Fast forward

Next few days, our home base will be one of several. The Indian motorcycle Company (Polaris) is launching the new bikes in Auckland, NZ. As John is a guest speaker, we are spending a few days in one of the luxury hotels up there during that time.
Here, I will recline on one of their wonderful beds and I had to put John in as well to be busy with his computer at the desk. Photograph pinched from the hotel site.

Three good things:
Family arriving from all points to join up as John has a big birthday around this time.
One son, we haven’t seen for 4 years,another son, 3 years, and another daughter, 7 years!
Will they recognise us? Should I put a mustache on to give them a fright?
Sounds fun! Especially the "luxury" part! U are good at the photoshopping!

Wow it sounds like a fabulous trip - very exciting and lovely to stay in luxury! The best thing though sounds like your family get together with your children! Such a long time for you not seeing them! Do they live in different countries? Have a wonderful time and I hope someone takes a photo of you and your husband seeing your family after all this time! That will be a priceless photo! Great shot and processing!

May 26th, 2014  
Sorry two stray question marks in there!
May 26th, 2014  
@happypat He's been trying for that for a while but at a price of NZ$30,000 its a bit much!
May 26th, 2014  
@pamknowler Our family live in 5 different countries, Pam. I might put a real photograph of the duplicate of this one if it works.
May 26th, 2014  
@maggiemae the least they could do all the effort he's putting in....suppose they are paying for these fancy hotels though!!
May 26th, 2014  
@anazad511 Japan, British Virgin Islands, Australia, England and of course there are still some left in NZ, Ana!
May 26th, 2014  
@happypat These hotels aren't cheap, Pat and they pay for our airfares to get there! Such Fun - as Miranda says!
May 26th, 2014  
How cool that you get to travel with him.
May 26th, 2014  
@maggiemae OMG, they are spread all over. And you have many children. Definitely it's going to be a great occasion.

@chard I think that will be off limits, Richard! Too expensive!
May 26th, 2014  
Awesome shot
May 27th, 2014  
Such a clever girl to put yourself and John into this shot like this! Glad yo see you have your priorities right as you recline!
May 27th, 2014  
You are so creative. Love it.

How exciting that you will get to spend time with family to celebrate John's birthday. ENJOY. And how fun to stay in "luxury" accommodations--always fun, especially when someone else is paying the tab ; )
May 27th, 2014  
Wonderful! Have a great time!
May 27th, 2014  
Have fun! Love your edit!

Very cleverly done Maggiemae! Hope you have a wonderful time and that John has a great birthday. And I think perhaps no moustache. :)
May 27th, 2014  
Nice "dream" shot! Very effective.
May 27th, 2014  
@wordpixman Arthur, hopefully, this is not a dream! I'll see if I can shoot a similar shot with me, at least, on the hotel beds!
May 27th, 2014  
@tristansmum thankyou Stephanie! I shall control my picmonkey imagination!
May 27th, 2014

May 27th, 2014  
Enjoy the family time Maggiemae. The luxury is great but if yours kids are there then it could be a tent!
