Lindy -

I understand the hesitance of committing over the internet to such an 
enterprise, if you are uncertain of its legitimacy.

To help you feel at ease, I have been in contact with the French Paint Box 
again and they are forwarding more information about the specifics of this 
tour, places they will visit, and possible references from satisfied customers.

I should receive this information today and will try to get is out to you 
by the beginning of next week.  As the date is late for this current tour, 
if you'd prefer to wait, they will also have another in October.

 From my perspective, this is a small outfit doing a good job but still 
experiencing 'growing pains'.  If you'd like to call them directly, you can 
do so at (831) 457-2001, or e-mail them at FrenchPaintBox@yahoo.com.

Regards,
Sean O.
