I love Hemispheres. I look forward to reading it every month. Three Perfect Days is great and made better by the fact that they are available online. I, too, use bits and pieces of the itinerary for my trips. I don't really mind the ads since UA is providing the magazine as a free service and need to recoup the costs somehow. The route maps definitely need their lines recolored - the gray is impossible to decipher. I also miss the Row 22 travel-related mystery stories and do hope they'll be back soon!
