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!

Day Twenty: New Mattress

Tonight will be the first time in our married life that Jeff and I will sleep on a truly brand new, fresh-from-the-package mattress in our bedroom. The one we've been using for the last eight years (when it hasn't been in storage) was a floor model in the store, offered to us at a deep discount. And the mattresses we used prior to that time were all hand-me-downs. We are ridiculously excited, as the old mattress was quite lumpy and uncomfortable. Here's to a good night's sleep on our first brand new mattress!
