New Retro Show: Pan Am

Did you watch on Sunday night?

What did you think? 

I loved the sets & costumes, the era details thrown in and the characters aren't bad ... (*in hushed tones* ... it's no Mad Men though, is it?)

I adore images of retro travel -- a time when people dressed up to travel and airlines included all the extras as a matter of travel. 
 Watch this space for great photos from the Air & Space Museum's current exhibit on air travel in the 1950's, my daughter and I fit in a trip to the Smithsonian museum before school started.
Come Fly With Me!

  1. enjoyed the show, especially the set and the lovely period costumes. i thought the plot/characters might be a little thin? hard to tell, i was finishing a book while watching, and i might've missed something.

    have a wonderful trip to london, can't wait to hear all about it.

  2. I watched the show too and have to agree with your friend Molly. Loved the setting and the costumes, but not sure about the story line. I will watch it again to see where it goes. Good music too.

  3. I missed the show, but I do remember when we dressed up to fly, and ate meals on trips that were 2 hour flights. That's a thing of the past now I'm afraid! Times have changed since my dad flew for Eastern Airlines!! We've gone to flip flops and a pack of peanuts (if we're lucky)! Thanks for the vintage images! xo Jina
