The hotel probably does not allow Swift students access to the web via agreement. The civilized world might be outraged by the treatment of the trainees. If they get bounced during or after training the company can just use the lines from the big company playbook to discredit them. ORG might be at this very moment a hostage in a training situation that we really don't want to know the details.
Did he take a greydog or drive? Either way getting lost on the way would require more than a week to come up with a good cover story. At this point I would go for a good alien abduction story. That would cover all the bases.

Well, I just called my buddy and left a message. I let him know that we all understand he's probably really busy and just can't get to us here.
I also let him know that I pray "busy" is all it is and we all hope nothing has gone wrong in any way. I told him we're all chomping at the bit for an update and if for whatever reason he can't post an update, all he has to do is give me a call and I'd be happy to do so for him.
So, we'll see what comes of it. Hang in there folks, I'm sure this story isn't over yet.

He may have left his laptop. Hopefully he didnt get the deliverence mentor! I know my hubby barely had time to call me while he was out and definately didnt have time for computer stuff. They were not rolling a couple of times but no wifi in the area. Actually went to one drop in Conn. which they had called ahead to report they were going to be late, apparently a bad accident happened with no way to get around. When they got there they were told to back up to the door. It was about 3am. Then they were told theirs was a night shift load and they would be sitting there til the night shift came back on duty. The night shift went home then and there they sat. Humid rainy weather and no where to walk to get a bite to eat, no wifi, barely any cell phone coverage, they were miserable. Hubby says it was the only time his mentor lost it, but the mentor just took a long walk. Sure enough they didnt get off loaded til the next night. Swift did give em pay for sitting tho.
So ORG may have felt it best to leave the laptop and concentrate on learning an rolling.
