| Well, we survived the wonderful Australia trip. You did a great job on the
tours, for the most part. We loved the hotel in Sydney, being able to see the
Opera house and the Bridge frm the rooftop pool, OMG. There was a street fair
right outside our window for 2 days. So much browsing and sightseeing within
walking distance. We walked to the Opera house and all around the Circular
Quay and Botanical gardens. We did not climb up the bridge!!
The hotel in Cairnes with the Lagoon right out side our door, the casino, the
shops and the waterfront...perfect!! Snorkeling on the reef was phenomenal.
The Daintree rainforest, river and gorge tour was a day well spent. The
guide,
Daniel, was very informative and the BBQ was very tasty and relaxing.
The trip to Ayers Rock was a little hurried, my fault for putting time
restrictions on you for the length of the trip. Howver, the Sounds of
Silence,
sunset and sunrise were breathtaking. The only part of the whole trip I really
didn't like was the bus ride, 6 1/2 hours, from Ayers Rock to Alice Springs.
The tour in Alice Springs was not the highlight of the trip. I would have
liked to go to King's Canyon or to the mountains around. They looked like they
were beautiful up close.
The hotel in Adelaide, Breakfree on Hindley, was a great room in a very poor
place. There was no where to go for a walk or to sight see. The staff at the
hotel and the ameneties were first class. Kangaroo Island is an absolute
must for anybody going to Australia. The tour, the sights, the hotel, the food,
wine, all perfect. I am glad you put us on the 2 day tour, we would have
missed so much in only 1 day. As it turned out, we were the only 2 people on
the tour bus, so our guide, also a Daniel, took us to some extra places
because he wasn't marshalling 60 people around.
We had the greatest time in Melbourne. The city sights tour actually wasn't
necessary because they have a free shuttle bus, with comentary that takes you
to all of the places they do, but, you can get off, spend time where you want,
not where the tour wants. We went all over the city to the huge Victoria
Market and found all kinds of sights that were not even mentioned during the
city tour. Did you know that the hotel, also in a great place for walking and
sightseeing, is right beside the Eureka Tower that has the Skywalk? We didn't
even realize it until the day we left!!
All in all, this was a trip of a life time. You did a great job setting it up
and keeping it within our time reatraint. We will. of course have to return,
and you will be the person I get to help plan it. We could never have gotten
all we did if it weren't for your ability to shop through a wholesaler. I
know how much some of those tours and shuttle pickups and flights were from
brochures and from others we met along the way. Armed with a little bit of
knowledge, the next trip will cover some oft he areas we missed, and revisit
those we like best. Thank you again for such a vacation, we a re the envy of
all who know us. Hope the engagement and trip for you and your fiance went
well. I wish you the best, and will be contacting you again in the future.
Thankful to be home, exhausted and thrilled,
Brenda and Edwin C. |
| Just wanted to express our gratitude to you for helping us to ensure our
vacation reservations for Maui.
We had a blast, and it was just as beautiful as you said it was. The Whaler
was wonderful, and I am very pleased we chose that particular accommodation.
I appreciate ALL the emails, the different choices provided, and the words of
experience you offered.
Again, it was awesome. I have already referred you to two different people. I
am thankful for all you did.
