INVENTORY:
3 ROOMS for Mar 12-19, 2022 = all double occupancy. (We were going to offer 2 weeks but most wanted one and I can now only get 3 rooms with min of 4 days early arrival up to 7 days early arrival) SO NOT SURE HOW YOU WANT TO DO THE FIRST WEEK... manually? Or set it up and only offer a few spots for the full week?
I SUGGEST....we get the 2nd week set up first since its the full week and I'll figure out what people are doing the first week and we can open a trip or manage differently. That is probably the best bet to start.
12 ROOMS for Mar 19-26, 2022 broken down as follows:
- 16 d/o diver spots (= 8 rooms)
- 4 s/o diver spots (=4 rooms)
