Flying in Style

I've been flying across the atlantic ocean at least twice a year now for 6 years.  On this current trip to Zurich I flew in business class for the first time on the way over here.  Considering how often I fly it was surprisingly exciting to be sitting up the front of the plane treated to a pair of socks, an eye mask and with sirloin steak on the menu.  It was a red eye flight though and I slept (soundly) through most of it.  

I was looking forward to trying the full 5 course meal on the way home but it looks like I haven't been upgraded on this leg so I'll be in the narrow seats on the way home.  Oh well.  It was nice while it lasted.  I have really enjoyed the trip to Switzerland but I must admit that I'm ready to go home to sleep in my own bed and cook in my own ktichen.
