The hotel rates for the current dates is between 200% to 400% higher
than if we move the dates one week ahead.

The extra $700 more in hotel rates for the week.

We're not buying a car.....just lower hotel rates.

The hotel rates during the newly proposed dates are in line with the
rates during the previous DLVs.
