You need to be of a certain age to know this phrase – and
also to have to know that this is the title of an absolutely wonderful book
(for adults and mature audiences).
It also belongs to a different era and unlikely to be
popular or even relate-able – seriously in terms of the advances and fast pace
of change we are witnessing, it truly is a snapshot of the glorious past.
There are several reasons I liked it, one of them primarily
because it was written in the glory days of airline travel when it still was a
luxury and for the privileged few. In
fact when I read it, it already was two decades old.
