It was a great Video, well done Catherine! Makes me want to go back. I am working on a small group for March 2011. I will contact you for some literature and selling tools when it is concrete. Lisa

Video of the trek through the flora and fauna of Jordan

Love the video Catherine! What an amazing journey and great stories as well! The photos look great splashed throughout the video. Very Impressive. I didn't do the trekking but I did have Petra at 5:30am one day along with Peter Potterfield, my assistant Bonnie Benacquista and Donna Yuen from Canada, and it was amazing! Alone in Petra to catch the sun rise on the rocks. The climb up the 800 steps to the Monestary was well worth the it, both exhilirating and breathtaking. An amazing and beautiful country I long to go back!!!
