Carol Etheridge		Comments from past travelers gggggggg “What a beautiful experience and a truly beautiful and friendly country.” “I would recommend this adventure to anyone, and especially the first time traveler abroad.” “I had very high expectations and I can say that every one them was exceeded!” gggggggg
	Mary and Dan Dennis -Altadena, CA “Carol did a wonderful job of planning each day’s activities so that there was plenty to do and also plenty of time to just relax. The hotels we stayed in were beautiful and very comfortable, the staff friendly and helpful. We ate too much, drank too much and laughed too much. We had so many perfect days we lost count. What more could we ask for. Most people ask, “Would you do it again”?  Absolutely!” Judy Baughin -Cincinnati, OH “What a fantastic trip we had in September. Everything was so well organized--we did not have to worry about a thing. There were so many interesting sites to see and visit. The hotels were great and the meals delicious.” Leslie Kahn -Sarasota, FL “I had such a good time on my first trip in June 2006 that I went again in June 2007! The groups that I traveled with were compatible and fun to be with. They were small enough so that we didn't feel herded around. Both Carol and her partner are such terrific people it would be hard to not enjoy being with them! The activities were all the things that I wanted to do and I enjoyed them all.” Jeanne LaCasse -Chicago, IL “I took the Best of France September trip & am still reminiscing about the marvelous experience. One of my concerns when I signed up for the trip was the fact that dinner was going to be at the Villa Glanum every night. In retrospect, that was a blessing. After a day of touring, many of us would congregate at the pool bringing along bottles of wine, bread, cheese, olives & tapenades for a little social hour, slip back to our rooms to freshen up for dinner & enjoy the rest of the evening without having to worry about where to have dinner, transportation, reservations, etc. As a result, we really bonded as a group making the tour all the more enjoyable.” Lori Michaels –Sarasota, FL “The Best of France Travels tour of the south of France was the most wonderful vacation I have taken in years.  Carol was an outstanding guide and there wasn't one single thing I can think of that I would have liked to have done that she didn't already have planned. The meals that the inn provided were absolutely delicious and portions of such generosity that I never could finish it all.  Veal, beef, chicken, pasta, lamb, vegetables/salads prior to, and dessert following; incredible desserts! The inn was adorable, extremely well preserved and clean - you realize that the inn was a place that Van Gogh would visit to see his friend.”
	ggggggg “The problem for people visiting Provence is what to see….should you search out the tiny villages perched upon craggy cliffs, or visit the brightly colored harbors with their fishing boats….or sit on a café terrace and admire the vividly painted shutters and window boxes spilling over with flowers.” (Provence by Biovanna Magi) ggggggg
