Hello Lucie,

Hope you had a wonderful weekend.

We would like to greatly applaud you and your trio. Working with you was so efficient and seamless. The Trio was a highlight of the evening, and our guests (some of the top travel agents from USA) were very very very happy with their performance. So happy, they gave them a standing ovation at the end!

Looking forward to working with you again in the future.

Thank you,
