It was the ultimate challenge. . . who would settle in the sunshine first? 

Would it be Donna and her cats or Tara and her husband Ron? 

Eight years later, the ultimate challenge is but a moving memory (although Donna will never forget that she made it to San Diego six months to the day before Tara and Ron showed up in Las Vegas!). These best buds share more than memories of their hometown, Erie, Pa. – they’ve shared a passion for writing and reliving the trials and triumphs of their cross-country moves – so yours can be just as smooth.  

With only a five-hour drive on the I-15 separating them now, Tara Maras and Donna Kozik bring you an insightful life manual.
