There's no such thing as 'off duty' for an UNCLE agent. I love how they automatically booked a twin room :-)

Waverly has them well trained now when it comes to their hotel accommodations. "D

On the MFU ID card it states that an agent may be called with active duty in his Section with 12hours notice.. I think we've all ignored that rule.

Thanks for the comment!

Thanks for sharing this, and writing it so solidly. Really good depiction.

Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed the story. I've actually been to this town, so some of the descriptions come from personal experience. Been to the Marist Brothers retreat center as well. "D

A kind of an expedition into the recreational habits of a faded civilization

Great line! The story reminds me of going to Indian Princess camp (YMCA) at a converted honeymoon resort in the Poconos.

Thank you! I've actually been to Cairo, and I was being kind in the description. The hotel room was one I stayed at in the town of East Durham. It's like going back in time. These places must have been something in their heyday.

So Indian Princess camp? That sounds interesting... lol!

Indian Princesses and Indian Guides were scouting groups run by the YMCA. Not sure they have them anymore.

Thanks! I never heard of them before. I was never in the scouts.

I was afraid the week off would never happen. Great story!

Thank you so much! The next installment is going to be delayed as Fanfiction.net is down at the moment. I was able to post the chapter but can't get back on again. Tsk.
