Hi Xayatiy,

I’ve just checked my inbox and discovered that our trip has unfortunately been cancelled. Needless to say, I was genuinely disappointed, especially because I’d been eagerly anticipating the chance to travel and spend time together.

Still, rather than dwelling on the cancellation, I was thinking that a short getaway to Tavaqsay could be arranged instead. Its peaceful atmosphere and breathtaking scenery would undoubtedly make for a refreshing escape from our routine.

What do you think? I’d love to hear your suggestions as well.

Best wishes,

Nozima
