Good on Hong Kong, Baltimore, and Warsaw. Paris, coordinate with Jacques and Pierre on what fabrics they're going to use for the spring fashion lineup. Might be worthwhile taking Jake to dinner and showing him fabric samples after you talk to the weavers.
Mombasa will turn into a time eater for both of us if I land the deal. Nevertheless, tell Ibby I'll pop in on him sometime Thursday if that's good for him. Speaking of hotels, I've enclosed some prelims on a new resort build from the wizarding side of Belize. Seems they've run into some supply problems. I'm considering closing Rio down and opening there. What are your feelings on it?
I think Mexico was a waste. The economy is tanking and they are pushing toward a peasant revolt. If we can make a profit and run, good. But I don't want to get any of our people caught up in anything long term.
Good on the appointments. And cufflinks. And an attaboy each for Griff and Devon. You seem to have the whole situation handled. And the reward for a job well done is another job. Straighten out the whole suit/tailor thing. Because we've always done something that way doesn't wash for me any more. We need service and reliability more than we need tradition.
I'm treating the Lovegood girl to a birthday getaway at my villa in Astrakos this weekend. Leave Friday night back sometime late afternoon Sunday. She's had a bit of a hard time lately with her father being sick. Maybe I can cheer her up a little. You are welcome to use the place when I'm not. Only two bedrooms, all muggle, but a bit of private beach.
