$500 sounds high, but perhaps.

However I am booked into Le Meridien Jimbaran Bali for $90+4800. Add in taxes and it is $108.

The current rate w/ taxes can be as low as $193, so those 4800 are worth $85 today, and a fair bit less after March.

Not that it matters, as ALL C&P have vanished for the rest of 2013 (there were plenty two weeks ago).
