Could be, or whoever it is is being too hasty/totally disorganised. Agree, weird. But guess it's academic as I can't imagine our Rozzie will let them have the villas just for a couple of nights... eh Ros?

My Clousseau (sp?) interpretation:

They have flights out on May 22nd. Return on June 4th.
They have booked [someone else's] accomodation from May 26 - June 2.
They are asking to book with you for the odd days on either side.

Guess that describes me too Rozzie - other half calls me a 'go-onner'. But it's true - I don't do 'brief'!! 'Spect my friends here have noticed.:oops:
