John, based on your numbers, it is actually a 22% increase (per night) in the room rate, but if flights and transfers remain the same, you're looking at an 11.4% increase in a 5 night vacation. Makes the TTR increase seem less painful when you consider the whole total. Sorry it's definite my inner "Rainman" coming out, definitely the "Rainman".
