Your so organized! You write such great reports I can't wait to look into everything. I just went through your food pics and everything looked so yummy. How was the peppermint bark sundae? I had peppermint ice cream in a waffle cone last time I was at Magic Kingdom and it was so good it's a must do when I go back along with the hot chocolate float. They put a scoop of vanilla in the hot chocolate and it's so good! It's beyond words

 

[that's nice]

Subbing!

I was actually running out of space to post links to my reports and reviews in my signature.
I LOVED the peppermint bark sundae! I love anything peppermint and this was a special treat!
I have never heard of the hot chocolate float - must put that on my to try list for another spring trip! Don't think I can handle hot chocolate in the August sun!

Day 1, February 19

Are you sure you have a reservation? - Part 1

Finally February 19 had arrived – it was time to go on vacation!

Our suitcases had only been packed the night before and there were just a few items still needed to be thrown in last minute. So we got a good night’s sleep and I got up around 7am, got ready, turned off the water and unplugged everything that could be unplugged before I locked my flat behind me and went to our favourite baker to pick up some rolls.

Then I went to our house to have breakfast before it was time to leave for the airport. When I arrived Tom had just gotten up and we prepared breakfast, sat down and enjoyed rolls, pumpkinseed rolls, ham, eggs, juice and some tea.

Then the last few items got packed and after saying goodbye to Pixie, the cat, we were off to the airport. Well, not quite.
Right when we were ready to leave I remembered the one chore I had forgotten to do – watering the plants in my flat! Since I had already turned off the water, Tom filled an empty bottle with water for me and we went to my flat first, so my flowers would not have to die whilst I was gone.

Needless to say the unplanned stop made us a little late for the airport, but thankfully Linz airport is pretty small and you can check in until 30 minutes prior to your flight.
The drive to the airport was uneventful, even though it was a busy Saturday morning and we arrived there with time to spare. We parked the car in the long term car park, found a space not too far from the entrance, got everything out of the car and off we went. The walk is pretty short, about 90 seconds and we were inside the well heated airport building. Before we checked in our baggage I changed my shoes from the closed ones I had to wear in the wintery weather to some more summer type shoes and threw the other ones in the suitcase. Then we got in line, only one guy ahead of us, checked in our luggage and went over to the security checkpoint.
There is not much to see and do before and after the checkpoint, so there was no point in not going through security. Everything was a-okay, now that we have learned that even a gum wrapper can set off the alarm we really empty our pockets before going through.

Once inside we checked the flight times, our 11.15 flight was on time, so we walked through the duty free shop, which is tiny and in no time it was time to get in line to board the plane.
Our airport is so small that you actually walk over to the plane. It was starting to snow outside and we both were glad to be able to leave the snow and cold behind.

We stowed our hand luggage, settled into our seats and waited for things to come. A little later we were told that boarding was completed and we were good to go.
That first flight is only 50 minutes and as soon as we had reached cruising altitude

we were served some drinks,

Coke for me and coffee for Tom and a Nussini,

layered wafer biscuits filled with chocolate cream and covered in milk chocolate and chopped nuts. What a nice treat.
Time just flew by and we landed right on time in Frankfurt.

 

[jenseib]

That nussini looks darn good! I love how you always show us your plane treats. It's been years since I've had a plane treat even given to me. I have to bring my own or buy one for an outrageous price.

Nussinis are REAL YUMMY!!!!!!! They are very common here and I guess we are pretty lucky Lufthansa still caters on short flights!
And I was reminded of your earlier comment, that you had to bring your own snacks when we were at the airport for our flight home. There was a couple filling a basket with snacks and only then did it dawn on me that not everyone was as lucky as we are travelling Lufthansa.
