Trip Comment 2
Firstly thanks to your staff in your office who helped me before I left for the trip. Also everyone connected with the tour was very professional and efficient. In particular our accompanying Sherpas who gave news year gifts to everyone. We formed a close bond with everyone in the group and came to look upon the group leader as a friend more than anything else.
