I just wanted to thank-you for a wonderful trip and to let you know how the results of your work and effort in planning the contest and trip were appreciated by myself and my husband. We had a great flight from Michigan to California. Once in California, we decided to rent a car for our time there instead of taking taxis. The hotel was excellent and so close to the studio. It was a special treat for us to have such a nice room.

We had an outstanding buffet breakfast at the hotel on Thursday and then headed out for the meeting with Vanna. Susi, Vanna's assistant, had been in contact to give us the plan for the meeting and instructions on how to get to the studio. Once there, she brought us to Vanna's room to say hello. We were able to take a few pictures and Vanna autographed a book for me that I brought. After meeting with David Blumenthal and John Menzer, we took more pictures with my afghan. Everyone "oohed" and "ahhed" over the afghan and we kept smiling for the pictures.

Very quickly it was time to watch the show. We were given the VIP treatment with the best seats in the house. I had never been to a taping so it was all very interesting. We only stayed for one taping because we were going to a tour of Sony Studios in the afternoon.

It was all over too soon and the next day we headed off. I really appreciate it that you let us extend the date of our return trip home. Also, the extra $500.00 in the prize package took care of all the extras needed to make the trip smooth and memorable.

Your kindness and generosity will be forever remembered as making it a once in a lifetime experience.

Thank-you so much,
Sarah Karnes
