Well, just a little bit of hope here...I actually had no bookings over the weekend but had a couple clients send in deposits, but one was visiting from elsewhere (regular) and the other out of state.
Almost like walking on air, you know...to have money without actually 'working', but I'm certainly not getting comfortable with it. The need for deposits is arising due to the state of things, and getting them certainly obliges you to take the booking no matter what.
And remember, things may be slow at home but it's not like that when in a new city.
