I
have very recently returned from Bogota, Colombia where I shared my
Thanksgiving with the L.A I. agency, its wonderful Staff, and the
most wonderful and caring ladies that I have ever met! The people
at the agency were very caring and helpful and always were willing
and able to lend a hand when needed and were fun to laugh with and
share good times with too! It was very much like a family and Lucy
(the mom figure of the agency) was just the warmest and nicest person
you could ever meet, talk to and ask for advice! The agency staff,
( German, Ximena, Nelson, Liz, Alexandra, and all others) were great
friends too, not just for advice! all sincere friends that want to
help and make your stay great! My friend Dominic from the Florida
office here in the USA talked with me 2 years to help me join the
agency and finally go to Colombia as several very sad events that
occurred here in my family including the death of my father, prevented
me from going earlier. Dominic and the other Agency members that I
talked to on the phone all wanted to help me and were sincere friends
too. Finally i arrived and was met at the airport and helped with
my luggage as only 4 weeks prior to my trip I had broken and dislocated
my thumb so I was not one for good luck (smiling)!! but I arrived
at the Hotel (Charlie's Place) and everything was in perfect order
and then on to the events, parties and meetings that had been arranged
for me and the other tour members as well, that had also arrived.
I was lucky that I spoke Spanish well but there were always staff
Translators for all who need help in communicating to the ladies and
others as well! The women of the agency and Colombia were the nicest
and most sincere, loving women in the world, (not like most here in
the US who think that your job title and socio-economic status is
more important than family and love). The ladies of the agency think
with their hearts and soul and no doubt are the best around! Family
is the most important to these ladies even if you have been divorced
as I have been for a long time, they will open their hearts to you
and show you what it is to be cared for even if you have a child from
a previous marriage as I do. They were wonderful in all respects!!
I plan on returning as soon as possible depending on my work and vacation
availability and am recommending L.A.I. To all of my single and divorced
friends that I know (even those in My bass fishing club) that they
will experience a wonderful time at the parties and events as well
as meet the most beautiful, caring and loving ladies in the world
that would love to share their life together with them always! MY
warmest wishes to all of the staff at L.A.I. for all your support
and happiness that you brought me from cold, snowy Ohio as I write
this letter and I hope to return soon!!!!!
