(regarding 15 passenger vans) A CDL was not required in '04

The enterprise operation at DIA had quite a few, that said there were issues
with the 15 person versions in terms of safety and a lot of buzz about them
not being available ... no problem for us.

Comments...

Right, CDL is for MORE than 15.

We also got a 15 passenger van with no problem for our Autumn Adventure in
2004 (as well as 2000 and 2002), but our initial inquiries for 2006 have not
turned any up (yet). I understand the "safety issues" are more media
hysteria than real, but perception being reality, I would not be surprised
to learn that the market for them is disappearing, or has disappeared
already...
