If all...

else fails, blip the moon.

I needed to talk to Roy tonight about our visit to Hong Kong in September, the only way I can get his undivided attention is to go out for a meal, which is what we did.  We now have accommodation sorted.  So hopefully my brother/sister in law can get us booked into a suite in their hotel block for out 18 night stay.  However, next on the agenda is our cruise in Alaska.
