PAN AM PANACHE


It always happens. Relaxed and energized after a quick holiday in Palm Beach, my mood was instantly crushed by my less than stellar flight home. From the required security shoe stripping to the crying baby leaning over my diminutive seat, my flight left me wistful for the past, when traveling was kinder, gentler, and definitely more glamorous.  Allison Silver's 20th Centrury Travel: 100 Years of Globe Trotting Ads, is a study of this lost period;  a visual delight of exotic travel destinations and beautifully attired couples. With over 300 pages of exquisite eye candy, the book is a fun romp back to a time of elegant and gracious travel.
