My spouse and I wanted to go on a second honeymoon, which we humorously called our "honeymoon in old age." Along the way, we met wonderful, kind-hearted people, saw beautiful places, and enjoyed delicious meals. The hotels were always comfortable and cozy. We were just as happy and excited on the last day of the tour as we were on the first. Thank you so much for everything!
