  British: This is what I wrote to Tauck last year regarding the gifts that they send. I did get a response back but I thought it was rather vague.

  Dear Tauck,
  My husband and I would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for the trulv remarkable experiences we've had traveling with Tauck over the years. Having completed 17 incredible trips with you and more to come, we've come to deeply value the care, organization, and warmth that consistently define your tours. Our most recent journeys, A Week in Tuscany and back-to-back with A Week in Puglia, were no exception. From the thoughtfully designed itineraries to the seamless logistics and, most notably, the professionalism and passion of your tour directors, each experience reaffirmed why Tauck remains one of our favorite ways to travel.
  Beyond the beautiful sights and enriching moments, we've especially cherished the connections made along the way. Sharing stories, meals, a glass of wine with laughter among fellow travelers added a special dimension to these journeys that we'll always treasure.
  We also want to sincerely thank you for the generous gifts we received in connection with these two tours. The thoughtfulness behind them was genuinely appreciated. During our Tuscany trip, we were gifted a beautiful and sizable paper mâche figurine. As we had already been traveling independently for three weeks prior to the tour, it presented a few logistical challenges. To ensure its safe return, I ended up purchasing a small additional carry-on and carefully packed it among my clothing. More recently, we received a striking and substantial wall clock from our Puglia tour, delivered directly to our home, a very unexpected and generous surprise. This was our first experience receiving these thoughtful gifts
  While we are truly grateful for these lovely mementos and the care that inspired them, we'd like to offer a gentle suggestion from our perspective. As travelers who are now in a stage of life where simplifying and minimizing are priorities, gifts, especially larger or more delicate ones, can sometimes add to the complexity of travel. We know we're not alone thinking like this, as many in our age group share a similar desire to travel light and then return home without accumulating more physical items.
  Interestingly, close friends of ours who were traveling on a Tauck tour in France at the same time received a gift of 200 Euros in cash from their tour director. They found this both thoughtful and most practical, as it gave them the freedom to either choose a personal keepsake or simply enjoy a special treat during their trip. We thought that was a lovely alternative, and one that might be appreciated by many guests.
  Please know we share this feedback with the utmost sincere respect and gratitude. The true gifts we take away from each Tauck journey are the lasting memories, the wonderful people we meet, and the enriching experiences you create with such care and thoughtfulness. Those are the treasures that stay with us.
  We look forward to many more travels with Tauck in the years ahead. Thank you again for everything you do to make each journey so very special.
  Warmest regards,

  Hi, British. How were the charter flights in New Zealand, specifically the carry-on space and warnings of no wheeled ones. Do I need to force my wife into a duffel? Her primary bag is huge, but Travel Pro says it's 62-inch compliant, thanks! We leave on March 5.
