and the presentation was beautiful. David also made great "Happy Hour" Cocktails!
It was a once in a lifetime trip that far exceded our expectations
David and Dawn were very accommodating and were true professionals. They changed our original route that we had discussed to make sure we were able to watch my Chiefs win the Super Bowl back on Tortola and still get to all of the original stops we wanted.
I think everyday I said This is the prettiest beach/bay I have ever seen What a wonderful trip, I will remember it for the rest of my life. The food was great, the views were great and David and Dawn were even better. Thanks for such a wonderful trip.
