My friend and I went to Copper Canyon<\/a> on February 24, 2009.\u00a0 Only now do I find the time to tell you what a wonderful this trip was.\u00a0For us this was the ideal way to travel.\u00a0You made all the arrangements and we did the rest.\u00a0The organization was absolutely flawless.\u00a0The hotels were great, especially the Torres del Fuerte<\/a> and, of course, the Hotel Mirador in Divisadero.\u00a0 You encouraged us to take 2 days there, and what a great idea that was.\u00a0Even though we were late arriving in Los Mochis, our taxi was waiting to drive us to\u00a0to El Fuerte.\u00a0My thought was, “this is the one thing I did not want to do, drive in the dark in Mexico.”\u00a0It turned out that the taxi driver was cautious and competent and put us both at ease. I think our favorite town was El Fuerte<\/a>.\u00a0It was great that we had 2 nights in several locations.\u00a0It made for relaxed traveling and a chance to really walk around.\u00a0The voucher system worked very well.\u00a0 We could chose wherever we wanted to eat and had the chance to sample several restaurants.<\/p>\n

A real treat is the fact that there were no TVs in all the hotels, except for one.\u00a0That was the Best Western in Creel.\u00a0We turned on the news and\u00a0 turned it off fairly quickly.\u00a0We were on vacation<\/a>!<\/p>\n

The train ride<\/a> was all we were hoping for.\u00a0Since we were only 2 people, we stayed most of the time in the bar car of the train, talked to many people and looked out of the big, clean windows.\u00a0We had a ball.\u00a0We\u00a0took the train to Divisadero, stayed there for 2 nights and went to Creel.\u00a0The ride from Creel to El Fuerte was just right.\u00a0I was glad we did not\u00a0stay\u00a0on the train any longer.<\/p>\n

I have read letters from your clients and all the good things they said about you were true for us.\u00a0It helps to speak Spanish<\/a> when you are on your own, but you made it very easy to get around.\u00a0In Batopilas<\/a> we ate at Mika’s.\u00a0Great stuff! Our driver Arturo told us\u00a0colorful stories about this magic town and made us feel less like tourists.<\/p>\n

We thank you very much and hope to hook up with you again.\u00a0Thanks for all your help.<\/p>\n
