      We had a great time. I suggest going a week later for warmer weather. I enjoyed everyone. Flexibility was important, and we all adjusted due to weather changes.

      I had an absolute blast! I was pleased with the accommodations and my roommate. The excursions were excellent! I can't pick a favorite because I loved them all! My only recommendation is that when the dinners were canceled at the ranch, new plans should've been in place. There was only 1 vehicle for everyone and some people (groups) wanted to go to different places to eat, which caused a bit of a tiff. I didn't like the 'group' separating for meals. We came as a group, we should eat as a group. Also, there's always going to be disagreements, especially with 13 WOMEN...

Activities were fun, organized and I got a ton of pictures so I can remember this trip in years to come. Thank you Rhonda, for giving me a group of great ladies to take fun trips with, and your awesome ideas and organization!!
