What would you call a trip to Quebec City; Bluie West Eight, Greenland; Reykjavik, Iceland; Stravanger, Norway; Amsterdam; Cannes on the French Riviera; Ljubljana, Slovenia; Salzburg, Austria; Lucerne, Switzerland; Tallinn, Estonia; Stockholm; and Edinburgh, Scotland? A trip of a lifetime? What if it were in a private jet? How about if you were the copilot, invited by the owner and his wife? What if, for good measure, these ridiculously generous people invited your wife to come along too? What would you call all that? Never mind the helicopter ride to the vineyard in Cotes de Provence and the private Mozart dinner in Salzburg. Just the flying bit is all we have time to contemplate here.
