It's a wonderful town!

So I'm going to New York.
At least I think I am.
The Boy has a meeting in New York in May and has asked if I want to meet him over there and we can have a bit of a holiday.
As we are still fairly new to this relationship, we still like each other and so of course I said yes.
What I didn't think of was that I would have to pay for it myself.
I knew in the back of my mind that I would be paying, I just never really stopped and thought of how much it would cost to go to the States for a week.
Because that's all I can afford.
Okay 10 days, but it's practically a week and I'll lose time in travel so it might as well be a week.
The current plan has us in New York for a few days (two to myself for shopping) and then we'll fly across the country to Los Angeles and Disneyland!
That's right, I'm going to Disneyland!
I know how pathetic that is for a near 30 year old but I still want to go.
And I'll need at least two days.
But don't think we're only doing stuff I want to do.
We're also (in the current plan) going to Legoland.
Yeah, you heard me.
Legoland.
Due to some recent accquisitions by The Boy, the allotment of household Lego per person has pretty much quadrupled.
Because no one else but him had any Lego in the first place.
Now he has a couple of castles and a dragon along with a set from the Indiana Jones series as well as all the Lego he was ever given as a kid that he's now decided to catalogue.
I came home yesterday to find him sitting in his office surrounded by Lego, sorted into like colours and shapes, trying to put together as many designs as possible (so, naturally, I took a photo).
And this is why he has decided that we're going to Legoland in California, which is apparently quite near Disneyland so "we might as well check it out if we're in the area".
But really, I don't think I care what he buys, as long as he let's me use up his luggage limit with all of the shoes I plan on buying.
And he will.
Because we still like each other.
