The sites were outstanding, and many photos were taken of everything

Just a short note to give you an update on the trip. Great trip!!! Everything seemed to fit even if there were close timing on things. The sites were outstanding, and many photos were taken of everything. We didn't realize that the side trips were just about as great as the MAIN EVENT "MP". However, climbing the stairs (many stairs) is like lifting weights. Every step you are lifting your body weight to reach the next level. Wow, there are a lot of steps up when you add all the sites together. 

Holly and Neal did get a little "car" sick on the train particularly when you are sitting backward at things. So to solve the problem, they went back to the kabooze (last car) and sang with the music. The night return on the train went well because you couldn't see anything going by. 

Just a suggestion on the "small" group trips: with a bumpy road and the noise that is generated you can hardly hear the guide talking in the front seat. We switched her to the middle, and that helped some, but then the front seat people couldn't hear too well. I suggest that an inexpensive sound unit (portable type) be used with the small groups in the van. That would solve the problem of the road noise. The 2 guides were good and the coordinators meeting us and helping us at each new location, worked well. The driver of the van was very good, and we enjoyed his efforts. He is a "keeper." 

If possible, for others making this trip, add a little more time between the last two cities. Three flights in one day for us was a little tough besides adding extra time waiting in Los Angeles for late flights of 2 hours. BUT, it was ALL GOOD!

The skill of the builders in laying and fitting the stones is outstanding, and I doubt if today's builders could do as good using the tools like they had. The whole Sacred Valley is beautiful from start to finish with green fields and mountainsides contoured and growing all the various vegetables and food. Some of the growing areas would take 1/2 day just to climb up to the side of the mountain where it was growing before doing the work. 

Not to forget the hotels.... They turned out to be very good with good food as well. Friendly and very helpful, particularly, was the last one where we stored the suitcases until we had to leave to go to the airport. We used their system to download the boarding passes for our LA to Salt Lake City flights and Holly and Neal's return flights. Also, the "greeters" at the airport worked very well and they earned their money getting us through the gates and luggage areas with minimal delays. 

Well, we need to rest up before our next adventure. Thanks for all the help.
