Hi Larry & Joanie. I really do want to thank you both for making the last couple of nights in
NZ so very memorable. As you know we had been touring around and it was fun and interesting
visiting all the different Lodges and boutique hotels I had tirelessly selected, but only one
really stood out as the outstanding winner and you know, of course, it was you guys – we
really wished we had at least another night at your wonderful place and to spend another
evening in your fun company! Big kisses to you both! Tracy & Rob McVeigh – Hotel de Vigniamont,
Pezenas, France (12/08)
Joan & Larry – What a special place you have created. It’s not just the magnificent
furnishings and historic and beautiful home; it’s the warm, friendly, caring atmosphere that
you’ve both created. You are like the family we wish we had in an exotic foreign location. In
fact, that’s how you’ve made us feel…like family…so comfortable. Helene & Jerry Spiegel – New York City (02/08)
