Yep, Boeing did it again. Since so many planes had to be serviced they cancelled the shorter flights. Which might not even come back because of environmental concerns with short flights.
Wow that's very inconvenient!
Well, people who need help, families with children and most of all travellers with status with an airline can board first, so that's why there are more people in those first groups.
The people who need help Preboard, and that was the problem. All the people in group 1 were blocking the gate so the preboarders could not get through.
It was just so very surprising after you posted about Victoria and Alberts
Well, the only reason that I was able to have that meal at Victoria and Albert's was that I had a very large balance on my Disney Rewards card which covered the meal completely and some of the tip, so I really only paid for 25% of the cost of the meal.
The trip to Egypt was surprisingly affordable, but I still paid for it in "payments", and only finished paying off the trip in full in March. I was determined not to end up paying for the trip to Europe for months after I came back since I ended up doing that before.
and the upcoming trip across the pond on
DCL with tea reservations for close to 100$.
Yes that it true, but it's also the only fancy meal we plan while in London. And this is a big splurge. I'm furiously listing things on eBay to pay for the fancy meals on the ship.
And I just had to LOL when you mentioned that you only wanted to spend time with friends and do what they do. You should have told me earlier and we could have walked around the little lake behind your hotel daily and taken you grocery shopping.
I would have been happy to walk around the little lake behind my hotel, for maybe one day and grocery shopping is always fun! Especially if we had returned to your place and cooked up a feast!
I was under the impression you wanted to travel around and see different things.
You seemed very happy with the itinerary that we provided.
I very much enjoyed the itinerary that you provided, but I would have also been happy just doing every day kind of things like sitting on the patio enjoying beverages and meeting your sometimes kitty kat, but that was just not meant to be.
There are lots of different place which have their "own" Bratwurst. The Nürnberger are quite similar to the ones that are served at Christmas Markets or when the fair is on. Ours are a tiny bit bigger though and you only get 4. Usually served with Sauerkraut and a yummy roll.
That sounds delicious. We have regional foods in America, as you know, but it's more like different kinds of pizza, and sandwiches.
Very different from the US drip coffee. But this is one of the lower level coffee makers, there are way better ones around.
US drip coffee is horrible. I almost never drink it.
I usually have to be under some sort of duress to do so. Even at Jill's I've learned how to make decent tasting coffee in the drip machine that she keeps for her parent's visits.
This must be a German thing then!
Because I have never heard of that in all the countries we have visited. And yes, I have been known to turn on the AC in the winter in France as you sometimes can't open windows and we can't sleep when it is too warm in the room.
I was also told that AC is regulated in Italy and can't be turned on before a certain time.....weird.
Well, who wouldn't if they use public transport as their main means of transport.
Since that is such a foreign concept to me, it boggles my mind. I'm too afraid to take public transport in LA cause people get assaulted all the time.
It's a curry ketchup sauce and it is not on my list to ever have again. Sorry!
Not sorry, I tried it once and don't ever need to have it again. I don't like ketchup on my hot dogs in America.
I would have prefered for you to take this flight - would have given us a whole day of sightseeing in Vienna (instead of 5+ hours on a train), evening at a Heuriger and spend the night at a hotel in Vienna instead of the Frankfurt airport hotel. We could have dropped you off at the airport and your luggage would have been out of the way until you got back to LA.
I didn't even know this was an option! That you would drive me all the way to Vienna. I was trying to be independent and take care of myself so that I didn't ask too much of you as such gracious hosts!
I agree with you. Pretty easy to make, both the dough and putting it through the machine.
I plan to do it again, next week.....
That does not surprise me. You get what you pay for and while I cannot speak for Germany here in Austria you opted for the cheapest of wines (2.99 per bottle) in the supermarket. Remember we tried to talk you into a more expensive bottle, but you said you'd rather have quantity than quality. ("I can get three bottles (of the cheap wine) for less of what I would have to pay of the other one").
Yes, I do remember that, but if I'm just sitting around the room in the evening sipping wine, I don't see the need to have expensive wine. Especially when the €2.99 bottles are better than the $5 in the US. At home I drink boxed wine for sipping and save the expensive nice bottles for when I make a special meal, have company, or go to Jenny's and Michael's where he cooks a fabulous meal.
White asparagus is not for everyone. I don't blame you - it's the same with mac and cheese for us - not something I need. And while you didn't have any more asparagus - I did. It's so good when it is in season and cooked right.
It's not the white asparagus so much is the size of the asparagus. I really prefer the small asparagus we have in the US, and sometimes, it's not even small here, but I've never seen it so big in the US as it was in Europe.
What was wrong with it? It looks pretty nice.
OK, I'm probably a silly American, but I want a garden salad as a side to a meal like this.
There were too many "extra things" like corn, I think there might have been beans in there. And the lettuce pieces were HUGE, like they didn't tear them up or cut the pieces at all. It wasn't my favorite part of the meal, but the Jaegerschnitzel and the spaetzle were delicious.
