The duo spared no expense, opting for Emirates' Gold and Silver class plans for their journey. However, their travel day nearly turned into a disaster when @kiingkayyy misplaced her passport just two hours before her flight.

"My dad, being the best, made sure I was sorted and got me to the airport on time. I raced through bag check and security," she shared, praising her father for saving the day.

After a long flight, the pair arrived in Dubai, where they caught a connecting flight to Nice, France. Upon arrival, they checked into a chic hotel that featured a cosy balcony overlooking the picturesque streets.

"We were obsessed with the little balcony," @kiingkayyy gushed.

Their first evening was filled with simple pleasures. Although most stores were closed, they enjoyed dinner at Le Grand Café de France, grabbed some pizza, and strolled through the warm, scenic streets of Nice.

The next day, the besties hopped on a quick train to Monaco, which she described as "super quick and easy." There, they admired the stunning yachts floating on the ocean, indulged in luxury shopping, and even had an exciting celebrity encounter with American actress Kelly Rutherford, best known for her role in Gossip Girl.
