OPERATIONAL ISSUES FOR KAMALA:
- Need to BOOK HOTEL ROOMS ASAP - done.
- Need to release any rooms not used by Aug 24, 2022
OPERATIONAL ISSUES FOR PAM/BUTCH:
- Need to book my spot before we open (normal but since spots are tight wanted to remind)
- Tried to make the pkg and pricing as simply as possible
- This is an entirely "at cost" trip so will only offer a small discount if doing both trips. I will make it manual so no issues with the booking system. I'll give something away that I have in stock as an early booking incentive.
- Get LEAD RENTAL RATES FOR JUPITER
- ORDER TSHIRTS FOR TRIP GOERS
