Darcy, We are home, jetlagged…..and so incredibly thankful for all of your help and planning. The trip was beyond all expectations – completely and totally fantastic. The preparations were invaluable, the guides were phenomenal, and the experiences that resulted were truly ‘once in a lifetime’. We’ll send more but wanted to send a quick note as soon as we arrived home….grazie!

Hi Darcy,Just a short note to tell you all is OK and everything is running like clockwork! Just as you planned! Florence was wonderful and the trip through the Vassari Corridor met all expectations. I invited the desk man at the hotel to accompany me, and he was thrilled! I have done everything suggested on your list of “to do” and it has been great! The hotel was fantastic, especially the roof top view from the Terrace. Left Florence, and took the train to Monterosso….wonderful, exciting trip looking out onto the Ligurian Sea in bits and pieces. Then the arrival! What fun walking down to the hotel. It is one of the best yet! Just fabulously decorated and the breakfast was up there with the San Pietro! I told the hotel staff the same and they were most pleased. I am on my way to Portovenere today, and then tomorrow on the train/boat to Portofino and SM! So I am trying to do it all, and walking/on my feet 7 to 8 hours a day.Thanks so much again for all you have done!

We loved the Du Lac!!! Great place and we hated to leave the lake! We are now in Venice and oh my…… directions, crowds, what a change. We will fill you in on all the rest when we return. Du Lac gets our kudos.Thanks for your help,
