You have a first rate operation there. We
were especially impressed with the extras thrown in to make the
experience even better: sandwiches, soft drinks, fish cleaning (while
we relax and have dinner), and the pictures Alice took and put on
CD for us. Otherwise I wouldn't have any good pictures of my fish...that
Ryan! Doug,
Roylene and Ryan Dorius |
It
