Isn't it a gas to show someone around a place that you love, and see it anew through their eyes? I remember taking our daughter to Maui when she was 25and getting ready to be married. It was our second trip there and it gave us goosebumps to see her react as positively as we had. I am sure your enthusiasm rubbed off on your guests and they will probably be residents soon.
