Dear Ms. Hernandez:
I saw an advertisement recently in Sunset magazine where Rainbow Resort rents houseboats. My family and I (there are three kids and my wife and me) would like to take a vacation on a houseboat from July 17 through July 24 in the California Delta area. We have never done this before, but it sounds interesting.
Please send me any information you may have. I will have to make my vacation plans soon.
I have no idea how much this might cost. If we rent a houseboat, we want to know do you provide bedding, dishes, pots and pans, and the like I am wondering about navigating a houseboat. Will we have to take a course or training on how to operate it It may be too difficult for us to operate. How far can we travel in the Delta area in one of your houseboats What if we decide to stay on more than one week I actually have two weeks of vacation, but we may want to travel in our RV part of the time. Does insurance come with the rental fee Our kids want to know if it has TV.
Yours,
Leslie E. Childers
