Helped us to the end

When our cruise ship lost power and we were told we were going to miss out on all of New Zealand, who did we call .. Terry! And once again he came through for us and worked around the clock (as there was an 18 hour time difference) to put together an amazing travel plan that helped make our dreams come true! Not only did he help us plan our entire trip he stuck with us right to the end...
