She salsa dances, and for the last 5 years has won (in her age group) in a 5K running race!  My Mom loves music.

“We would like to stay in 4 Star hotels.  We do NOT want to hike.  We do NOT want to walk with our luggage. We do NOT want to walk from the hotel to the bus station or to airport.  We will need some kind of bus/microbus/taxi transfers from hotel to the bus station or the airport and the same arrangement from the bus station or airport to the hotel. We are NOT backpackers.  We will have a 26 inches suitcase and two side bags.  Do you see anywhere during our trip the suitcase and two side bags might cause inconvenience?.”

“This trip is a huge disappointment.  I feel as if I am traveling on my own.”

“Why can’t I check my bags straight through from my LAN flight to my TACA flight?”

"You didnt tell me that my passport was expired!"

"What happens if for whatever reason (get to airport late) we end up missing one of our flights?  Would your company be responsible for rescheduling us and paying for the ticket at that time?"
