Argentina February 2008
Gosh, its cold here!
Arrived back last night. Looked at the photos on the CD and watched the DVD of Iguacu. Looking out the office window over the top of the PC this morning, nothing has changed. Seems like it was all a dream- but a wonderful dream. Thank you for putting together a fantastic trip. Best wishes.

Did not get to say good-bye and whats more thank you for an incredible trip. What a country and with your organisation, we were able to enjoy 4 completely different parts of it, each one more spectacular - if that is possible - than the last. Not sure what you can possibly arrange for an encore!
And now I shall enjoy sorting out the photos for an album. What memories I have now stored up and all thanks to you both. Many, many thanks for letting me join this FAMILY in the first place.
With love and until the next time.

I have to say a big thank you to you both. I was sceptical about Argentina and Liz convinced me to come. I have already bored anyone who will listen to my amazing journey. From the shopping in Buenos Aries for my shopaholic daughter in law to the iceburgs for my geophysic son. The falls and as always the companionship and FUN. Llao Llao was as Mike predicted, quite beautiful. So where next - I shall keep an eye on the web site.

Berlin March 2007
Thank you for arranging such an interesting trip to Berlin, with your customary flair & efficiency. I learned a lot
about Berlin, and it was good to met up with old friends again.
Dr J, Northwood
Berlin suprassed our expectations, particularly the splendid hotel and the excellent and informative guides. As always it
was an enormous pleasure to see so many old friends and we are already loking forward to future conferences.

I wanted to write to thank you and Ian once again for all your efforts in organising another enjoyable, informative and successful conference. It all works so smoothly that one just knows there has been a lot of time and effort expended in the background.

Rajasthan Oct 2006
Just wanted to let you know that of all the travelling I have done and of all the conferences I have attended India is the best ever.
You really outdid yourselves with this trip. I will have the memories for the rest of my life to warm up to on a cold Icelandic winter
night
Dr A. S. - Iceland
This must be among the zillions of "thankyous" you must be receiving - it was SUCH a well organised trip, with so much packed into so short a time. I cannot believe everything that we did, and the hotels were fabulous - and a very welcome haven in India! Thank
you both for keeping so cheerful and upbeat, with so many of us to look after. We thought it went extremely well and had a wonderful time. It was lovely to meet some old friends and to make some new.
Dr & Mrs M. - Guernsey

Thank you for a great trip! It was a memorable

Vietnam & Cambodia 2004
"Just a quick note to thank Ian and yourself so much for the fantastic
course in Hanoi, Danang and Saigon - I really had a marvellous time,
the course was most stimulating and useful for CPD / Portfolio and
the tours and hotels really sumptuous and refreshing.
Thank you both for all your hard work and I will be in touch in due
course for another outing!"
Dr J.H.
"Normally when we have been back a week the
memories of the conference seem to be fading but in the case of Vietnam & Cambodia
they are as strong as ever. With such a friendly group of people and
these wonderful countries and hotels the thoughts of the sights, food
and camaraderie are very pleasing."
Mrs A.T.
"Anyway may I take this opportunity to thank
you and Ian sincerely for a really wonderful memorable trip. I could
not have wished for a nicer company if I had it designer made!"

organised."

Mauritius Feb 2002
"
Lizzie and I had a really memorable time,
meeting so many really nice & interesting people and making some genuine
new friends, yourselves included I hope. I am also far less cynical about
the educational value of such a course, both the content and the conversations
were highly stimulating. I hope our paths cross again."
Peter Tate, Oxfordordshire
Mexico November 2001
"
Important message from Elsie and John
- we loved every moment of our Holiday in Mexico with the incomparable Ian
and Shirley - you were spudendous fantasmagorical and other epithets and
in addition we came with you because we had experienced the delights of
Anne and Michael in India and fell in love with Conference Plus we fully
intend to continue to come with all 4 of you every chance we get until either
you or us die or we run out of money!? (I think thats a pretty good
unsolicited testimonial!)."
lots of love John & Elsie Palmer

two things to say. First, the immense
value the 3 conferences Plus Courses have been to me (and to Pat) in lots
of ways. You well and truly live up to your aims and this was especially
valuable to a reternee to General Practice. I think the sheer enthusiasm
and hard work you bring in order to reach your goal - well and truly - turns
up trumps again and again"
