Just when I had Mark just where I wanted him....... Totally agreeable to my plans and even putting a few requests of his own! QANTAS decided to play freaking funny buggers!!!! I reckon Mark has something to do with this...... Somehow THATS why he was so agreeable!!!!!
Okey dokey
Now to plan B!
This is just a mere hiccup!

I'm not stupid!!!!
Getting Mark nice and relaxed so I can present my plan and itinerary along with all the prices and any questions he might have is actually not that hard....
I have organized a trip down the beach for the weekend. Take the littlies and leave the big ones at home. Left a clean house dumped some money on the bench and said 'see ya Sunday night!' I've booked his favorite Chinese restaurant for tonight took him out for brekkie this morning with the boys. Got him a cold Corona and cornered him in the van and voila!
He tried but it was useless against all my plans and research and then he started on my heartstrings!! What about Christie? Would you love shopping with her in New York? Yes of course I would..... She'll do alright from my shopping I assured him. He nearly has me......... Nearly! If she wasn't going next year I reckon I would have caved!
But I sucked it up....
All done!
God I'm good......

I'm overloaded with information!!!
Waiting for flight centre to get back to me and I have checked out a lot of flights myself. Qantas are being a little sneaky and offering a non stop to NY but when I went to flight centre to hurry them up....... They told me that the Qantas flight stops in LA! apparently the plane would run out of fuel if it flew all the way!!
Mark is starting to wish he hadn't mentioned anything...... Told him we will have to book AND PAY tomorrow or this week and he visibly went pale and needed to sit down!! Nah only joking! I think he thinks if he doesn't mention it I will just forget......FAT CHANCE!!!

You don't have to tell me twice!
While sipping my lazy Sunday morning coffee......Mark turned and said to me, "You know, we should really go and watch Lachlan play" well that was his first mistake lol!
straight on the computer researching flights, accommodation, things to do......Oh and where are going to watch Lachlan play!
so far the plan is....Leave on the 8th and fly straight to New York! I have goosebumps typing that! I really didn't want to fly to Auckland, LA and then New York I just want to get there! It is really hard to find the right accommodation when you have no idea where anything is in relation to your hotel. I printed off a map of LA and North Carolina and marked off things I thought we would be interested in doing. Looking at the map, Mark and I noticed that Memphis isn't that far away.........We have always wanted to see Elvis country and Graceland has been on our bucket list for years......Well why not I say! might as well!!
so excited I wrote everything down, 3 different scenarios and tried to preempt Mark's questions and any thing he might pooh pooh! He has an awful habit of being the voice of reason.....
the only disappointing thing is Christie, due to work commitments, is probably not going to be able to come :( This actually means we only have to book one room now so $$$$$$ will be saved.Will have to make it up to Christie with MEGA presents!
