Dear Dave,
It's time for us to take a
few weeks off. We are
excited about a British
Isles cruise that we booked
with our travel agent almost
a year ago. We are
definitely looking forward
to some "tastes of summer"
on this itinerary.
Gustavo was able to enjoy
some "tastes of summer" on
our PVR FAM in June at the
Hacienda by Hilton.
In my absence, you can use
the following contacts for
our accounts:
(808) 268- 9828
(403) 477-7733
Enjoy some tastes of summer
from our accounts!
