The sandwiches were pretty ordinary.  At one place, they gave us a bag
with a bun plus ham, cheese, tomato and lettuce wrapped in cellophane
separately.  At least that meant that the bun did not get soggy waiting
to be eaten.  Nevertheless, we did not go hungry on the trip.  There
were a few decent meals, and a few very good meals.  But, this tour
company does not focus on quality dining.  Many of their customers are
retired mid-western farmers who are strict meat & potatoes people, not
very adventurous.

At our last meal, we were given a choice of prime rib, grilled salmon or
chicken teriyaki.   I chose the prime rib and wrote (RARE) after my
check mark.  I had my doubts, but the restaurant (with some prodding by
our tour guide) actually served me a piece of meat that was at least
pink all the way through.  The lady sitting across me (from Texas) could
hardly bear to look at it -- she will only eat medium well or more.
