All right! Here we go!

Lots of people have said they’re interested in “running” the Mississippi River Valley and hooking up with their “luxurious floating hotel room” each night. I think it will be fun. I think it will be interesting.
I think that the DVD I send you after the trip’s over will be worth its weight in gold – but I don’t know any of this for sure because it’s never been done before!

I asked for pioneer riders looking for an experience and now here’s your chance.

I need 10 riders for a boat that sleeps 14. By the time we add in me and the captain and crew (to get it through the locks), then that’s all we’ll have room for. (Remember, they’re all double beds, but I’ll try and arrange for 1 or 2 people to have their own beds if that’s what you need.)

The first 10 people that send me a $75 deposit will go for sure. After that, I will attempt to get a second boat if we can fill it but I can’t guarantee that.

I will refund the deposit fully if 1) for some reason we can’t go or 2) we can get a replacement for you. (The same holds true for the full price of the trip which will have to be paid by September 3, 2005.)

Some of you have suggested that you may already have a group that size that might want to go. (In effect, your own group could fill up the boat.) That’s fine. The same rules still apply. The first 10 people get to go for sure and then I’ll try and get a second boat.

You can pay the deposit by credit card if you send it to me through PayPal. (You just send it to my e-mail address.)
Otherwise, you can send me a check or a money order. (Send the deposit ASAP if you want to make sure you get a spot on this inaugural ride.)

There are lots of other questions that I’m sure you may have and I’ll be happy to try and answer them if you contact me but don’t wait too long if you really want to cruise/ride because I’ll have to go on a “first come, first served” basis for this first trip.

PS
I’m going to be at Sturgis in a couple of weeks. If you’re going to be there, let me know and we can meet somewhere and talk about the cruise/ride face to face. It can’t get any better than that!
