    Destination: Fleeting Moments – Pan Am Memories
    2025/05/04
    Fleeting Moments Pan Am Memories Here's a story that will capture your heart and definitely your interest. Fleeting Moments of Pan Am Memories written by Michelle da Silva Richmond captures her story torn between two lovers with Pan Am as your backdrop. On this show I’m taking a walk down memory lane and going back to not only my days as a Pan American World Airways flight attendant, but my guest Michelle de Silva Richmond will share her memories too. I’ve been asked what was it like working for Pan Am…. The airline is known for so many aviation firsts and the legendary airline is often used in movies, photos of stewardess and stewards during earlier days. But the question what was Working for Pan American World Airways (Pan Am) like? Well, that was glamour on wings. It was the golden age of jet travel, and Pan Am wasn’t just an airline—it was a cultural icon. Think: tailored uniforms, five-course meals, multiple meals services, even in coach, and stewardesses fluent in multiple languages, gliding down the aisles like airborne ambassadors. And for those of us working as stewardess, Stewarts and flight attendants - Appearance mattered—big time. Height, weight, age - especially in the earlier years was a determining factor in not only being hired, but also how long you worked. In the earlier Pan Am days, stewardess resigned once they were married. Being poised was all part of the job description. But it wasn’t just about the glamour… make no mistake, we were well trained in safety and emergency procedures. Michelle and I lived a dream life, filled with adventure, meeting extraordinary people, learning about different cultures and food - and of course there was love. Michelle shares her story. Michelle has been a freelance travel writer for many years. Travel has always been in her blood. She was raised in different countries from the age of two. Her father’s career took them to many countries. Travel was in her blood for sure. She was always interested in writing. She worked for Pan Am starting in 1970’s and worked with the airlines traveling to South & central America, the Caribbean and Europe. After Pan Am she wanted to keep traveling and write about. She has co-authored guide book and contribtored guidebooks. She was the travel editor of an English language paper in Mexico City where she lived for 20 years. She also writes for several online and print publications as a freelancer. She heading next to Cancun to update some hotels and taking a Viking cruise and Portugal later in the year. Here's a little more about Pan Am: Training was intense. Flight attendants learned emergency procedures, but also fine wine service, etiquette, and international customs. Travel perks? Unreal. They globe-trotted to exotic places—Tokyo, Rome, Nairobi—on the company pass. It was freedom with a paycheck and ticket to see the world. Culture of prestige. Being a Pan Am stewardess was so iconic that Hollywood and Madison Avenue practically made them celebrities. And, we were welcomed around the world, Pilots as one author put it in the title of his book gods of the sky. Skygods: The Fall of Pan Am by Robert Gandt, which delves into the history and decline of Pan American World Airways. The term "Skygods" in the title refers to the airline's pilots, who were often regarded with a near-mythical status during the golden age of aviation. Pan Am captains were among the best-trained and best-paid in the world, often military veterans. They flew glamorous long-haul international routes on the cutting-edge Boeing 747—the “Queen of the Skies,” which Pan Am introduced in 1970. Headquarters in the Pan Am Building in New York was not just a based of international activity, the building was a landmark, sitting at 200 Park Avenue, directly above Grand Central Terminal, right in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. the Pan Am Building was one of the largest office buildings in the world and a...

Here's Travel With Annita's list of four islands, ready for your special trip - are you going solo, family, couples or with a group of friends. These four places—Little Corn Island (Nicaragua), Holbox (Mexico), Robinson Crusoe Island (Chile), and Edisto Island (South Carolina, USA)—are all off-the-radar gems with wildly different personalities. Here's a quick rundown of each: Get ready for your adventure with these off the beaten path islands. Little Corn Island, Nicaragua Vibe: Rustic Caribbean castaway fantasy No cars—you get around on foot or bicycle. Blissfully quiet. Pristine beaches, turquoise waters, and killer snorkeling/diving (especially at Blowing Rock). Electricity used to be spotty—still minimal but reliable enough for travelers now. Fresh lobster for under $10? Yes, please. Stay: Yemaya Reefs (luxury); Grace's Cool Spot (budget charm). Eat: Café Desideri (Italian/seafood fusion), Tranquilo Café (cocktails + chill vibe). Isla Holbox, Mexico Vibe: Boho beach with Instagram flair Famous for bioluminescent waters and swimming with whale sharks (May–September). No paved roads—golf carts and bikes only. Stunning murals, hammocks in the sea, and laid-back charm. Stay: Casa Las Tortugas (boutique luxe), Hotel Mawimbi (beachfront quiet). Eat: Roots for lobster pizza, Painapol for smoothie bowls. Heads-up: Sargassum seaweed rarely affects Holbox, unlike Cancun or Tulum. Robinson Crusoe Island, Chile Vibe: Wild, remote, and dramatic Part of the Juan Fernández Archipelago, 400 miles off the Chilean coast. Real-life inspiration for the Daniel Defoe novel, after sailor Alexander Selkirk was marooned there. Amazing hiking, endemic wildlife, and diving (especially shipwrecks). Only accessible by charter flight or boat—true off-grid adventure. Stay: Crusoe Island Lodge (eco-luxury), locals also offer homestays. Eat: Expect simple Chilean fare—fresh fish, goat cheese, and rustic island stews. Edisto Island, South Carolina Vibe: Southern charm meets coastal calm A quiet Lowcountry treasure—no chain restaurants, no crowds. Known for Loggerhead turtle nesting, live oaks, and moss-draped history. Visit Botany Bay Plantation, a surreal boneyard beach + historic preserve. Stay: The Club at Edisto (condos); VRBO beach houses are popular. Eat: Whaley’s (seafood shack charm), The SeaCow Eatery (Southern breakfast heaven). Ideal for kayaking, biking, beach combing, and pure unplugged peace. Each island gives you a different kind of escape—Holbox is trendy and photogenic, Little Corn is barefoot bohemian, Robinson Crusoe is an adventure novel come to life, and Edisto is southern soul with sea air. Take a listen to the show to hear how you can visit each one and make it your off the beaten path island adventure.
