Dear Roberta and Henry,
By the time you two return, I'm sure your mail box will be bursting with notes of praise and thanks for leading your group of artists on such a perfectly fabulous journey through Tuscany and Umbria … Truly Roberta, you must be the travel industry's best kept secret because once someone goes to Italy with you … they are spoiled forever. I know I am. It was an incredibly beautiful trip! Perfect in every way. I'm already looking forward to my next adventure in Italy with you.
The accommodations were wonderful and of course we all agreed … we didn't just eat … we "dined" (on some of the best food I've ever tasted). But most of all, I will never forget each and every small village and town we had an opportunity to visit. The lack of crowds and tourists, made it especially grand for all of us because we had an opportunity to see how the Italians really live (and they live quite well). Your enthusiasm and delight in taking us to these special places made it seem like it was the very first time you had been there yourself and it was hard to believe you've been doing these trips for 15 years. Each day was a "jewel" and perfectly planned.
My 12 rolls of film came out just fine, should have taken more but I doubt if the beauty of the country could ever be captured on film. I have enough material to keep me sketching and painting for a long time.
Truly, I can't tell you how much I enjoyed Glenn Vilppu. I can see why he's called the "guru of drawing." Although I live quite a distance away from his classroom, I will find a way to be part of one of his workshops in the future. He is an outstanding instructor.
And last of all … dear, dear Henry … you are the best detail man around (and your jokes are funny). You kept tabs on us all, made sure we had our passports, stayed on time and saw to it that we all made the right connections for our destinations. We appreciated every single thing you did. Since I'm kind of a nervous traveler and not that experienced with airports, your presence was extremely reassuring to me.
I could go on and on but I think you get the idea … I was just thrilled with everything. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'll look forward to joining you again."
