Clio -
Thank you for all your help with our vacation planning. We had a fabulous time - even with my Dad's little side tour to the hospital.
We would like to send a letter of praise about our tour guide, Simon, to his boss. Can you tell me who to send it to?
Please tell Simon that we said hello and that he should hurry and get his own email account so we can keep in touch :)
Thanks again for all your help!
