Here's how the condo thing works: you submit a request including areas you are willing to go and dates you can go. They search availability, and call you with what is available. It costs $50 to submit a request, and then that is applied to your total so I'll just pay that. Unfortunately, once you agree to an area and a date you have to pay all the rest of the money. That means we would have to cough it up within the next month. We could put off the request, but you have better luck getting the date and place you want by submitting about a year in advance.
Could I have some input about whether people are still interested and able to come? With the request you have to tell them how many adults and children you have so I need a decent count. I know it's hard to plan this far out but I still think it's one of the most economical ways to make it happen--$500 for seven nights for a two bedroom condo is much cheaper than a hotel would be, and can also save you money eating out and stuff like that. If you think you'll have trouble getting the time off (like Mark) you would still have a chance to back out when we get the available dates before we confirm the reservation.
I'm really hoping everybody can come!

Katie, thanks for taking care of all this! We're in (two adults, one kid) and if Mark can't make it, I'll still come. Just let us know who to make the check out to! What's the name of the condo?
We're in. Sounds like fun.
Yikes... I didn't realize we'd need to pay the 500 by next month. That's going to be a problem for us. I'm guessing that we're probably not going to be able to do it. Does sound like a good deal, though, so great job on planning it all out. The timing for us (to pay) just doesn't work though.
We are looking forward to the vacation and will go for any time we are available. I assume we are going to need about 3 condos (if we all go) for 31 people (17 adults, 14 children). There should even be enough beds/couches for all adults (but of course Matthew and I do love the floor. Just ask him.) We really want everyone to be there. So if anyone has trouble making the initial deposit, we could throw down a little bit more and just have them pay us back.
Kate, were in for 1 condo - we will pay the $500 up front in hopes someone who wasnt able to pay in the beginning is able to join us by the time we go - just let us know the dates so we can request the time off...thanks for all the time and effort you put into making this possible - we appreciate you||||
