Dinner will probably be pizza. After you've flown 30 hours you really don't like to go out at all. I've done it about 15 times and it's really tough. Save the Special Dinner for Mother's Day.
30 hours. Ugh, I wouldn't come out of the house for a week!
I have a friend who lives in India. She would fly 23 hours to visit her mom in Ann Arbor every year and invariably would call me to go to lunch the next day. I don't know how she did it. It wears me out just to think about it.
Hope the jet lag clears quickly for your wife. :-)
