Marcie and Roberts, Yes, as you've probably surmised, I booked directly myself...

This situation probably exposes how having either a very good TA, or good personal vigilance if you're used to doing these kinds of things yourself, is rather important. Since I assume that the reason that no one from Regent has been back to me is that they are not yet able to give me any good news (I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, for now, but still concerned that they aren't responding), either way nothing is yet solved - but one way or another will be, eventually.

Cheers,
Ken
