Wayne Lyons and his wife, Rosemary, invited a group of friends to the home of Dinty and David Keating last September 23, 2010 for a special wine, cheese and antipasto info-night about TourFlair. Dinty once again presented to the group TOURFLAIR -- the personalized concierge tour agency for those interested in travel to the Philippines. Wayne is a good friend of David's from way back and currently owns a very succesful business advisory and tax firm.

The party included a group of 16 long time friends - lawyers, doctors, engineeers, art lovers and adventurers, keen on exploring and seeing what the Philippines has to offer. After a few wines and beers, accompanied by cheeses and antipasto, everyone sat down to enjoy the video presentation on TourFlair. Wayne started by telling them all about his Philippine experience -- the great time he and his wife, Rosemary, had in Manila and Cebu -- that the tours would be just as special because visitors would be treated like friends. More so because the people behind TourFlair have all the expertise and connections. He went on to say that the tour would be nothing less than first class and spectacular.

The guests were absolutely enthralled by the video and what the Philippines had to offer. In their excitement, they sat down and drew out their version of a 10 day tour for the group, to include Manila, Boracay and El Nido, plus trekking to Mt. Pinatubo and a trip to Corregidor. Being an adverturesome group, they certainly want to pack it in! They will definitely be joining us next year for this fabulous tour.

The evening cocktails turned out to include a nice pasta and barbecue dinner prepared by the hosts. As they departed, each guest was thrilled to receive Philippine-made give-aways of note cards (Phyllis Zaballero - for the Chosen Children), colorful sabutan fans, and a little doll Christmas ornament.
Well worth the effort, despite the clean-up after?
Good job, Dinty! And cheerio to you, David!
