Laurels

Just a quick note for all the parents out there: our tour guides will not stop gushing about how wonderful your kids are! Both of our main guides, but especially this one in Italy, can't stop singing their praises. How kind, how polite, how well educated, how cultured, how passionate, how sweet, how fun, how good natured, what good eaters, and of course, how punctual! They have been on time or early to a fault (well, with one notable exception!). 

And I will tell you, Christine and I can't stop gushing either. This group of 15 has been SUCH a pleasure to travel with, truly. We have laughed much and worried little. They've had great attitudes and been in great spirits, even when tired an hungry. They have been nothing but polite, kind, and interested, and we have enjoyed being their in loco parentis for 10 days so much! Give yourselves a pat on the back, and give your bambino one too when they return!
