AJ747M, Thanks for the great report. At the beginning of the thread, you worried about readers appreciating the quality of your writing, but I'd say that you have a career possibility, or at least a good secondary option, as a flight reviewer! Your descriptions were great, clear, calm and not the least bit rude or hyper-critical. Perhaps QR will make you a brand manager. Anyway, for me, despite some envy of your upgrades and route here, your enthusiasm and enjoyment showed, and they made a good story really a pleasure to read. I look forward to taking a similar journey. By the way, don't complain about being "carded" for your age. When it stops, and it will one day, you'll miss it more than you're bothered by it now... LOL!!
Thanks again,
Allen
