I’m home now so get ready for the good stuff from my trip to the POM pomegranate orchards.  While I was there I had to keep pinching myself to make sure I wasn’t in a dream…..after a few bruises I snapped out of it and so I decided I wanted to cover this event the best I could by trying to bring you along with me. How am I going to do this? Well, with a ton of photos, videos and a lot of blog posts on the way.

Also, I will point you in the direction of a few other bloggers that POM invited on this tour. Ever blogger that was invited  by POM and I met all of them. After a few conversations with these other bloggers I started to question why the hell I was there because these other bloggers were amazing! Their blogs, stories, writing, photos, and everything was top notch. I learned a lot from them and you’ll be seeing a few changes around here because of that. So thank them :) I will be highlighting each blogger in separate posts over the next few weeks so be patient and get ready for some kick ass blog action!

Sir, your plane has arrived. Why thank you…I’m on my way in.

I told you there would be videos so here are a few more.

My flyover of the 18,000 acres of Pom Pomegranate Orchards:

Crazy, right?!?!??! Pomegranate trees as far as the eyes can see! I snapped a few pictures after that:

After two flights in the two planes it was time to come back to reality. Absolutely beautiful POM planes. I don’t know a thing about planes but I know that these were phenominal!

That’s the first time I have ever been on a private plane before. I felt like I was in a rap video or part of a really exclusive club…….. P.P.B.C. or Pom Platinum Blogger Club….yeah, just made that up.  Once we touched down we went to the orchards. You’ve seen them all from above, now lets from them on the ground. Off to the orchards!!!!

    It is crazy. I have never seen so many pomegranate trees in my entire life. 18,000 acres? That’s a lot of work. Awesome! OK, I take pomegranite with vodka, please. If I find one of those POM’s here in PR, I am going to make Sangria. :)

    Those pomegranate orchards look amazing from the sky! From reading your blog, as well as other on the tour, it looks like you all had a great time. I’m so jealous :)
