DP has "gone hiking in a national park with a colleague for the weekend" after a conference. The national park is rather remote, and the accommodation apparently doesn't have wifi. So I accepted that there would be no contact from Friday morning until they returned to the airport Monday night.

Except Google's wondrous data-dribbling abilities have just informed me (via a GPS-driven automatic facebook update of the colleague) that the colleague returned to London on Friday.

I was already a bit about the lack of wifi meaning no contact because of mega-expensive overseas data download costs, since surely a computer geek and his colleague know how to stop their googlephones automatically syncing diaries etc when they turn the phone on to send a text?

Email and text haven't been answered. DP's phone is clearly in the USA.

i guess I should resist temptation to ring up the colleague and ask what the hell is going on?

has she not come back yet? does she post under another name?

HecateQueenOfWitches · 03/07/2010 19:01

Hope everything is ok. It is easy to suspect that sudden disappearance after a thread like this means worst case scenario was right and op is busy in rl with shitty fallout. I hope that is not the case, and she's been reassured, everything is fine and she's just too busy enjoying him being home to come on mn right now.

Hope you're ok!

bumping, wondering if Tortoise is ok

Numberfour · 04/07/2010 08:33

I have also been popping in to see how things are going. Poor OP is probably going to be shocked when she sees the response she has received.

Lots of people are worried, OP, and hope that everything's working out well.

loopyloops · 04/07/2010 08:48

We're all keeping our fingers crossed for you OP

mumbar · 04/07/2010 08:55

I've only just read this thread and also sending you op and hoping all ok.

solo · 04/07/2010 12:37

Bumping.

mylittlemonkey · 04/07/2010 16:17

I keep checking in on this thread so see if there is any word from OP as been a while now and you cant help thinking the worst. I do hope all is not what we are now suspecting and OP has just had computer trouble or something. Sending positive thoughts to OP.
