We're back! And we had a fantastic time!! Everything went so smoothly, we were well taken care of, and we had the time of our lives. Thank you so much!! Seeing the itinerary on paper is one thing - experiencing it is something else! It was hard to soak it all in, but we did a pretty good job. We were pinching ourselves the entire trip to make sure we were really there. Thanks again for all you did. Memories were our goal, and that goal was met in a big way!
