I talked at length yesterday about the chocolate milk that was spilled
   down my back.

   It turns out that I was right. The two people were trying to rob me.
   The difference was that they succeeded.

   They stole my iPad.

   I did almost everything I was supposed to. My bag was on my front. I
   was hyper aware of who was touching me. I had too much to defend and
   they were skilled. The one extra step I could have done was lock the
   zipper pulls in the carabiner I have on either end of the bag. That was
   an $800 lesson learned.

   I stopped by the concierge desk on my floor. She and the duty manager,
   Gaston Mourrut de Beauverger, told me they would help me file a report
   with the police. It could take several hours and the odds of the iPad's
   recovery was slim. I opted to enjoy my vacation.

   The manager did offer to pay for my dry cleaning. As I returned to the
   room this evening my jacket, trousers, and shirt hung in my closet
   clean as a whistle.

   The staff in this hotel epitomize good customer service. Everything has
   been top notch, but this was above and beyond the call.
