Travel Day starts with packing the car. And this trip we've trimmed down a bit! Yay us!
And so it begins with a suggestive upgrade bid email from Lufthansa for 1st class seating. I entered a bid of 10% the normal upgrade price and was, to our amazement, accepted. This kicked off a number of wonderful add on benefits... like 1st class lounges, private escorts through terminals, car rides directly to the plane instead of commuter busses etc. And as you can see in this picture, a lounge kickoff glass of delicious French bubbly.
Once in our seats, more bubbly, and although there were only 8 seats in first class, the conversations were joyful!
Each seat was like a private office, comfort loaded and fully convertible to a bedroom. One of our neighbors was a CEO of an AI company, and another was a past 747 pilot who flies first class any time seats are available....
Even the bathrooms had space with their window view.
The best feature was the full bed... and sleep we did!
Appetizers were delicious yet the cost, if full price were paid, would be too much no matter how good the food and bed... in my opinion.
Breakfast omelets, bacon, lox, fresh fruit and yogurt were a great wake up meal. Then we rented our car and drove 3 hours to our Dolomite hotel... the infinity pool was beautiful and nearly 90 degrees!
Then on to dinner, as we have 7 days of 3/4 board which includes breakfast, afternoon snacks and a full gourmet dinner.
Too tired to eat, but when the food is this good, it hurts but must be eaten nonetheless.
Ravioli with chanterelle mushrooms.
Lake Chad perfectly cooked... and a bottle of local red lagrein... and exhaustion hit hard.
