Delta Upgrade

I got upgraded for the Seattle-Honolulu leg of my trip. A Pleasant Rarity! But it wasn't the bed/private apartment that they show on TV. It consisted of some of the following: A much nicer smelling bathroom probably because only 24 people could use it verses 100's. A larger, chushy-er chair already embellished with those elusive pillows and blankets, as well as a small bottle of water. Another freebie was the delta headphones - but my old ears still couldn't clearly hear the movie with all the normal plane noise.  I really do need to buy some noise canceling ones! The frequently offered variety of drinks ( even Mai Tia's ! ) were served from hand hald trays and not elbow bumping, isle blocking carts. The silver wear was REAL and we even got a KNIFE (a pre-schooler safety type). I can't comment on the quality of the food since they had run out of "first class menu" by the time they had gotten back to me, but the sandwich was good and it included a gelato AND a cookie for dessert. A cloth placemat as well as a cloth napkin added to the "classyness" of the dining. I still wish I could try one of those bed/apartment seats before I stop my long haul adventuring, but I so appreciate the travel gods that pulled my Delta sky miles number for this nice upgrade. Thank you, Thank you! 

Side note - I wish I had taken a photo of the salt and pepper dispenser - so cute.... No paper packets for us! 

Besides doing all the trip planning for us - Cynthia actually welcomed me with a lei upon arrival.
