My friends and I play a travel game we call Swoon. The rules are simple:
Choose a storied locale from a particular moment in the past 50 years,
and the place that earns the most "aaah's" wins. Someone
invariably picks St.-Tropez circa 1955, or Ubud in the seventies.
Precharter flight Ibiza. PostCold War Prague. Such places are the
geographical equivalents of Truman Capote's Black and White Ball or
Manchester's Hacienda Club: that perfect confluence of location and
time—before the rest of the world arrived, before the inevitable Wild On! specials on E! Think of Bahia in the sixties, Saigon in the nineties, or Tan-gier in Paul Bowles's day.
