It wasn't an "blatent advertising email" -- it was in recognition of
something that happened that was very positive in our lives for a change
and the people and places who helped make it so. I find that too many
things today are negative or there is a catch or it doesn't turn out as
planned, anticipated or expected. For me it was great to get away without
hassles and unexpected surprises or having to fight for or be disappointed
in something promised. My sole purpose in sharing our weekend experience
was to hopefully let others know that there are people and places out there
where one can find peace, respect, tranquillity and relaxation in this very
self centered, greedy, ever-changing, ever-demanding world.
