Just throwing ideas around still but I'm thinking this may be a better option ...
1 Week in July for Opening Parties
and
1st Week in September for Closing Parties
Last year i was practically dead into the 2nd week and had run out of money ! If we do 2 dates then perhaps more can get to either or both dates and also we would have a great relaxing break in between and be bang up for it again, plus have a chance to save.
I know people say "well just take it easy the first week" but i and others never do!!!
What do you think ? Still looking at Villas too ...
