Dear Judy and Maria,

I'm sorry it's taken me two months to write, but the WONDERFUL trip you planned for us still lingers so fresh in my mind that I just haven't felt like I've gotten back to the "real world" yet (which is a very good thing).  I was just browsing through some of our pictures from our trip and it finally hit me that I should take a moment and thank the two people who are responsible for truly the GREATEST family vacation we have ever had!!

I don't even know where to start.  From the time I placed my first call to request some information about planning an "economical, but luxurious" trip for a family of 6 (with children's ages ranging from 4 to 15), I have never had quite the exceptional service and terrific attention to detail to every aspect of a vacation.

I read some where once that of all childhood memories, some of the greatest are of family vacations.  Some times this may be because of the horrific situations that occur (lost luggage, cheap/dirty hotel rooms, miserable service, etc.) that seem to stick in a young child's mind, but also they can be some of the fondest, if the trip goes well.  The later is definitely the case with our trip.  I can't believe (and though I don't want to say I doubted you) you were able to find the PERFECT vacation spot for us.

Everything was simply beautiful.  All the information you gave us had us anticipating a fabulous vacation, but once we got to Mexico and to our all-inclusive hotel that you recommended, our expectations were nothing in comparison to the terrific trip we all had!!  You took care of all the details and we simply had to show up and enjoy ourselves -- and we definitely did!

As the mom of four, 2 little ones and 2 teenagers, planning a family trip isn't always a picnic.  It seems that you have to try and remember so many details, take care of so many arrangements, and inevitably forget a few important plans, that by the time you get to your vacation destination, you're exhausted or you just want the whole thing to be over, so that you can get back to normal.

Well nothing could be further from the truth with our vacation through you.  I talked to you briefly, you got all the information that we wanted our trip to be like, called back the same day and gave us some unbelievable options.  I kept thinking "something's going to go wrong."  And any time I called you concerned, you would just calmly say, "Don't worry, everything's going to be fine.  I already took care of that."  And boy, you sure did!!

We simply had the time of our lives.  Every one of us has nothing but fond memories of our trip!!  Thanks to you, you have created hopefully what will become some of our four children's (not to mention my husband's and mine) fondest memories that we will always cherish.

We can't thank you enough!!  If anyone wants to have a stress-free vacation experience, they should definitely call you.  I know I always will!!

Thanks for everything!!

Sincerely,
Karen and Mark Tracy (and the kids, too!)
