FAQs & FYIs
Can I invite others? Of course! The more the merrier. Please use your judgment & invite people who will positively contribute to the good vibes.
What about non-MBA folks? Why not? Let the good times roll.
Kids? Gonna stop you right there. The resort is 21+ only. Grown folks business.
Need a roommate? Drop your name in this handy dandy self-serve roommate finder & find a roomie! Try to remember to clear your name once you find one. Up to 4 people can be in 1 room.
Book sooner than later, as prices will likely go up as we get closer to the dates.
Any excursions? A Boat day on either Saturday or Sunday for those interested. We'll chat 2-3 weeks out. Feel free to book your own excursions, too!
Be Sure to Book Riu Palace Baja California! There are 3 RIU properties walking distance from each other, but only this one gives you access to all 3. If you book one of the others, you won't be able to come on-property at Baja California.
Want to book for different dates? All good! Your trip, your choice. Try to overlap with the group as much as you can!
More questions? Just ask! Please don't expect an immediate response, though. I plan to look at trip stuff once a week.
