[Travelandtourism] Besides seeing and learning the wonderful things on our trip

[cheryl echevarria]

We all had become really good friends and enjoyed each others company.
 
All of us feel blessed that even though our trip to the places that were posted on the originally flyer didn't go as planned, we still saw some many and did so many wonderful things, we all believe that having this kind of trip, was better than any strict to the schedule trip.
 
So being sighted or blind, we all enjoyed being with one another. That is also a reason to travel even know you may not see the other person or  the places in front of you, but that hearts of the people you are with was wonderful.
 
This is beautiful what Milton Taylor our Treasurer of the Division wrote about the trip.
 
Milton and wife Jo have become very close to myself and Nelson my husband, we hope you will come next year to Nashville and we can fill the same as we did this past week.
 
I call your friends because that's how I feel about all of you. I have been so blessed that our paths have crossed on the trip.  This was a special trip filled with joy, good times and wonderful memories.  I really believe we all are better because we took this trip.  The things we saw, heard and felt were wonderful but the friendships we created was even better.  Each one of our lives were blessed.  

To see everyone taking things in stride and being flexible was exciting.  Trips like this could be habit-forming.  As we share the exciting times of our trip with others more people will want to join us and feel the same thrill as we did on our trip.

I am filled with gratitude for the silent joy you all brought to my life.

Perhaps on future trips we may want to consider musical chairs (seats) on the bus and where we eat.  In this way we all might get to know everyone on the trip better.  

Truly this has been one of my favorite experiences with members of the travel and tourism division and our friends.  Anything we can do to enrich our lives and the lives of others is a positive thing.  

Once again thank you for caring enough to make a difference in your life as well as others.

Yes. This was a good choice for all of us.  Take care and God bless.

Adieu.
