The light meal plan is the same as the full meal plan described above except the light meal plan does not include dinner. Under the light meal plan, the dinner venue is chosen by and paid for by you. Of course you are still welcome to join your hosts at dinner if you choose, and if you do, you will receive the same level of service as full meal plan guests.
The light meal plan offers freedom of choice of dining venue. Formal or casual, grand or petit, you are free to decide on your own restaurant choices, and your hosts can help with a recommendation. Most European restaurants post their menus outside. Choosing a restaurant by previewing its menu and sampling its ambiance is an enjoyable evening experience in Europe.
