How the pages behave
Reading this site, and what to write when a booking page defeats you
Every page here is text in one column that survives having its styling stripped away, which is the plainest test this office knows how to apply.
Nothing here is reserved until the office has written back and you have agreed to what it wrote, and no reservation is ever paid for on this site.
Decisions taken on purpose
Everything you read here is real text and never a picture of text, so it can be enlarged, selected, read aloud or restyled without falling apart. The layout is a single column that reflows to whatever width you give it, from a narrow phone to a window dragged wide. Contrast was measured rather than guessed, and every field in the form carries a visible label tied to it.
Nothing moves by itself. There is no slideshow, no drifting panel, no window that covers what you were reading, and no animation to hunt for a switch to turn off. No code runs at all, which is to say your keyboard, your reading software and your own browser settings behave here exactly as they behave everywhere else. Turn the styling off entirely and the pages still read in a sensible order.
Known rough edges
The list of trips is a wide table, and on a narrow screen it has to be pushed sideways to reach the last column. Some of the written descriptions are long, which is deliberate and still tiring. On the paired entries the figure is read out before the description of the second place, which is the wrong order and will be changed rather than explained away.
No claim is made here about every combination of browser and reading software, because no such check has been carried out; where something has not been tested it has not been tested, and saying otherwise would be worth nothing to you. Printing loses the shading altogether, which is one reason the shading never carries meaning by itself.
That small hatched mark, and the words beside it
The list carries a small hatched square against every entry. It holds one piece of information, and it is there so that your eye can find that thing quickly while you scan a long page. It is decoration with a job to do, and it is never the only place where the information lives.
Whatever the mark says is written out in words on the same line, every time, without exception. A mark alone cannot be read aloud by software, cannot be told apart by somebody who sees shading differently, and vanishes on a dim screen in bright sunlight. The words are the information. The mark is a shortcut for the eye, and nothing on this site rests on shading alone.
Telling the office something is unusable
Write to desk@farevacation.com. Name the page, say what you were using, a phone, a laptop, a particular reading program, and describe what happened or failed to happen. Plain sentences are plenty. There is no form to fill in, no category to pick from a menu, and no ticket number to chase afterward.
A message like that is treated exactly as a request for a quote is treated, and it comes back inside one working day. If the repair itself takes longer, you are told what it involves and roughly when to expect it. If the site defeats you completely, ask, and the whole list, every figure and every description, is sent to you as plain text.
Reserve a month rather than a date
Tell the office which month you have in mind and it will answer with what that month makes possible and what it shuts.
