Details and Notes

Rafting: Original cost $145 pp. Negotiated a 10% discount.
Meals: Cost divided evenly among all participants.
Video: Cost divided evenly among all participants. Steve ordered a second video. Negotiated a 15% discount.
Photos: Cost divided evenly among 7 participants. Excluding: Luci (not in the photographed rafts), Hari (per request).
Hotel-1: First night at hotel. Rooms arranged to fit cost/comfort desires of participants. Each room is paid for by it's guests.
Hotel-2: Second night hotel. The two cancellations led to sub-optimality in the rooming of the three remaining. Most of the damage was averted when the hotel resold one of our rooms. The remaining excess cost is divided evenly among those who canceled.
Hotel-Misc. Charges for refrigerators, reselling rooms, etc.
Gas: For the 3 individuals in my car on the outgoing trip. Other cars took care of their gas bill.
Guide Tip: For the 4 individuals in my raft. Other rafts took care of their tip.

This has been somewhat of a nightmare to organize and account. If you feel you should be paying more, please. If you feel you should be paying less, and the difference is less than $20; then please, leave me alone! If you feel you should be paying less, and the difference is significant; then let's talk about it. But, before you do so, realize that in that case, all items are then open for discussions.
