I agree with SAtraveller that an "art gallery" in comparison to other features that could be used in this space is a bad management decision that just looks silly if you know what is out there. Even benches are nicer to hang out in instead of looking at a dark space.
I also add my vote that air travel is a public place. I am sure many journalists would agree as well. Being discreet and non paparazzi-like is another thing. ^

Agree -- generally love these reports, but was not a fan of casual shaming of people just sitting on their own, doing their own thing, because they don't look the way you'd like them to. It's your writing, and you can do whatever you want with these reports, but for what it's worth -- agree with the other posters saying the shift in tone from good-natured to not is considerably less attractive. Maybe there's an audience who will love it, though.
She left the house expecting to be looked at. Growing up half my friends had Mohawks and multi colored hair, or dressed in a way that coveted attention... we expected it, we relished in it. I can say with some assurance, I don't think that girl cares one way or another if folks think her outfit is kooky looking.

SFO777 evidently lives very, very dangerously.
First he combines Ambien with generous pours from AF's cellars. And then he mixes a couple of bottles from his hotel's perhaps equally impressive offerings with all that wild, swirling bedroom wallpaper! Reminds me of an old hit song from the 1960s -- "Dizzy, / I'm so Dizzy, my head is spinning . . . ."

[QUOTE=PWMTrav;27131114]FT has a luxury hotel forum. It's not a bad place to start for ideas. But honestly, if you're in the market, just googling will get you there.
I think this is a Chateau and Relais Hotel. They have Manor houses throughout Europe. They have a very nice book of hotels, including quite a few in Ireland.

Did I spell it wrong ( I have been known to make grammar/spelling mistakes)?

I usually enjoy your reports, but I echo the comments on the first page, there was no reason to shame the woman at SNA because she dressed differently or to mock the passengers in the lounge for being "business class at best".
I stopped reading at that point.
