                                    Dear 
                                    Dave, 
                                      
                                    
                                    Every natural 
                                    disaster that happens around the world makes 
                                    us appreciate our own good fortune.  These 
                                    disasters that can affect thousands or 
                                    millions of people may also encourage many 
                                    of us to open our wallets (as we are able) 
                                    to give to the charities of our choice, to 
                                    alleviate the suffering of those affected.  
                                    I can imagine that many of our thoughts and 
                                    prayers are currently with the people of 
                                    Nepal, still reeling from the devastating 
                                    earthquake, aftershocks and avalanches. 
                                     
                                    In any 
                                    destination (vacation or otherwise), there 
                                    are people who are much less fortunate that 
                                    we are.  Not surprisingly, all of our 
                                    clients contribute a lot to charities in 
                                    their local communities in Mexico and 
                                    Hawaii.  Knowing this can make our mutual 
                                    clients feel even better about their 
                                    vacation spending, when they know that part 
                                    of their vacation money is going to do some 
                                    good for local people or environment.  Enjoy
