"I loved so much of this trip. I will always remember it. The staff was kind and wonderful. The food was great. The location was amazing. And the camaraderie and support to each other was what I’ve learned to expect from this kind of group, especially women. I feel grateful and good about being part of this experience. It will be one of the significant ones in my life. "
