Re: [vpFREE] Re: Longer Breakaway report

Had it happen to me the first time in Hong Kong in the 90s.
We just left something in the slot when we were gone so
the room and refrigerator would be cold when we got back.

The folks at the front desk told us how.

Temp was over 100f with 100% humidity, so it was mandatory.
