Our sincere thanks for your kindness and help. You have helped us to understand and appreciate a little more both ancient and modern China!"

"We have just returned from our trip to Tibet and Nepal. It was even more fantastic than we had hoped. Our thanks and appreciation.

Our guide and driver were excellent and dedicated. The vehicle was as stout and strong as Toyota ever made; it is amazing that a car can go where this car went and in such safety. Hats off to Toyota and Dorgi (spelling) our driver.

We have zero complaints about anything; only praise. The hotel on the Tibet/Nepal border was a little ratty, but by then, so were we. All other accomodations were far, far better than we anticipated, and everyone was kind and gracious. No unfriendly people were ever encountered except some overly aggresive vendors on the sidewalks of Lhasa outside our hotel. Aggresive but benign. Americans may not be used to it, is all.

I would love to return to Tibet for the New Year celebration in Lhasa. Are such excursions anticipated by your firm?

Everest was my highlight. My 55th birthday was spent atop a hillock placing prayer flags for my family. A Christian and his prayer flags!

Nepal was also fascinating, but chokingly pollluted. The tour guides there and transportation were excellent, and I shall never forget a minute of the constant surprises and enchantment of the entirety of our adventure.

Thank you. It was the "wow" of my life. Feel free to publish this as and if you see fit."
