I want to hear more about the gorgeous FA with the skin-tight blue pants.

Prost Schatzi!

You are too too much fun, and this report is simply the best thing I've seen around here in weeks and months!

I feel SOOOO much better now about our decision to purchase tickets on Aegean Air. The skin tight blue pants will more than make up for having to carry around the paper tickets.

More, please...don't leave us in suspense.

Talk about being damned with faint praise!

Keep it up, mm, (interpret that how you will) and you might progress to comparison with Evelyn Waugh. Or even Oscar.

I'd say more like Jacqueline Susann, or even Jackie Collins. If you know what's good for you!

What a wonderful writing style, Thingorjus, sweetie darling!

We are planning a trip to Greece next summer and this is the greatest introduction I could hope for. Looking forward to hearing the rest of your story.

Did anyone tell you that you are talented?

Good heavens, Thorne Smith. I haven't thought about him in ages. Yes, you're right. Good call, Cigalechanta.

I can see me as Marion traveling with George (thin) and Jackio playing that gin drinking dog. The Topper takes a trip is my favorite when they are on the Cote D'azur

Thanks for the stories Thinnie. Your title reminds me I saw MBE with the fab Helen Mirren not too many years ago. Looking forward to more of your trip report!

Add me to the list of those who adore you, and hang on your every word, sweetie darling! This report continues to have a healing effect on me, so please, please (I'm groveling now, I hate that!) continue.

I second Noel Coward - it has that 30's melange of elegance and decadence.

More please............
