Melding with the DYKWIA part of this thread and the atmosphere at hotels far above the demographic Choice wants is today's post from Ric Garrido:

I had never thought this through before, and while ignoring the cost of all the little things for which luxury hotels charge (hard to ignore, I know, because by the end of a stay, those costs may be substantial), I recognized myself in his comments about his reactions to the atmosphere itself, especially when I'm traveling solo. The multitude of staff really means that I won't be left alone when I get back to my hotel, but I generally don't want or need that attention--just let me get to my room. On the other hand, I think I probably have slightly less of that feeling when I'm traveling with someone else, whether a girlfriend or work colleagues.
Could it be that I like the recognition when there's someone else around to see that I'm getting it? In other words, is there a bit of DYKWIA in me that I don't like to acknowledge?
