Myrna and Stewart did a great job. Our tour was almost a private one. It was a general overview of the different islands and landmarks from the water.

The tour guide (Daniel?) was full of intriguing stories about all the things— and more— that we passed on the tour. I hardly looked around, so riveted was I to what he was saying.
