Sunsets bubbly fireworks and a big apple

This trip has got me like a giddy kipper already.

We have some Virgin miles to spend this year ( like last ) and just enough for next year too.

Having discovered Key West last Christmas we decided to reserve our room for next Christmas and the New Year.

Now spending VA miles is no easy task you either get out and can't get a flight back or visa versa. Trick is if you want to fly UCS aim for a bigger plane. So its in to Miami and out of New York.

Heres whats on the cards so far.

20th Dec: Train in first to London, unless Leeds Bradford Airport resumes flights to Heathrow... such a shame BMI are pulling out.

20th Dec: Arrive Paddington Hilton check in to King Split Level suite
hopefully it will be warm enough to eat on the balcony we will see.

21st Dec: Get HEX to Heathrow and make our way to the bliss of The Clubhouse ( promised myself a Cartier shoulder bag from downstairs too ) get a nice shave in the clubhouse, eggs benedict and a mohito

21st Dec: Arrive Miami on the VS005, collected by hotel limo and arrive Mandarin Oriental, bay view room ( suites were too much money lol ) Have afternoon tea on terrace overlooking Biscayne Bay.

23rd Dec: Our car should arrive and drive us down to Key West for two weeks of Christmas and NewYear relaxation.

6th Jan 2010: Flight to Miami from Key West, then Continental First to New York, car should be waiting for us to take us to out Sky Suite at the London New York City hotel on the 54th floor, meal downstairs
at Gordon Ramsays.

10th Jan Fly out of Kennedy to Heathrow.
11th Jan arrive Heathrow car to take us to Hotel 41 in London for some relaxation before either flying or train up north to Harrogate.

14th back home.

Will then be using the last of our miles so far for a full on Disney trip in Nov when all the new stuff should be open.

My apologies if this looks like extravagance or showing off, it is extravagant and I am not showing off just very excited and its what my trips end up like, so please be happy for me

If I had an itinerary like that I would want to tell everyone too. What do you plan to do on Christmas Day and New Year's Eve?

Sounds a wonderful trip - I'm all for luxury and extravagance - just can't afford it. Have a fantastic time.
