Fwd: estimate for Dolomites SAG support

[Piaw Na(藍俊彪)]

Michael Khaw is one of the western wheelers members who runs a touring
company in the Alps. As a lark, I asked him to quote us if he was
running a tour for us, to see how much it would cost. It'll be
$200/person/day with half-board (dinner + breakfast) and a SAG van to
carry all the stuff. I expect the tour to cost us $100/person/day for
us. I doubt if any of us would be willing to pay his fee (and it's
already a very discounted fee), but thought you guys would be amused.

Sorry, 1 week. For 2 weeks it would be less than double, as some of
the costs are fixed and independent of duration. My break-even would
go up to about $2,000/person for 2 weeks; so let's say I'll price it
at $2,800/person for 2 weeks.

This includes renting a van and fuel for it.
