| Mustard Soup, to die for... |

| Pat & Linda We had an uneventful overnight flight into Dusseldorf. After arrival, I made a mistake in comparing our accommodations and meals with Larry. He & Pat were in first class and Linda & I were in "coach". Right off the bat, it reminded me of the difference between a category 7 Hilton and a Motel Six. First class, for meals, had a shrimp & avocado cocktail, along with soup & salad. For an entree, they had a choice of Fillet, with a lobster dish, or seared chicken breast over rice or Lasagna. For dessert they had fresh made Sundays, with a choice of toppings. Their wine selection included 2 reds, 2 whites and 2 dessert wines. Their wine was in bottles with corks. Not only that, they had a recliner that made into a bed and the Captain came back to see them and talk about the flight. They had real pillows and a down comforter. How nice... Meanwhile....back of the curtain..we had a choice between some chicken dish or a vegetable pasta dish. Our dessert was a 2" square of brownie, wrapped in cellophane. Our seats reclined 2"inches. Our pillows were like something a baby doll might have. Our blankets..I don't want to go there. You won't hear me complain..I'm just proud to be on the trip. The picture is a bowl of Mustard soup I had tonight at dinner. Very good. We are tired, long night, long day, turning in. Good night Also, I almost forgot, our choice of wine...one red...and it came in a box and we haven't laid eyes on the Captain, yet. One other thing, I forgot to mention breakfast...we had an Egg Mcmuffin with a banana and they had omelets, with assorted fruits and cereals. |
