March 21
This morning was an early one. We were up at 5:00 to make sure we had
time to shower, pack up, and eat breakfast in the executive lounge.
We scarfed down breakfast pretty quickly. It was probably one of the
best breakfasts we've had our whole trip. After breakfast it was time
to head to the airport. We got there and I got to check in with
business class bc I got upgraded. I had to pay and use miles but it
was worth it to me. My back has been hurting for the past 4 or 5 days
so it was nice to be comfortable. Going through security was a
breeze. One thing I noticed in Zurich at the airport was that they
asked those security questions like they used to ask a long long time
ago at airports. You know, the ones where they are almost making you
feel guilty and want you to confess that you've done something wrong
except that you haven't done anything wrong. Moving on, we didn't
have to wait too long for boarding. I went with the first group and
found my seat. It was so roomy! I had my own personal tv that played
movies and tv shows and did other stuff too. As much as I wanted to
sleep, I wanted to stay up to enjoy the business class amenities. So
I really only slept for about 2 hours. They fed us really well. Our
lunch was 5 courses if you include the warm nuts and the ice cream
sundaes for desert. They our snack was more like a light lunch. It
was just really nice. My overseas traveling may never be the same. I
have been spoiled and I might always want to be spoiled now. I was
able to lay my seat almost completely flat. It was really weird
though when I pushed the flat button bc my chair started lifting up
and I was a little freaked out. But really it just needed to do some
moving around before it could lay flat. Oh and the blankets weren't
the rinky dink ones that you get in coach. They were decently thick.
After the flight customs was easy. They never asked me any
questions. They just asked me where I went and what I did. I told
him I was a kinder teacher and he said, "oh you teach them when they
are still innocent.". After customs we had to go back through
security. They searchedmy bag probably bc I forgot to put my burts
bees hand lotion from business class in my quart sized bag. Oh well.
The others wanted some food but I was so stuffed I couldn't eat so I
just watched. Then we waited for our planes which were all around the
same time. Which brings me to right now. I'm on the plane. The
flight was supposed to leave at 4:20 but then delayed to 4:40. I'm
not really sure when we actually took off but it was most certainly
delayed. They are playing chronicles of narnia. I watched some but
I'm tired of watching the rest. I bought a few magazines so I'll
probably read those.
Overall our trip was definitely a trip of a lifetime. I enjoyed it
all. Once again there are things I should not have taken but not much
less. I'm so glad I got the chance to go.
