'''''Funds Reminder: costs will be on the order of [[Conozco Uruguay Tour#Cost|US$ 300]] from Apr 30 to May 5 as outlined by Pablo & Leticia a week ago here -- covering daytime activities: (business hours, incl transport)'''''

'''''This US$300 cost estimate includes accommodation On Tuesday Night ONLY (May 3-4 in Durazno).'''''
You MUST book your own accommodations in/around Montevideo all other nights! As you can see from the above links, lunch is generally included, but breakfast and dinner/drinks generally not :)
YOU MUST BRING CASH OR SIMILAR TO PAY TRIP ORGANIZERS UP FRONT / EN ROUTE.
More detail forthcoming from Pablo/Leticia in coming days, around partial payment for partial attendance, thanks!!

Hi Aaron & All Confirmed Participants: Make sure you are subscribed to conozco-uruguay@googlegroups.com -- ask holt@laptop.org if not. That is the best place to ask & help resolve little logistical questions with the entire group, thanks!

How will transportation work? Some of the events describe buses but others do not. Also, does the start time include the travel time or is that the time we are expecting to arrive at the location of the day's itinerary?

Yesterday we succeeded in booking at Casa Sarandi for May 4-8. We wanted to change from Che Lagarto because what we thought we were getting was a room with a bath, instead it is a room with a "path" (down the hall)! They do have some problems with their booking system, as others have also found. Today, we got a note from the owners of Casa Sarandi saying they had a room for April 30-May 3 after all. So we grabbed it. We will be canceling our Che Lagarto reservations as soon as we hear again from the Casa Sarandi owners that our reservation really did go through. BTW, the actual room price is $71/night instead of $66. That was last years price.

<i>We are currently being flooded with last-minute requests to join our planned "15-person-maximum" community/school exploration tour. Final requests are needed now this week such that I, Pablo and Leticia can decide how many people can or cannot in fact be accommodated!</i>
