To Charlotte Barnes,
The holiday was absoutely fantastic, you did a brilliant job of organising everything. All the hotel bookings, car hire and airline bookings were spot on - all hotels clean, comfy and in ideal locations.
The wedding day went smoothly - the hairdressing appointements, the limo, church, flowers, dinner at Venetian & the show afterwards went all to plan, (would definitely recommend going to see the Legends show at The Imperial Hotel).
All in all it was the holiday of a lifetime, your companies attention to detail, such as the welcome pack, maps and printed out routes etc.for our journeys was so helpful and so organised,I could never have planned this myself!
So thanks once again, you made ours a wedding and holiday to remember for years to come!
Kind Regards,
Alanna Ramponi
To all concerned ……
A massive thank you for the fantastic CNA Western holiday we have just completed! It was the holiday of a lifetime and I coudn’t fault a single thing. Your attention to detail was first class and it took away all the hassle and worry of where to stay, what to do, how to get there, car hire …. etc.
The hotels were all superb and our upgrade to the Renaissance in LA was a lovely way to finish off our holiday.
I have looked at the flights and accommodation since coming home and no way could we begin to match the brilliant price you offered. I have recommended you to friends and we will definitely be travelling with you again in the hopefully not too distant future!
Once agan thank you for making our holiday such a fantastic and hassle free one!
Best wishes
Christine
I had to write & thank you very much for our fabulous holiday to the states, it truly was the best holiday we have ever taken. Everything from the car hire to the accommodation to the chosen places was superb, our favourite moment was the helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon, fabulous!

hi, just a little email to say thank you to all of the help and assistance in relation to the planning of our honeymoon to America, we had an amazing time and all of the maps, hotels etc were great.
Thanks again, Gillian & Graham
Good Morning
Time has passed since our holiday but it has been on my mind to get in touch, finger and keyboard finally meet !
On behalf of Karen and I, I would like to thank you sincerely for the work you did setting up our holiday, with the exception of Hertz, who were initially a pain in the neck everything went really well indeed. The hotels were absolutely fine, most times we had a corner room which meant it was bigger or just out of the way a bit from the main corridor ‘run’.
The distances travelled were no worry and we did a few ‘excursions’ en route like Palm springs cable car, Joshua National Park, Carmel’s 17 mile drive, Point Lobos and a few others. I did buy an upgrade chip for my satnav which was a real bonus, obviously it helped with the navigation but the main reason was so we could judge travel times and go off the beaten track without arriving too late at the hotels. For your interest the last hotel was the only one that could be described as a bit shabby although we did note they are having a refit very soon.
In a nutshell thank you very much we will recommend you to our friends and ‘funds’ dependant we could well do something again with you next year. If you have any mailings associated with Canada or other areas of the USA over the coming months email or surface mail them to me.
Kindest regards
Bill & Karen

Just returned from an excellent trip. Everything worked smoothly apart from the chaos at LAX. I think the Argonaut at san francisco is a great hotel with the free wine at 5.00pm particularly relaxing. It is a superb location with the cable car about 100 yards away which we used to sit by with our early morning coffee. The house at lake tahoe was also great and surprisingly the Beverly hilton was also a success .The other hotels were also very good.
Hertz couldnt seem to find us our minivan so we had a upgrade to a GMC Yukon a 8 person 5.4L monster vehicle. This was much bigger than the ford Expedition you hired next last year . Hope to speak to you soon.
Thanks for all your hard work

Just thought I would drop you a line to say thanks for a fantastic holiday. We’ve just returned from the CNA Western and have had the best holiday of our lives. The flights, hotels and hire car were great and everything ran smoothly. The itinerary and suggested detours were very well put together which helped us get the most out of the travelling days. We have already recommended you to several of our friends! Just a shame I’m now back at work. The revised hotel we had for Lake Havasu (Hampton Inn) was fantastic. The Luxor was OK although the check in queues were unbelievable. After the beauty of Yosemite and Death Valley, we decided Vegas wasn’t quite our thing!
My wife and I have just returned from a holiday to Las Vegas,Grand Canyon and the Hoover Dam arranged by yourselves. Every part of the trip went as smooth as silk,from flights, hotel bookings and car hire.The occasion was our 40th wedding anniversary and you and your company helped make it a memorable one. I would not hesitate to use you again and would certainly recommend you.

My wife and I have just returned from our first visit to America. We toured from San Francisco to Los Angeles via Carmel, Yosemete, Death Valley, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon and Lake Havasu. We had a wonderful holiday with every thing going smoothly. A problem with our hire car at Grand Canyon was dealt with within hours by Hertz, who paid for taxis for us to continue our sightseeing without inconvenience. In short, a memorable holiday and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to others

We have just returned from our California trip and would like to say a very big thank you. We had the most wonderful time and this was made possible by the careful attention to detail in your organisation of the itinerary and all your help and advice when planning it. As far as the BA flights were concerned, our outbound trip was a good experience and the extra cost of the World Traveller Plus seats was definitely worthwhile. We won’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone we know planning a USA trip.

We would like to thank your company for arranging our itinerary on our recent holiday to California. The holiday went like a dream and all the hotel bookings car hire and airline bookings went well. We made some bookings also for shows, helicopter ride and restaurants etc which added to the enjoyment of the holiday. On the second day of our arrival in San Francisco we arranged from the Hotel Adagio to be met by a greeter which enlightened our stay in S.F. We will certainly recommend your company to our friends and relatives and would have no hesitation using your company again Once again thank you.
Geoffrey & Joyce
Thank you for arranging such a memorable holiday for us. We would certainly recommend driving the 2000 miles of the fantastic CNA Western Flydrive Tour. We certainly left our hearts in San Francisco, and the National Parks of Yosemite, Death Valley, Grand Canyon, and Joshua Tree, to coin an American phrase, really are Awesome.
Due to the rock fall on Route 140, the detour along Route 41, gave us the most spectacular introduction to the Yosemite Valley. It was a sight that I shall never forget. In addition the contrast from the lush Yosemite at 9500 ft above sea level and a balmy 55F, to an arid Death Valley, 250ft below sea level and 120F in the shade on the same day was amazing We would also recommend using the Golden Gate Greeter programme, in San Francisco. This service is provided free and gives you a personalised 2 to 4 hour tour tailored to your specific interests; see the Adagio Hotel website for details. Although we were disappointed that our hired SUV was not available when we went to collect it, after negotiating we left San Francisco in high spirits a black Hummer with tinted windows! We will use CNA again.

We wanted to thank you for all your efforts in arranging our holiday this year - or, rather our five-holidays-in-one… we went from 121 degrees in Death Valley to the ski slopes of Mammoth Mountain (in the same day); contrasted hot, glitzy Las Vegas with cool (literally!) and laid-back San Francisco; and, of course, Yosemite is almost indescribably beautiful at this time of year. All the arrangements -flights, cars, hotels, excursions - went like clockwork and met our requirements perfectly. As the ‘govenator’ would say, “We’ll be back!”
Alan & Margaret
We have returned from our holiday on Tuesday and would like to thank you for a lovely holiday. The jet lag is now receding into the distance!
Everything went to plan and the organisation was second to none! We enjoyed San Francisco, had a ride on the famous trams etc. After 3 nights were ready to move on.
Carmel was lovely. Did not call at Monterey, but went straight to Carmel and found a lovely beach to chill out on. Decided to move there if I win the lottery!
Yosemite was brilliant. Such a beautiful place. The scenery was breathtaking! When we went out on to our balcony and saw the river, it was brilliant, except there had been a late snowfall in May, and the snow had started to thaw which meant the river was now rushing by as a noisy torrent, but we still thought it was lovely.
Our next stop at Death Valley was enjoyed by Jeff, but left me feeling a bit sun burnt to say the least. Wow, never felt heat like it.
Wendy and I really enjoyed Vegas. Jeff just does not do shopping, can’ think why!!
When we arrived at the Grand Canyon, and took our first glimpse of the canyon when we arrived at the hotel, the heat of Death Valley and Jeff’s shopping trauma was forgotten and the tranquil beauty was worth every penny!! The helicopter ride over the canyon was so exciting. So glad we did that! Spent all afternoon up until 9pm in the swimming pool at Lake Havasu! It was OK as a stopover, but when we set off to go Los Angeles, we saw some lovely sights at the quiet part of that area.
Loved Los Angeles! Went to Hollywood Boulevard in the morning and spent the rest of the day at Universal studios. Did not get back to the hotel until 10.00pm! The hotel was brilliant and we could see the ‘famous Hollywood sign’ out of our bedroom window!
We would like to go back to Carmel, Yosemite, Grand Canyon and Los Angeles! I bought a map of America and will be looking at where else we can visit on our next trip!
Got lots of lovely photos. Once again, many thanks for all your help!
Betty, Jeff and Wendy

Just writing to let you know that we had a great holiday. Everything went according to plan. Flights all on time and car journeys went according to plan. Tenaya Lodge and the Bellagio in particular were fantastic and we enjoyed all the places we visited. D. fell in love with Las Vegas! The thank you present received on our return was also appreciated. Thanks for handling everything so efficiently and your attention to detail. We will certainly recommend you to friends and relatives.
