Lessons from organizing a trip

My third trip of fully organizing is now complete. A 11 people trip to Tahoe where I found the cabin, figured out transportation, provided a list of places to rent and decided upon the resorts…yeah…

But now lessons:

Paypal has a fee of a minor “2.9%” plus a 50 cent charge for a premier account (now I know why some merchants require a minimum charge for ccs…)

Round up, stop giving people the exact breakdown

Numbers to the tenth decimal scare people

Paying a lump sum is better

Consider vegetarians in the group

Figure out sleeping arrangements ahead of time

Determine who is comfortable sharing a bed and who is uncomfortable sharing a bed

Determine how comfortable people are with sharing a bed with the opposite gender

Same as above, but sharing a room

Always a minimum of 2.5 baths for the cabin

Laundry is available in cabins!

The smell of coffee really does get people out of bed

Rock band does keep everyone entertained

It is possible to finish a mini-keg of Heinken in one night
