Sorry to hear you had a rough time of it J. . . . I hope the weekend gets better and you can get back that clarity I saw you had the last couple of days posting around the BB.
Just another reality check when SO travelled I usually heard once a day, but not always . . . We did go through a little struggle in the early days of our extensive business travels until we sorted out that we needed to leave flights & hotel information before either of us left on a trip. With the rise of email, calls became less frequent (also because I was usually in a time zone 10 to 13 hours ahead) and emails became more prevalent. The details don't really matter, what I want to say is that you can work out these details and let S. know what you would like without it becoming a major battle.
