What are people saying about this trip?
Not enough space to write about how amazing this trip was on so many levels! The level of organization and excellent communication from the beginning, throughout the trip, until the last minute of disembarking (and now a survey), was phenomenal and impressive. I cannot thank Mr. Olin and all the others who made this trip happen enough for giving my daughter a trip she will remember fondly forever. What an opportunity. Thank you!
Awesome organization, awesome trip!!
We celebrate the organization details displayed by the Trip Leadership. Clear expectations set the stage for a coordinated harmonic response from all the participants.
