Backstage Pass to Tennessee - Day 9: Home Time!
Day 9 Its finally home time! United Airlines gave me an airport voucher so I got breakfast at Starbucks, before boarding my flight to Montreal. One I was on board, one of the pilots gave me a cute little United Wings pin. The flight took off right on schedule and I made it onto my flight back to Winnipeg with no issues. I can't wait for my next trip!

Backstage Pass to Tennessee - Day 8: Home Time?
Day 8 Today, We drove back to Newark, NJ, so I can fly back home. Aly brought me to the airport and it was so difficult saying goodbye. (I might have cried a bit.) Once I was through security, I boarded the plane. The original plan was to fly from Newark, NJ, to Washington, DC, then Toronto, ON, before finally returning to Winnipeg, MB. However, due to weather, my flight to Washington was delayed by a few hours so I ended up missing my connecting flight to Toronto. Once I

Backstage Pass to Tennessee - Day 7: Driving Back to Pennsylvania
Day 7 Today, Aly and I drove back to Pennsylvania... or well, Aly drove because I may have crashed her car a few days ago. Whoops! Anyways! Aly drove us back to Pennsylvania, while I slept. She decided she wanted to get a head-start on driving so we left in the middle of the night. I don't remember much other than that I got out to stretch somewhere in Virginia. Once we were back in Pennsylvania, Aly brought me to the Milkhouse Creamery in Berwick, PA. Then, we went back

Backstage Pass to Tennessee - Day 6: Dollywood!
Day 6 Today, we got up and went over to Dollywood in Pigeon Forge first thing in the morning. We didn't go on many rides while we were there, but it was so much fun exploring the park. I even got to meet the Chicken Lady, Miss Lillian! We had such a great time at Dollywood! After we were done at the amusement park, we went to the Black Rifle Coffee Co. and I got an iced matcha latte. Then we went to Chickfila for dinner. Overall it was a fantastic day; I'm sad we have to s

Day 5 Today, we got up early to drive to Franklin, TN for breakfast. We went to Biscuit Love for breakfast and then The Fainting Goat Coffee Co. Then, we drove back to the Nashville airport to drop off Angel and Jorge. I was sad seeing them go, but I'll get to see Angel again next month in Texas, so I'm looking forward to that.

Backstage Pass to Tennessee - Day 4: Exploring Nashville
Day 4 Today, we got up and headed out to The Bookshop, for one of my favourite parts of travelling: book shopping. I found a super cool copy of Alice In Wonderland by Lewis Carol, the Mina Lima illustrated edition. Once we finished up at The Bookshop, we headed into the city for some sight-seeing and photo stops, before returning to the Broadway area. We walked around listening to music for a while before going for dinner. We went to Miranda Lambert's Casa Rosa, and it was

I bought some really cute leather boots from Tecovas, and I'm obsessed with them. then, we went back to the Airbnb to eat dinner and get ready for the concert.

Backstage Pass to Tennessee - Day 2: Cincinnati, OH -> Nashville, TN
Day 2 Aly and I switched spots and I started driving around Cincinnati, OH just after midnight. I drove us through the night from Ohio through Lexington, KY, and into Nashville, TN. Once we got into the city, Aly and I went to the airport to pick up Angel and Jorge. I drove to the airport because Aly and I were planning on surprising Angel. They both invited me on the trip but I originally couldn't make it. Once I found out I could, I told Aly but we decided to keep it from

Backstage Pass to Tennessee - Day 1: Winnipeg, MB -> Newark, NJ -> Cincinnati, OH
Day 1 Today, I flew from Winnipeg to Newark, NJ to meet my best friend Aly. Her and her mom drove from Pennsylvania to pick me up from the airport. I took an Uber from the airport to a nearby Target to make it easier to find each other. When Aly got there she jumped out of the car and we ran to each other, colliding into a hug. Once we got over the initial shock of actually meeting in person (after years of online friendship), we went into the store to grab coffee, before
