fight or flight

I checked out possible flight scenarios the other day at Flight Centre. The possibilities given were on AirNZ or Air Tahiti Nui. Air Tahiti costs $200 less, but adds 6 hours or more to the flight, which could send me absolutely mental. On the up side, I could spend some time in Tahiti, but that would rocket the cost back up to the Air NZ price, and then some. The death knell for Air Tahiti was the fact that they only flew into LA. I really need to fly into San Francisco so I can see Mark.

On that note, the itinerary has changed somewhat of late. Now it looks like the best order is to travel with Chris, then see Mark afterwards, which would allow the best travelling opportunities. Things on the agenda to see are (in no particular order): Las Vegas, Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon, Yosemite, San Diego, Los Angeles/Hollywood, San Francisco, and Baja California. I had a quick glance through a Baja travel guide and it looks very cool - definitely a week's stay required. Real Mexican food!

Addendum: found a cheaper flight on FlightsDirect NZ. It is a KLM codeshare with Air NZ, which is cool. Both my nationalities get a workout on one trip!

You could do the Air Tahiti flight and fly a couple of weeks early doing Disneyland with me! Ok I know, but Im hopeful of not having to do Disneyland by myself.
I can't believe you went all that way and didnt see Europe and Im so jealous about the EU passport!
