Created: Wednesday, 25 May 2016 Written by Toby

Hi Mike, just a quick email to thank you and your team for making our visit last week such an enjoyable experience. Mary & I are so excited about our purchase and I have forward bought my currency through Smart Exchange (really helpful). Your name is used and was used quite a few times when we took the long way round on our travels. A detour will be known as a "Sweetman" from now on. All the best to you all. Regards Toby
