: : West Mission,
: : I am not sure if I am going yet, but I would like to.
: : A lot of people have talked about getting a group plan going down there, but I haven't heard any numbers or costs. Que Vaina Es?
: : Guti, you used to work for a hotel. If we got a group of people at a hotel what type of a deal could we get, or how much should we plan on spending a night. Where should we stay?
: : Let's see if we can get some numbers posted from people who have already been looking. I checked last year and round-trip from SLC, Utah was $500/person. Does anyone know how much rental cars are down there?
: : Let's see what we can do. June isn't that far away if the dedication is going to be then. The sooner we find out the more money we save.
: : Abul los mojones,(digo, mormones)
: : Chad
Well:
Let's see....I don't work for hotels anymore, but I can hook you up you guys w/real good offers in rooms down here. Just let me know before hand, OK? (don't merely talk.....PLAN IT!!!!).
Anyway, the General Manager of "El Jaragua" is an american member of the Church and he is a stud (he is a counselor in the East Mission presidency..). I am sure that he would hook you up too, cuz when Elder Oaks came, he prepared everything for that Area Training Meeting BY HIMSELF!!!!....and even gave many "amenities" for free to all of us!
I have one lady friend who works for Honda Rent a Car and she can help us w/good rates. For example, a Honda Civic, here, would cost $800.00 a day (in pesos...tululús!); car rentals are very expensive here, but, within the possibilities, we could get the best rates in the Island.
Any further questions, just post them here or send them to "rafaelgui@hotmail.com"...k?....cool!
Stay in touch...
...el Matatán!
