This isn't a trip report, per se, but I just got back to my computer and found the following IM from a friend. She's a SPG plat that checked into the Atlantic today, and has travelled domestically and internationally for several years.
Friend: u there?
Friend: i have to tell you...
Friend: this is the NICEST hotel room i've ever been in EVER
Friend: u must come to ft lauderdale to see!
Friend: if anyone asks where i am next week, i've decided to move in
