Hi guys, Couple bits of not good news so far.
First, the reservation fell through. Apparently, their reservation system is (still) screwy and someone else had booked two of our days a couple days prior to our reservation but their system hadn't listed it until now. Second, I've had zero people contact me so far as interested in coming. I know it's the weekend, and maybe people need time to check availability, and it's been only a day's notice... however it's not a good sign. I'm going to hold off on attempting a re-booking until there's some more tangible interest expressed. I think I can still make it work if there is, although time to do so is growing shorter by the day.
