“[Our leader] Gary added so much more to the trip than just discussion leading, Gary and [our other tour leader Scott] were endlessly polite, full of knowledge, and helpful at keeping track of the group, handling arrangements, assisting with luggage and other practicalities, and more.”

Melanie is excellent, not just as discussion leader and moderator, but also in many areas above and beyond that role: facilitator, mother hen, liaison with local resources, chief cat-herder, logistics genius, perennial friendly face.

I’m so happy to have participated in this oh so full, rich week […] and intend to sign up every year from now on. I would certainly encourage, all who are able to sign up for this rare learning experience.
