I am still celebrating.....an amazing journey!

Sam's dedication and organizational skills made what seemed to be an impossible trip not only doable but one of my most memorable. A few days before my departure date, I broke my foot and ended up on crutches and an air cast for the next 6 weeks. Sam made sure essential assistance was available every step of the way.... even made last minute arrangements with a special spa retreat in a secluded village in Ethiopia! He is the best! Please...
