I used Diane Ross to plan a trip to NYC.
Wanted to thank her for organizing our trip. We had a wonderful time and everything went off perfectly. Our seats at the shows were just great, dinner at The Tavern on The Green was wonderful and the Tour of Lights was so worth it. Having the shuttle was extremely helpful. We did the boat tour around the Statue of Liberty and enjoyed that very much. The trip was a success and in a huge part was due to her. Without Diane's assistance our trip would not have been so enjoyable.
