PARTICIPANT'S "Lasting Images of Italy."

 During this past June I had the pleasure of participating in a "tour" organized by Roberta Kritzia of  "Personalized Travel." The name of her company is very appropriate since the "tour" doesn't really feel like a tour but a "personal" group of new friends traveling together.

During this 10 day tour we stayed in Lucca, Lake Maggiore, and Venice. Roberta selected small, quaint and intimate hotels, excellent restaurants and day trips.

Roberta and Henry were able to "personalize" the tour by responding to participant's questions, suggestions and concerns with ease. Even though this trip focused on artists with Glenn Vilppu as the instructor, I, being one of the few non-artists, found this trip to be very delightful and exciting. I was free to participate with the artists as they went to different locations or to go off on my own or with Roberta. The artists are wonderful people and, as an educator myself, I found Glenn to be an excellent instructor by the manner in which he taught, demonstrated and provided feedback to his students. It was fun watching him.

This trip was very memorable for me and will set the standard by which I will measure all other future tours in which I participate. I loved it!!!"
