pass! Planning to Michaels/whatever later on.
Then:
1D - 2C
3NT (single-suited too good for 1x-3x) - 4S (must be nat because 4D would be slam try; surely 6-5)
5C - 5H (cue)
5S (cue) - 5NT (interested in grand)
6D (accept, not sure about best strain, happy to play 6NT) - 7C
To play it I think I try for ♦Qx(xx) or spades 3-2 (trumps must be 3-1 or 2-2) by ruffing the (say) heart lead then CA, D ruff, CQ, D ruff, CK if necessary and cross to SA for DAK. The second diamond ruff only goes wrong if West has a singleton D and Jx(x) in trumps, which is far offset by the extra chance of picking up queen-fourth with either defender.
Come on Zealandakh, let's see how many relay steps you need to show 7-6
