Hi, Cindy~

Everything went well.  Hotel Clubby is perfect; I want to besure that the triple room will have 3 single beds and not 2 beds and one sofapull out, pls.  The first night we stayed there, the triple room had 2beds and one pull out bed.  When we went back for the last 3 nights, Room215 had the 3 separate beds.

Mr. Saitoh was a good driver; not necessarily a guide because he hadlimited explanations unless we asked specific questions.  Overall, when welooked at our itinerary, we really didn't need a guide per se since there wereEnglish brochures if we wanted.  Those of us who have had Young in Korea,hold all others to that standard!

For future reference:  staying at a different hotel to be closer tothe venues/attractions may be a better option instead of the long drive,especially to Furano and Biei.  Also, we could have skipped the Toya Lakecruise and rope way and shopped in Otaru/canal shops and spent more timevisiting the area.

I know our time was limited so all in all, everyone agreed it was a goodtrip--we saw a lot and ate a lot!  The experience was wonderful!  Andnow that the other six have been there, they'll be able to say what they wantto do next time!

Aloha,

Ione

Japan and China, best vacation ever

Melody from Novaland Tours was an ace at preparing an itinerary for us that it is going to be one of the most memorable trips for us. I wanted to jam so much more into the trip but Melody suggested not to and came up with an amazing itinerary where we got to see a lot but were not extremely exhausted. Was so please with Novaland that we plan on using them for our Australia trip in the near future.

You can let your bosses know that I think you are the best!!
