"... We returned from our wonderful honeymoon last week and thought we'd drop you a line to say a big THANK YOU for your perseverance last year in organizing it. The holiday had everything we wanted. We were really pleased with the service your company offered and have passed your details onto a few people we met when we were away. The itinery was just right ... and the journeys were always worth it...... "
