With a loud swing of the doors and the sound of wheels rolling on the hardwood floors, we had woken the others. A lazy morning greeting later, everyone started getting dressed; we were heading out. Even after 24 hours...

And……the first thing we did was — bathrooms. Power walking towards the bathroom with a large swing of the door we were greeted with the dreamed toilets. Sanitary sheets laid down, a warm seat, and a spray to your tushie. This was the toilet everyone talked about and it did not disappoint. Arriving fairly early in the night, getting through customs and baggage was...

    One of the Better Meals

    A little more than an hour into the flight, dinner service began. We had a choice of two selections. Prawn and Vegetable Tempura Over Steamed Rice or Hungarian Style Beef Goulash. I was a bit unsure of what the beef goulash was and being that we were traveling to Japan, I chose the tempura set...
