Thanks for your perspective. I understand just what you mean about one in a lifetime and if you love to travel there never is really a once in a lifetime. I find the first trip is really a preview of what I thought I might like with a few experiences I hadn't considered and then the next trip starts off from there. There are very few places we wouldn't return to as we have gotten better in determining what will make a great travel experience for us.

I am doing a lot of research before I start to work with anyone as you suggest since I realize there is much moreto do than the time we have and don't want to spend all of the time transferring from place to place. I am building a list of must dos and trying to work around that. I know this time will be a sampler for the next time.
