It's your enthusiasm for every aspect of the experience that makes your reports so much fun. You literally take your readers along with you for the ride.
As a nowadays economy traveler (rare op-ups aside) I found myself remembering flying Pan Am in First and my first caviar service and relishing the experience in the same way you do. It was very evocative.

I prefer the text reports......I find the pictures are so much better Almost anyone can take a photograph but to deliver that image with words is a craft and a talent. Thank you.
