In this special IN PERSON episode of Ther-a-friends, Kristen and Nikki explore the pros and cons of taking trips with friends while on a trip with each other to the hot air balloon fiesta in Albuquerque, New Mexico!  They identify things they have learned on this current trip about traveling well with friends as well as discuss what they’ve learned from past successful and not-so-successful trips!  In Friend Facts, Nikki shares a research study about the impact of sharing experiences, Kristen and Nikki weigh in on staying connected across distance and life circumstances in Friend Q&A, and Kristen turns to an unlikely source (at least for Nikki!) for Friendspiration!
