Day Three Hundred Thirty-Five: Admiral's Club

Sadly, we have come to the end of our vacation and are headed back to Dallas shortly. But, since we bought first class tickets for this overnight flight, we gained access to the Admirmal's Club, a First for all of us. Unsurprisingly, the buffet and open bar have been a hit with our crew, and everyone is supremely happy while we wait on our flight! It's fun to feel a little fancy before we jump back into the real world!

Day Two Hundred Eighty-Three: Steak Dinner on a Plane

We were sad to leave Rapa Nui, but the service and perks awaiting us in the first class cabin of our flight back to the mainland made it a little easier to say goodbye. While we enjoyed the sleeping arrangements the most on the way to Easter Island, we probably enjoyed the dining the most on the way back. It was truly the first time I have had a steak dinner--complete with real silverware, cloth napkins, and my choice of complementary wine--on a plane, and it felt pretty fancy!

Day Two Hundred Eighty: First Class Flight

We have flown business class before but have never had a true first class experience until now. Jeff and I decided to spring for the upgrade for our trip out to Easter Island because it was a long flight, at 5:30 am, after a long day and night of flying and waiting around in airports. It was well worth the splurge to get to lay out flat and get several hours of quality sleep with "real comforters and pillows," which greatly impressed the kids! There were several other nice perks as well, and we had a wonderful and easy trip.

I could get used to this!
