"John: We have been having a great time in France. Thought I would give you some feedback on our trip.
* The accessible van drivers to and from Normandy were terrific. Very prompt and good drivers. Trip was quite comfortable.
* The guide in Normandy was excellent. He is a recent college grad with master's degree in history specializing in WW II in France.  Also born and raised in a village just off Omaha Beach. He was very knowledgeable and engaging.
* The hotel you recommended was quite nice. Room was good for handicapped, particularly bath. Front desk staff was helpful, restaurant accessible and food was good -- with sea view. Very close to other restaurants also." - Jane from Washington DC
