Rich – I had hoped (and prayed) for a different outcome , but apparently it was not to be .
I had also hoped that the PM’s would reward me enough to come to the Grand Opening of your completed resort. For all the years I worked and lived in French speaking Europe , Portugal is the one Latin country that I have yet to set foot in . I’ll save my introduction to meet you in a far better place . May the weeks ahead go easy on you .
As far as the resort is concerned , rest easy in the knowledge that eventually , what goes around comes around . You can leave in peace – they will not .
