March 2012

Dear Grant and Tara,



        I thank you guys for making our vacation fun and memorable. I have so many favorite things that we did but I will say a few. One of them was Tara's amazing cooking, it was one of the best meals I have ever had. The other is the scuba diving, it was really fun. I saw many things that I haven't seen before that is very interesting and that excited me. Lastly, Grants humor was very entertaining. It is never a vacation without a couple hard laughs, and Grant made that happen. I also thank Grant for teaching me how to wake board, I will know do that whenever I can.Tara I will email you when I get my scuba diving certification card.



                                                                                          Sincerely,



                                                                                                           Logan



 Hey Grant and Tara,



Thank you guys for such a great week on the boat. I had a great time each day with all the different activities we had planned. I feel accomplished because I learned how to sail (somewhat) as well as wake boarding. Grant I thank you for that. Tara's cooking was so great every night. The diving was great even though I had minor snot issues that one day. Overall a great getaway in the Caribbean!

Best Wishes,



Lucas



 Thanks you guys, it really was a great vacation. I'll keep my favorites short and sweet although there are many. The diving and snorkeling were wonderful. Tara's cooking was of course extremely enjoyable. Grant was also very funny and both of you guys were great to be around.



Thanks Again,

Nick



 



Grant/Tara,

When you are not yet married, nor parents, it may difficult to think like we do....



But, when your oldest is getting ready to head off to college, and your family vacation time in the future may be limited.....the vacation time and memories that you have together leading up to that are very special.  Our time together with you aboard Swish was special, and something that will be a fond memory for years to come.

Thanks so much,



Brad



 Hi you two, well back to reality for me..ugh!  Thank you for the most relaxing vacation I've ever had.  You know how to make one feel pampered and well taken care of.  I treasure our family adventures together and you both made this one very special. The meals were exceptional, the diving great fun, and Grant's sailing expertise and fun sense of humor were priceless.  Thank you.  All the best to you both,

Laura.
