“Melissa planned the bucket list trip of a lifetime for my dad and me to attend The 152nd Open Championship at Royal Troon in Scotland. Not only did she gather our wish list of items and make them all happen, but she added everything needed to make it possible for my Dad to make the trip and surprises we did not even expect! It started with door-to-door service that made it seamless for my Dad to get through the large airports of San Francisco, changes at Heathrow, and whisk us through security & customs at every stop.

We began our adventure at the home of golf, St. Andrews, staying at the Old Course Hotel and a room right on the world-famous 17th "Road" hole. We enjoyed walks along the 17th and 18th holes in the mornings and captured a memorable photo on the iconic Swilken Bridge. The service and meals at the hotel's Road Hole restaurant and the local eateries were exceptional, with everything set up. All we had to do was show up. Our journey continued at the Trump Turnberry Hotel, where we celebrated our 55th and 88th birthdays all week long. On the nights of our birthday, we even received specialized desserts - of course, mine with my favorite Oreo cookies and vanilla ice cream and where we were also serenaded by the entire dining room. We were picked up and dropped off at the entrance to The Open, which made all the difference. We spent the week in the VIP hospitality suite with preferred seating in the grandstands, gourmet food, a meet-and-greet with a European tour champion and Ryder Cup Captain, and even a photo with the iconic Claret Jug!

My dad and I will always cherish and remember this incredible trip. Thank you, Melissa!”
