A cool thing to check out (I think)...

...is the new and vastly improved availability calendar system on our site. Kudos to my main web guy, Paul, for his work on it. We used to think that basically everything about the hotel was on our site except availability, but now it's there, too, right down to the room type in question and virtually complete.

This may explain to some inquiring minds just part of the reason why we have been on hiatus from handling bookings directly for a little while now. There were lots of other reasons -- when it rains, it pours, you know -- but just to show evidence of progress and improvement!

Feel free to send me any feedback on it from the user perspective, if you like. Now to finish other pending projects. We should have a couple more interesting things to bring up in the near future...

Steal my webmaster might be more like it, or at the least a good idea.

Very useful, Steve! I see there is still some availability for deluxe oceanview should someone decide to organize Peep Fest 2007!

You're thinking small-time, Steve. Fill up the pool. It's not that large.

And why dilute it with mixers? Just straight up tequila, preferably GCA or my new friend Patron Anejo.

Now that would be customer satisfaction.

no, the size of you current margarita glass is more than sufficient, no change needed there, just roll the overhead cost savings into the free margarita plan
