> One of the best decisions we made that evening was choosing to only bringing the best snacks and dinner option available. Which happened to be smoked salmon and mussels accompanied by biryani rice. This ended up being just the magic we needed to keep morale up as the evening came to an end.

Exactly this. Never underestimate how important a good snack can be to improving morale in a difficult situation.

In many situations just a bit of chocolate can literally be the way to lift the mental fog of war and make it significantly easier to keep plodding through whatever stressful situation you are dealing with.

A good snack really does work magic.

Well, by contrast I took it to show how much of a non-event this story really was. At least for the rich folks in this story.

If the person is sleeping 9 hours and dining on smoked salmon and mussels, is it really the "escape" from danger they made it out to be?
