On The Pegs
Vol. 4 Issue 7 - July 2019

The package basically has the double occupancy and the single occupancy op-
tions. It has thirteen nights. Then the dinner package with that is only twelve
nights because we’re not serving dinner on Saturday night because the final moto
at this year’s ISDE will actually be at a world GP course. It’s about an hour away
from the paddock, so the families won’t be getting back for dinner and loading
the containers. So it’s thirteen nights and then twelve nights for the dinners. Then
the next one is maybe nine nights or eight nights. It runs Saturday the 9th through
Saturday the 17th.
The same thing there, it’s one night less on the dinner package. The dinners are
a little bit more expensive than last year, but we had a lot of negotiation. The ho-
tel we’re going to and staying at is a really nice hotel. The restaurant said, “We’re a
four-star restaurant,” and they didn’t want to lower their price. So we negotiated on
menus.
Even though we’ve went away from having a travel agent, we do have an agent
arranged for the two weeks we are there. She’s from a company based out of Ar-
gentina and Spain that has handled travel for us in the past. In the past, our travel
agents have used other travel agents, and the cost keeps on going up. We’re still
using her to make our accommodations. She is providing an agent for the two
weeks. So if there’s lost luggage, she can track it down. The lady we’re getting is
fluent in Portuguese, Spanish and English. Then she can help with any issues with
the hotel. If someone gets hurt and needs to go home, or something happens,
then she can get flights and she can do things for us. So she’s there for the “what
ifs.” So we have everything covered.
