Hi Alan and Mirna,

We want to let you know what a wonderful vacation we’ve had so far! Everything and everyone has been so lovely. Max was patient and informative, made two special stops to show us sites others don’t typically see, and helped us understand and explore the lakes. We want to make special mention of how great Sonja and Tatjana were. Sonja kept us and our daughter engaged and interested throughout the walking tour, and she brought the history of Split and the palace alive in a way that made the tour fun and memorable. As our daughter said, we don’t usually take two-hour walking tours but Sonja made the time fly by. We could feel how much she loves what she does.

Today’s experience with Tatjana was outstanding — from shopping in the market with her, to the tour of Trogir she gave us, to cooking with her and then enjoying the food. She made us feel at home and taught us to cook some things we never imagined. Tatjana is a real treasure, a highlight of our trip that we will always remember.

We truly appreciate how thoughtful you’ve been in making arrangements. Sonja even took us to the Jewish synagogue, and Tatjana knew exactly what our kosher dietary requirements were. And everyone has been inquiring about Yael’s fall on the plane. (Aside from a bandaid on her chin, Yael is doing just fine, and enjoying everything we do.)

The Radisson Blu has been the perfect hotel for us. . .yesterday at the beach and now we head off to enjoy the pool.

We look forward to the rest of our trip and thank you so much for making it terrific so far.

Sara
