Portsmouth has flights out of the regional airport for as low as $60. Yes, you read that right. Time to pack the bags and head to Nashville, TN!

When it comes to air travel, convenience, affordability, and stress-free experiences are at the top of every traveler's wish list. While major airports often dominate the headlines, there are smaller airports that offer unique advantages. Pease International Airport, nestled in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, is a hidden gem and here's why:

Convenient Location

One of the standout features of Pease International Airport is its strategic location. Situated just a stone's throw away from downtown Portsmouth, this airport allows travelers to skip the hassle of driving into Boston or dealing with the congestion of larger airports in the region. By flying out of Pease, you can save valuable time and enjoy a stress-free journey from the moment you arrive at the airport.

Can you imagine walking down the streets of Portsmouth a few hours before your flight takes off? And then taking a quick Uber to Pease Airport for your flight to Nashville? Talk about a pregame!

Parking Made Easy

It's almost too good to be true, but parking at Pease is only $7/day. Why wouldn't you park here?

Parking fees can often be a headache at larger airports. Boston's Logan Airport is $82/day. That's ridiculous!  However, Pease International Airport offers an excellent solution to this expensive problem. Pease has you covered with its convenient and budget-friendly long-term parking lot. It's only $7/day. You literally can't beat that! Also, traveler's tip: park down the street at the C&J Bus lot. It's free and then you can have a friend drop you off at the airport.

I Went To Nashville For The First Time and Here’s What I Did

Between working at Country 102.5 for about 18 months and being around country music for the duration of my time on this planet, people were shocked when I told them that I have never been to Nashville. However, an impromptu trip to Music City this week changed that. A few of my friends attend Belmont University in the heart of the city, so when I found out that one of them needed to come home and drive their new car back down to Tennessee, I jumped on the opportunity.

Since I had never been to Nashville, and only had a few days to take in as much as I could, I was excited and eager to check it out! If you're like me and never been to Nashville, or maybe you're looking to plan your next trip, hopefully this breakdown of my excursion to Music City will help you out!

1) The Drive Down

The second my show ended last Sunday, I started headed to Nashville. You are going to think I'm crazy, but I tend to prefer driving to flying because you get to see first-hand what's outside of our New England bubble. But... we did it at night - a bad thing if you're wanting to see something that not in your headlights, but a good thing if you want to beat the traffic in the major cities. It took just over 15 hours, and it was very manageable with two drivers (and espresso shots).

2) The First Drive Through The City

After catching up on some much needed sleep, we headed down Music Row and Broadway. It was my first time going through the city, and I was truly amazed.

3) Hot Chicken Sandwiches

Of course on day one we had to partake in some Nashville Hot Chicken. We went to a place called Hattie B's, and it was awesome!

4) Love Circle

It's one of the highest points in the city, and it gives an outstanding view of the city skyline.

5) A Walk Through The City

On our second day there, we set out on an adventure through the city on foot to see everything on my list.

6) What's Outside the City?

About 45 minutes outside of Nashville, you'll find the Natchez Trace Parkway. It's a 444 mile long road that cuts right through parts of Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi.

And That's The Trip

We only had about two full days in Nashville, so I am very excited for a time when I can spend much longer there. There are plenty of sights that we just didn't have time to go check out, but that's a good excuse for going back!
