"Just a quick note to say thank you for organising our trip. It all went like clockwork and it was a wonderful experience for both of us. People are quick to complain when things go wrong, so when a trip like this that has many parts goes so smoothly, I think it’s appropriate to show gratitude to the person who organised it."
