I feel the same way about the country western theme-ing of the SLC Sky Club. Low lighting, brick and exposed wood create a very calming atmosphere.

I know this might sound weird, but I walked the streets of downtown Fort Lauderdale the other day [I don't know if I've explained this before, but from 2000-Nov 2012, I lived in downtown Fort Lauderdale. In Nov 2012, I moved to a beachfront penthouse with my parents in Lauderdale by the Sea, where I have resided to this day.], and I became very emotional because I had a very strong feeling of not belonging. I'm not sure how to say this, but I really don't like Fort Lauderdale or South Florida. I'm not sure why half the nation wants to move here [absent the weather], and I want out ASAP. Traveling has shown me that there are greener pastures out there, and being 19 (20 in a couple of months), there's the independence desire...

Thank you, DP!

I haven't considered much international traveling yet. But when I do, I want to review obscure airlines' premium products -- Air Greenland Business Class, Icelandair Saga Class, S7 Airlines Business Class, Vietnam Airlines Business Class....
