1 hour before I purchased a flight ticket for my son Harry to come home, from America,

for Christmas 2012 in New Zealand, my very generous mother,

decided the entire family are going with her on her last overseas trip abroad.

Brother Craig chose India; his "spiritual home".

There is no place I want to go to less,

but if I want to see my sons Luke and Harry at Christmas,

I have to go.

This blog will tell the tale ...from start to finish.

Will I love India or hate it?

RE: INDIA TRIP for HARRY

Subject: Ok let's start planning in earnest

Please advise if these dates fit with each of you ASAP
NB Ann I have returned you with Luke - if that's good for you. Otherwise you get back to take over high time.
Harry depart NY 19th Dec Arrive Chennai 20th Dec. Return NY from Chennai 7th Jan arrive NY 8th Jan
Laura depart Canada (to be confirmed) 17th Dec Arrive Chennai 18th Dec. Leave with main body to Auckland on 15th. Your two bookings will need to be made in USA & Canada with Singapore Airlines but at present only need confirmation that the dates are good and what are the departure ports are best for you
June, Craig, Cheryl, India, Mickey, Christine, Stew, Emily, Blair, Ann, Luke Depart Auckland 17th Dec arrive Chennai 18th Dec
Ann, Luke depart Chennai 7th Jan to Auckland arrive 8th Jan
June, Craig, Cheryl, India, Mickey, Christine, Stew, Emily, Blair, Laura Return from Chennai 15th Jan To Singapore depart Singapore 17th Jan arrive Auckland same day.
Anyone wanting to return early can go with Ann & Luke on 7th but need to know soon
so look at the dates and let me know you are all good. Arriving at Chennai saves $3 to $4k in airfares and we will travel by train north and west back to Chennai for the two departures.
These dates and legs need to be confirmed soon to ensure a very good rate with Singapore Air - there is a sale on at the moment and I need to get the fares locked in to ensure we meet budget! craig
