Neil smiled and said,"Hello Al,my pal.How are you doing?Are you ready and packed to come back."
Alicia smiled a bit at the laconic voice and answered excitedly,"Yess!I am..And so is Ru!We'll be seeing you there sooooooonnnn!"
Neil laughed at Al and said,"Yes you will.And I may have a surprise for you!"
"What surprise?when?where?how?",Alicia asked like a little girl.
"Al pal,It's a surprise!So you will know the when,where and how of it when you get here.Alright, I have something important to ask you.I want to buy a gift for a girl!Tell me what to get her.."
