I myself provided a hack that offered temporary relief, at least for some people. I purchased an expensive Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter, which enabled me to connect both of my Apple Cinema 30-inch displays to the same GeForce video card and stop using the second card. This eliminated the kernel panics altogether, but it also had a noticeable impact on video performance and general system responsiveness, undoubtedly due to the fact that my system now only had half as much VRAM and video card processing power available. Some people in the Apple Discussions thread also mentioned that replacing one of the GeForce video cards with an ATI Radeon HD 5770 appeared to provide a permanent fix for the problem. Personally, I went back to using my two GeForce cards when Apple started seeding OS X 10.8.3, which enabled me to continue to monitor the situation, but of course also meant that I continued to experience the kernel panics, albeit less frequently. This remained true with the final OS X 10.8.3 update, and with early builds of the OS X 10.8.4 update. In June 2013, Apple released the final version of OS X 10.8.4, and it still did not fix the kernel panics. As I indicated at the time, it looked like Apple was working on the problem, especially since “ graphics drivers” was listed as a focus area during the testing of early builds of the update. But the fact remained that the kernel panics were still there in the final version of OS X 10.8.4. Thank you again for your feedback, and for your continued support of Swain Destinations.In spite of my willingness to voluntarily endure some level of computing hardship in the name of helping Apple improve its products, I finally decided that I had had enough, and purchased the ATI Radeon HD 5770 upgrade kit myself. If you would like to discuss any further, please don't hesitate to let us know. This is an unusual oversight on our part and we regret the inconvenience caused. Please accept our sincere apologies for not notifying you at the time the itinerary alteration was made as you should have been apprised of the situation immediately. We do realize that every traveler is different and appreciate that the Girdleys felt the one night was sufficient. Our normal recommendation for travelers wishing to experience the Camel Fair in Pushkar is to stay two nights, so clients do not feel as if they are rushed, seeing as there is so much activity at the fair. We are sorry to hear that you were not entirely pleased with the service you received on this occasion, and that your clients incurred additional expenses while traveling. Reply from Swain Destinations Dec 14, 2017ĭear Cindy, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on your client's recent trip to India. I have to say that I thought a trip to the Arctic would be one and done, but now I want to go again in a few years when our children are old enough to do some of the more active experiences like ice-track racing, and helicoptering over the North Pole! We are already planning our next Swain Destinations trip, and cannot wait to see what they offer elsewhere, but I highly highly recommend their Finland experiences. We wrapped up our trip in Helsinki and got to experience the Christmas Markets and even Finland Day, which was beautiful and touching. I cannot speak highly enough of just how moved we were as a family to have these experiences together. Every activity that was arranged was so wonderful - from the activities themselves being unique and in the beautiful Arctic setting, to the individuals who led the activities being legitimate Sami reindeer herders, champion husky mushers, and so on. We gave Swain Destinations our preferences and dietary requirements prior to traveling and everything was prepared exactly to our needs, and was still authentic, locally sourced and delicious. The food from our private chef at our chalet was AMAZING. Our guide, Miikka, was so caring and flexible, always making suggestions based on the days' weather and working so hard to ensure we would see the Northern Lights, despite December being a difficult month to get to see them. Everything from the moment we landed in Rovaniemi to the day we returned home was so special. When I say it was the best trip our family has ever gone on, I am not exaggerating. It was just when Omicron was spiking in Europe and we were nervous at first but the Swain team walked us through all the protocols and because we felt like we were going to be in a very remote area (Finnish Lapland, in the Arctic Circle) we went on the trip anyway. My family of four traveled with Swain Destinations to Finland in December 2021. Arctic Finland trip with Swain Destinations
