Hi Bill
How was Alaska?


Perfect week in Denali, rough week on the stormy Katmai coast chasing bears. About normal for Alaska.

Personally I would not watse any time on these two. They are regular trouble-makers

Rizzuto is a good guy but he had an awful experience with a SA travel agent who used to post with multiple names on Fodors, so I think he is a bit touchy when he sees people like you who just began posting, yet appear to know your way around. But I have no problems with him and am on his side regarding his poor experience with the bad agent last year.

Bill

Bill,

Welcome back from Alaska. You'll have to tell us more when you have time.

Bill. Are you actually friends with this fool. Have you personally met him which I have and it was a BIG NO NO!

So did you used to be known as 'MarkSafari' or similar?

Just curious ... you sound like the guy who had a beef with Rizzuto earlier.

Thanks for the kind words, Bill.

And, yes, it is Mark Garzancich in yet another user ID.

Mark, I don't know the details of the business dispute you had with Rizzuto (whom I do not know, except via Fodors), but the name-calling is over the top and out of line and makes you look unprofessional.

My last post on *this* thread

This thread is a good reminder of why I switched my business from Mark's company, Taga Safaris, to another agent. I switched when Mark answered his business phone when he was, by his own admission (or maybe it was a boast) drunk.

It seems that not a whole lot has changed in the intervening time.

Those seeking an agent of this caliber should click on the links that Mark has kindly provided.

if wise is working for the mentioned safari outfitter and i as a owner would get aware of it i would consider serious steps as that guy is having an impact on to the company!

i would never ever book with them as i simply would not like to put my money into insane hands nor allow them to waste and ruin my trip.

wise is pretty much demaging that company.
