Much ado about nothing,
What I should be doing and what I am doing are often two different things. Today is no exception.
I leave for Los Angeles on the 27th of this month, yes folks that is soon ! For those who were not clued in by my cleverly disguised show off post , I won ANOTHER trip to Los Angeles. This time it was courtesy of Covergirl cosmetics. A trip for two, including spending money. As Borat would say Niceeeeeee!
I am taking my oldest daughter Sarah seeing as it is meant to be a girls trip and well she is a girl.

Our E tickets and shuttle vouchers etc all arrived this week in a nice little pouch complete with pens for filling out departure and arrival cards. It finally started to feel real once they arrived, until now it has all been emails and phone calls.
We get to go collect the spending money cheque and get our make up done at the Covergirl offices on Monday. Fortunetly the dollar has gone back up a few cents in the last week. Things were looking dire for awhile there. I am still going to be mentally doubling the price of everything when I am actually shopping in the States though. 58 US cents to one NZ dollar is the current rate.
Having said all that I should be sorting out luggage, deciding what to pack. Deciding which book to take on the plane ( trust me that IS an important decision)
Making shopping lists, looking at google maps to figure out how to make the most of each day.
We arrive on Thanksgiving Day at 10.40 in the morning so we should be at our hotel by lunchtime.Anyone want to invite us for Thanksgiving dinner haha.
I have added on three extra nights in Anaheim because there is no way I am going to be that close to Disneyland and not go !! Sarah has not been since she was six and barely remembers it so for her it is almost like a first trip. Our hotel will be a total downgrade from the Sofitel to a budget hotel across from Disney. I am sure we will cope though. This will be my first time at Disney during the holidays and I am so excited to see it all decked out for Christmas. Having said that I am also starting to feel horrible that poor Miss Rebecca isn't coming with us. I see huge piles of "guilt" presents under the tree for her this year haha.
