need confirmations


got an estimate for 25 person bus (550 dollars) and for a 14 person van (275 dollars). we will probably use the van, or even two vans, if needed.

so now it's time to confirm how many will be joining us. i need to give a 50% deposit soon, so those of you still interested, please u2u me before may 2, friday.

the cost will be van divided by number of people, plus approximately 5 bucks per person per winery (5 wineries), plus bag lunch from la bohemia. guess we're talking around 50 bucks per person.

please advise asap!!

But seriously, is anyone fortifying any wines in the Valle? Given what I've tasted, some should be.

that's good prices for a day's adventure. too bad you can't bring home the goods in quantity, or could you do something with a customs broker at the otay gate? there are several at the Brown field complex.
i hate tasting good stuff but not being able to buy it.
the USA's policy of 1 liter PP is a joke - what happened to NAFTA? why are tourists precluded from participating? :?::!:

You're learning, Mike. Everything our government does is for big business' benefit. The rest of us are afterthoughts because we cant pony up enough in campaign contributions compared to big business.
