When five people can go out to a restaurant and order five entrees and three desserts and pass those desserts around the table so that I get a spoonful of pistachio ice cream followed by a bite of coconut cream cake followed by a bite of tiramisu, well that is a good evening.  When five people agree, after living together for 7 days, they want to do it again, that is the very definition of a great vacation.  A vacation is partly about the time and the place and the experiences and the service but it is also about the company you keep.  Good times.
