wanted to spend time together.

They didn't want to waste time driving here and there. A shopping list was made and a menu to follow too. A few short side trips to Dreem's favorite places around her home were added to the itinerary.

There was plenty of time for long walks and talks. Plus, everyone still had some time to themselves.

The last evening was spent sitting around a campfire, talking and telling stories. The group knew something special had just happened to them. They really did not want it to end. They all knew they had to get up early to drive back to the LAX Airport to catch their flights home. It was a fantastic night spent under the stars for the four friends.

Lucky for Dreem, her husband had the next day off of work. He would be driving down with Dreem so she would not be all alone after her friends boarded their planes.

It was a beautiful week for Dreem. Filled with everything she loves. Family, friends, and laughter at a pace that let everyone get to know each other better.

The End.
