Letters To The Editor Dear Editor, Please send a “thank you” on to one of your writers, Lillian Africano. I read her article about her train trip on the Rocky Mountaineer and I was so inspired, that I have booked a trip as a surprise anniversary gift for my husband. The photos were incredible and her description of the trip, along with the food and the views clicked with me. It is something my husband and I have always wanted to do, and the article moved me enough to finally make it all a reality. Your magazine covers so many wonderful places, it makes it tough to decide where to go next. Marie T.

Dear Editor, I’m looking for the article that was about the woman who is involved with booking space travel. I remember her name was Pamela, but I don’t recall her last name, or which issue it was in. Thank you advance for your help! Richard, Burgundy, France Dear Richard, Maralyn D. Hill Executive Editor The article you’re referencing is “Meet Travel Titan Pamela Hurley-Moser” and it ran in the June 2014 issue of Luxe Beat Magazine. As someone who does a lot of travel research, I couldn’t wait to interview travel titan, Pamela Hurley-Moser... after hearing about her, I knew I had to meet her.
