BTTI: Thanks for the bump, and I'm sure that alignment will occur at some point!

We got lucky once when a last minute cancellation popped up, so it seemed worth trying again. Back a few years ago, we had a high season week that a former colleague had booked, which would have been their second stay. They were friends, and we were sufficiently informal back then that we hadn't collected a deposit, or even advised that they secure travel insurance. A few weeks out from their stay, as I was contacting them to drop off keys, we learned that his wife's mother had become very seriously ill, and that travel was no longer an option. We asked Anthony to post about a last minute opening, and lo and behold, the very next day, someone fairly new to both the island (they had seen a bit on a day trip years before) and the forum (his very first post) expressed interest! They ended up booking for nearly two weeks, and as we were on island at the time (having just closed on Plumeria), we had a chance to meet them at Coconuts before we left, and give them the nickel tour of Plumeria. It takes more than a bit of spontaneity to plunk down a bunch of money on such short notice for a barely known island, villa, and owner, but the entire family had an awesome time, and was so very, very happy that they did!

All the best,
