Welcome to my first ever Wide Eyed In The USA blog! A trip to the vast land and the "land of the free'. Firstly just a whisper of a thought and a remote possiblity after talking to friend Nev.
Nev was off with two old school friends who USA bound, decided it was a good idea to throw their legs over a 'hog' and ride to New Orleans. Why? Partly because of a wedding Murray was going to in Shreveport, Louisiana and partly because they like jazz & the blues. Fair enough!
One of the crew pulled out! Would I like to take his place? Nev knew the answer before he even asked! Just the funding side of things to be worked out. Would the saving plan mean no early morning coffees with friend Willie, (aka The Coffee Guy)!
The trip plan required serious consultation with the my financial controller and love of my life, and many board room discussions. Without boring you all with the details the net result was it was GO! My CEO was also going to get her dream trip to the UK to catch up with our daughter Mickie along with stop overs in Italy & Norway. It is only money isn't it!
Anyway, I won't bore you all to death if you've made it this far. More to come later! This is pre-trip blog stuff... More Silly Grins In NZ to come!
