I want to thank you very much for the wonderful vacation. All the arrangements were very good. Tour Guide was excellent. I am sure I will be contacting you again for our next years vacation. We also thank you for taking care of the necessary refund for the services in Cape Town which we could not do due to very bad weather. Again thanks for all the arrangements and we appreciate all. The dinner arrangements were the ones that I was concerned about, but they turned out to be very good. As usual if you want to use my name for reference please free to do so. Thanks, Hasmukh.
