Pam, Sorry to hear you are still unable to book. I would give it one more try on the 31st. Maybe you'll luck out. I hope so.

Susan, Good to see you were able to book Crowne Plaza Auckland and the reservation process went smoothly. Yes, please let me know your impressions when you return. Wishing you a great trip and stay at CP in Auckland.

Ted, Sounds like you had a lovely theater week in London. I've heard many good things about Forum. Great hearing that your stay at this property has always been favorable and you experienced more of the same this time around. We,too, really like the South Kensington area of London.
