We have been officially been adopted by Wendell and Alice, or may be it was the other way around . We have been coming to Acklins for years, and Wendell and Alice are hands down the most gracious hosts we have encountered. The food was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner time conversations. We are already looking forward to next year’s trip.
