Thank you to all involved in two recent trips. After the awful weather in England it made me feel guilty to find ourselves in warm, sunny Tenerife in January, hearing the wonderful Dudamel in the amazing Calatrava concert hall. Atoned for it somewhat with the even deeper, slushier, icier snow in Berlin in February, but with true Maestro flexibility it was arranged for the coach to take us everywhere door-to-door so we never needed to walk more than the width of a pavement!
