Back at the beginning of October my friends and I actually planned a trip together, which is very unheard of for us. We usually come up with the idea and then well, it just never happens - especially with the lads. However, this time was different.
Over the past few months, we bought the concert tickets (not the city we originally wanted but that didn't matter), booked a hotel, figured out transport, hired a car, I booked a train ticket home. On Tuesday, Ben drove us to Manchester whilst we listened to every Post Malone song possible in that 2-hour journey, we checked into our hotel (thankfully I didn't have to share a room with anyone), we got ready, had a meal, had some drinks and went to the concert. Afterwards, it consisted of us still singing Post Malone songs, drunk, and heading towards Bierkeller (which ended up being shut because well it was a Tuesday night). Instead, we sat in good old Whetherspoons for a while before getting a uber back to the wrong hotel (thanks Ben).

TUESDAY
Finally arrived after about 2 hours of driving, including a pit stop at KFC and gregs.
We checked into the hotel and I thankfully had my own room, which meant I could take up loads of space in the bathroom with my favourite thing - my toiletry bag. (let's ignore the beer, which I did actually like????)
quick 'photoshoot' before dinner
It took us a while to find somewhere to eat as we didn't plan it very well, but we did find somewhere eventually. A good old Chinese restaurant.
WEDNESDAY
We got caught in the rain on Wednesday but we still did a bit of shopping after Breakfast, before heading home. And home in Derby rather than back to University, as it was half term for my mum and brother so I spent the rest of the day with them which was lovely. It worked out perfectly too as I don't have uni till 12pm on a Thursday so I got a train in the morning on Thursday, I also have Tuesday & Wednesday off so thankfully I didn't miss any uni for this trip.
Thank you so much for reading! I had the loveliest trip with my best friends, and we are definitely going to plan another trip like this when Post Malone comes back to the UK or just for another band/person. We are considering seeing the 2nd support act as he was great, had his music on for the journey home.
