====================================== COMMENTS Dan, We are back in the UK now, (with the ashes!), but just wanted to say how pleased we were with the Whitsunday Magic 3 day/night island cruise and the Tuscana Village accomodation. The cruise was Absolutley brilliant and even exceeded our high expectations. All the crew were tremendously helpful and clearly enjoyed their work. Skipper Doug, with Marcus, Wendy, Phil, Gerard, were excellent and a special mention to Zane for the superb food and Jesse for his poems. They really couldn't have been more informative or supportive. A most memorable 3 days! Even our aussie relatives, Jan and Shane who had not visited Airlie or the Whitsundays before, have been raving about it and some of their pals are in the process of booking a trip. Toscana Village resort appartments also represented excellent value and the standard of the accomodation matched the superb views. Thanks again Dan for your excellent advice and local knowledge, plus the no fuss booking and prompt replies. Sorry if this sounds a bit over the top but we were genuinely delighted with our week in the Whitsundays. Cheers, Chris and Heather Moore. ps hopefully see you again in 18 months or so.
