OK, i’ll call this my day zero post because when I first wrote it, I was flying on the plane and not in Poland yet. But here’s what I wrote last night:
For dinner on the plane we had a chicken and rice dish with some peas and carrots, served hot, it was pretty good. Then there was a cold sandwich I guess, two pieces of a salami type lunch meat and cheese and lettuce. One white and one whole wheat slice of bread and some butter. Also one slice of cucumber and a few pieces of peppers.
It is now 4 AM Poland time or 10 PM Eastern, so I am getting a bit tired and may try to sleep soon.
Pat bought me and here a beer earlier, and I had some wine with dinner. Beer was $2 and wine $4, not bad actually
Getting on the plane was not bad, I didn’t need to have worried about any baggage, there was no real check. I have my carry-on bag and also my “man purse” with some of the more important things like my iPhone (tuned off) and netbook in there with me.
There was blanket and a pillow on the seat. Nice touch.
The lady next to me is originally from Bialystok, but lives in the Chicago area now. She is going back to visit her sister. We had a very pleasant chat.
So far the trip is very pleasant and the time is passing by rather quickly. I spent some time on Rosetta Stone but that gets tiring after a bit too.
Pat and Sonja are sitting directly behind me so I’ve chatted with them for a bit too at times. They are a bit silly at times too. But it’s all a lot of fun.
