When I pull out my photos from the trip, I remember different submerged welcomed memories of things I saw, ate, heard, and… even smelled.  It was like nothing I have ever seen before. I appreciate the hard work you do to create a vacation that is great, even though much of your work is invisible to us in the audience.
