Thank you, Joyce! I enjoyed spending the week with you and am so glad to hear that you loved the villa, the chef dinners and cooking class. I especially enjoyed celebrating your birthday with you! You were fun to be around and easy to travel with. I miss seeing you and the other women sipping wine and laughing under the pergola.

Thank you, Suzanne! I truly enjoyed meeting you and getting to know you better during our time together. I especially enjoyed watching the awe and wonder in your eyes as each experience got better and better. I will miss our time together and our delicious meals that Caterina and Eduardo provided to us! I look forward to traveling with you again in the future.

Cyndi, I appreciate your very kind words, and it makes me so happy to hear that you felt this way! Wow! You were also a wonderful guest! I truly enjoyed being with you and getting to know you. I am so grateful to Sue Danuser for connecting all of us for this very special week together. Can it get better this? I don't know, but I will certainly try for our next retreat together!

Kathee, thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your week with me! I know you are a seasoned traveler so for you to say you haven't experienced this before truly makes me so incredibly happy! I look forward to traveling again with you too and am so excited to plan the next retreat for you and your group!

Sheri, thanks for sharing that you learned about pizza making and that the pizza was delicious, which was our goal for this particular event. I also appreciate your thoughtful recommendations to improve the event in the future. We will consider all of your suggestions for the next class, especially reducing the class size to 10 max. We have also considered adding an additional helper. The snacks are a good idea and maybe we can make a few pizzas in advance for guests to nibble on at the beginning. We appreciate you joining us for our event and helping us make it even better.
