Lost in translation
Pat’s in Stockholm on business this week. Neither of us had ever traveled abroad, and I admit I’m jealous. But I comforted myself with the knowledge that Sweden in January is cold and dark. Plus, according to the airline, his 7+ hour flight didn’t even include a meal! I can’t sleep on planes, the food service is what keeps me happy.
So this morning I wake up to the following in my email:
… What SAS meant when they said no food service was that you got unlimited drinks, a snack, a choice of dinner between chicken, salmon, and pasta, another snack, and a light breakfast of rolls, ham, cheese, and yogurt.
The service was really good and you were given metal flatware (including a butter knife) and glass glasses for your drinks.
At least it’s still cold and dark.

Yup, I checked. Not even going above freezing till Friday and the sun is setting before 4 PM. The poor man’s probably really suffering.

I’m sure Pat is miserable and that the food tasted really bad. He can have real flatware at home, along with glass ware! I bet he’s ready to come home!
