One street, one number, and calls that go one way

Write in, or speak to a travel agent in San Diego about a reservation, during working hours

Two ways in, running at different speeds. The form takes anything at any hour and the request is answered by a person inside one working day. Calls reach somebody only while the office is open. only.

Reserve one of these weeksSend the form whenever it suits: it never shuts. Someone here replies inside one working day, and no charge arises at this end.

The telephone goes in one direction

While the office is open the number is answered at this end, and anything left after hours is collected on the next working day. Travellers who have not asked for a call do not get one from here; no text messages go out, and there is no automatic dialling of any sort. Should a call suit you better than a letter, say so and name a window; failing that, replies come back in writing.

Why there are two addresses here

One person is behind both the form and the booking address. Paper for this business goes to the postal address at the foot of the page, which is not the place to send a question about a week. A letter sent that way does get an answer eventually, and nothing is gained by it.

Four things worth writing down first

Which weeks would genuinely suit, the size of your party, and whether a poor week would still be worth the journey. A first answer of any use can be built on that. If something else alters the shape of the week, better to mention it at the outset than later: a knee that will not manage a long descent, a preference against moving after dark, a date fixed by somebody else.

Finish the sentence and a week gets reserved

Whatever the hour, what you send lands here and is read by a person, who replies inside one working day. Sending it binds you to nothing, and no sum is ever taken at this end.

I would like to reserve, some time in. There will beof us. If the week turns out to be the poorer version, I would.

Write back toat.

Nothing is billed here and no card of yours is requested or stored. What happens to what you send.
