"Room temperature" doesn't mean 78 degrees. Oy.

I had mid-morning coffee in the Woodward recently with a business acquaintance who was staying at the Ames. Our waiter seemed visibly pained that he could not offer us a more elaborate beverage.

Agreed that Kimptons do a very good job at partnering with decent restaurants, that could surely stand alone were they not attached to the property. The Allegro in Chicago has 312 Chicago and the menu there is delicious (and so is the food). as always good points for the hungry traveler.

I'm also a big fan of the Hartmann roller -- much better than Tumi, which seems to have a flashier name but whose bags have let me down several times. (Though they were very good about repairs and replacements.) For the small rolling computer bag, we recently picked up Samonsonites, and they are astonishingly roomy for under-the-seat bags. Frequent travelers might also want to consider the Powermat wireless recharger - you can charge up to 3 devices wirelessly on this handy little mat -- in both travel and home versions. Seems like magic..... Great travel advice from a seasoned pro!
