0Just put it down as one of those idiomatic things - we refer to our "plans" for dinner, for lunch, for travel, for college, for retirement... if you say "I hve a plan" it sound far more deliberate, detailed, and thought out. 02br

00I have a plan for dinner - first we will do this, then we will do that, then we will do this other thing.02br
