the first bags to come out. So someone must be looking at them - or we just are lucky.
Of course - not completely lucky. In Alaska 3 of our bags were the first off the line.
The 4th never showed so we waited an hour anyway - it did arrive that night ane we
got it in the morning so it ended up not being a big deal. Mostly DH's hiking boots and
stuff like that so not needed that night - but would have ruined his trip (well, put a damper
on it) had they not arrived. On the way home all 4 plus our oddly wrapped new walking
sticks all came out first. We were out of there way before the crowd. Very nice.

We must have had an unusual experience because we all enjoyed the meals inflight
and had wonderful service. Even two movies on the return flight which made DS
very happy. We ordered him the kids meal - on the way there it was OK - he liked
it. On the way home it was excellent - I had to keep stealing bites from it.

I did find out one interesting thing about the movies. One was more of an adult film -
Million Dollar Baby. I asked about the rating and she said they edit them for inflight
viewing since children are present. I had always wondered about that.
