Q.  What is your favorite travel location or travel experience?
A. During my sabbatical leave this year, we visited to New Zealand and Australia.  Being a Lord of the Rings fan, we had an extraordinary visit to the "Hobbiton" movie set. It was completely rebuilt for filming of The Hobbit trilogy. Seeing the hobbit hole with the garden of flowers and having a taste of the ginger beer at the "Green Dragon Inn" was truly a dream come true! The other highlight of our trip was visiting the Australian Outback and experiencing the grandeur of the "Ayers Rock at Uluru National Park. It was both captivating and memorable.

Q. What is the best event you have ever attended?
A.  During one of our customer annual events held at The Ritz-Carlton Boston. We had an intimate dinner, beautifully laid out and the food was superb. Then it was followed by the "silent disco" where everyone had their personal headset with their choice of music. All participated and danced the night away. It was so much FUN and memorable.
