Decision made.

Well with the decision made there were some final details to decide.
How do we fly to New York
What Cabin shall we have
Where shall we stay near Heathrow
Where shall we stay in New York

So final details are

Exeter to Heathrow , let someone else do the driving, within a budget of course.

Stay near Heathrow, my IHG rewards points made this a freebie.

How are we flying, lets go Premium Economy.

And in New York, CASA Hotel 45th Street

Finally the cabin

Job done and the most expensive adventure we have ever had was sorted and we couldn't be happier.
