Should I fly to America for a gig?

So my favourite singer ever is playing a series of gigs in Utah in October. It’s over the weekend my kids are with their dad. Is it mental to fly there Thursday see the gigs Saturday and Sunday and fly back Monday? Get the kids back Tuesday? I can afford it - I’d be going alone. I’m scared . Would anyone else/ has anyone else done something like this?

Life is short do it. My DD booked a trip to NYC to see a particular actor on Broadway, highlight of her trip.

Definitely go. I think adventures are so so important. How many times lately have you put yourself first and done something just for you? Thought not.

Have a brilliant time. You deserve it.

Go for it! I did a spur of the moment 4 day trip to Miami once to see a band… it was mad but brilliant! Life is short… do it and enjoy yourself!!!

Yeah, posting on Mumsnet is pretty much equal to taking an intercontinental flight!!

It's not the same. But the planes going away. I hope OP has a lovely time.

It's irresponsible. Think.of the environment.

Isn't he the one who repeatedly forcefully kissed Cameron Diaz at the MTV Awards?

I wouldn't give him my money.
