So we both got an e-mail offering to choose our meals.

My wife's, whose return is quite a bit later than mine, got the offer for the outbound only.

Mine included the return also. However the return is still outside the window by a couple of days. So I actually could not request my chice, because the thing only accepts a request for the entire itinerary.

Anyway, who are the clueless folks who designed such a system?
