ONE of those was at less than three days notice. On the other hand, we've already had the first enquiry for 2010. :-) So maybe by Xmas things will be back to normal - we generally expect the phone to start ringing around New Year...

We too have had two enquiries for 2010, I suspect both are honeymoon situations so not committed as yet. Hopefully Joe/Jolie consumer will start to believe the more positive economic news that has started to emerge. Hi Chris, interesting comment - merci!
