Well, typically, a hotel will load a rate and it will keep advancing inventory for 18 months ahead of the current date. Not sure what is happening here. They have the SPG25 rate loaded from now until December 31, 2006. They also have the SPG35 rate loaded, but inoperative with no occupancy end date noted.

So, there are too many variables in this picture for me to say with any certainty that SPG25 will continue past the end of this year or if the SPG35 rate will ever be activated.

I'm making some inquiries, but getting anything out of the Hawaii office lately has been hit or miss...actually most miss.

Sincerely,
