It was in one word a very successful trip, mainly thanks to your good organization–that is the bottom line. The most admired aspect of the tour was how flexible, liberal, and generous things turned out to be on the ground than the hard-line rules and regulations we had been communicating about! Do you remember my request that at least water be part of the dinners at our hotels for greater psychological effect and you said that could not be or that we each would have a quota of two people per bottle or something like that? Not only did we not pay anything in any hotel for water or any non-alcoholic beverages but, we got treated to all kinds of goodies all along the tour. The one item that could possibly be improved is to try to find if some of the provincial hotels can serve beer and wine- Western travelers, after a hard day enjoy that- for example, surely Annaba would have such a hotel…

And it was a pleasure to work with you, Kevin… Thank you for your goodwill and efforts.
