hello just received your email, however seeing as it is just a day before the christmas holiday season I would be happy to engage more in the New Year. blogging is not new to me, yet i rarely find the time to engage perhaps the topics have not been that interesting to me. however traveling is something that is very high on my list of priorities and I would welcome the time to engage in such a discussion I have no marketing experience, and I dont work in the travel industry in fact I rarely stay in 'lodges' of anysort, unless I think that it will enhance my experience in the country that I am in I brought my 70 year old mother to your resort, a few years back and it was one of most memorable experiences in the 2 months that we spent in Costa Rica, prior to that we were circumnavigating the country by public bus and staying in rooms along the way. I flew her down to meet me in Costa Rica, a break from the 16 months that I had spent traveling from Mexico to Punta Arenas in Chile, solo and only by land and sea. It was overall a great experience, one that I had always wanted to do but did not get the chance till my mid 30's. Look forward to engaging more if you feel the input of someone who usually travels independently would enhance the debate. HAPPY HOLIDAYS for those who are celebrating at this time of year.
