The holiday itself was superb and I think we really saw a lot of both Eastern and Western Canada. I wouldhave no hesitation in suggesting that American Holidays should consider including the 3-week Canadianatour in your next years brochure rather than the two-week trip. The pace was just right with lots of 2-daystops, the hotels were really excellent and the package also included a number of outings and finaldinners which were optional in the two week tour and overall was excellent value. On a no. of occasionsduring the trip, we said that we were really glad that we had taken the 3-week tour. Thanks again for your really helpful attention and service. If American Holidays want any more detailedcustomer feedback about this particular tour at any stage, I would be more than happy to provide it.I'll be back in to talk to you about another trip to the mid-West/West of the States. Best RegardsMichael and Margaret Barrett
