January Jaunts
Dear GTI,
I had the pleasure of traveling to
London. The entire trip was planned
and booked through GTI. Upon
checking in at Miami, the clerk
checked her computer and extended
the courtesy of complimentary
upgrades. While checking in at the
Hotel St. James, I again showed my
identification card. The hotel clerk
gave us a one bedroom apartment,
complimentary wine, fruit and a
well-stocked refrigerator in the
kitchen. Thank you for putting
together such a wonderful first-class
vacation for us.
