Sounds like you could send them to Hank and he'd take care of it for you. And Hank is a trustworthy fellow. If I were you, I'd trust him to only keep one copy for personal use, and not further distribute. Except, of course, to Penske.

Hank's wife likes to have vids playing in the background. "Mood music" sts.

I renewed the promise when he called me after arriving home from the airport late last night, but given our schedules, it may not be until the weekend.

It has been interesting to go so slowly with sex. We benefited recently from his work-related unavailability, but we have intentionally waited on sex while developing the relationship.

I am so glad I am married. Dating sex sounds so boring and routine.

You've never met Hank's wife.

I need to travel to Europe for work for three days, and need to find a hotel. I do not trust our travel people to do a good job, but I'm not sure how to find a good place, since I don't know this city very well. Any suggestions?

Frommers? Rick Steves?

I assume you're not able to disclose the city . . .

If you can tell us the city, maybe we can collectively help. I wouldn't trust Hank's suggestions though, for obvious reasons.

I've done well with both, but for business, you might be best served picking a chain where you are more likely to have amenities you'll need than something charming.

Yes, well the city is a little obscure and perhaps tending towards the outable, so I thought I would seek info about methods of finding hotels, rather than the hotels themselves.

I can give you the name of a good travel agent that will recommend places based upon price and other criteria. You don't know one?

You mean, like WiFi that costs €20 instead of being free?

Try here. I have stayed at several of them, and they have ranged from quite good to great.

I was thinking more about the opportunity to buy it instead of my cute little places that had only intermittent access.

I'd much rather pay the up-price and know I can get what I need when I am traveling for work internationally, especially because i am not actually the one paying.
