rich people are people too

At some point, we've all had to deal with rich people and bear up under their special brand of self-absorption and peevish arrogance. That's why I was so moved by these testimonials of happy vacationers. There's something touching, almost poignant, in their perseverance in believing that it was human kindness that motivated the attention they received, and not merely their grandiloquent outlays of hard currency. Here, see if you don't agree...

• The room at the Princeville Resort Kauai was beautiful with a view you could die for.
• ...room service was an absolute God-send. And, of course, the service was always impeccable.
• We had an outstanding time in Peru, on our honeymoon, and we loved staying at both Hotel Monasterio, and at the Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel.
• Ivonne was extremely helpful, contacting the property to get us in at the last minute and providing us with the normal amenities such as free breakfast (a great value), in-room reflexology massage (which was wonderful!), and free upgrade based on availability.
• The food was exquisite and its presentation enticing. All six of us chose the wine tasting menu, so the sommelier paired a generous (and delicious!) glass of wine with each course.
• The service was impeccable. The only sad thing was the fact I left a memento of the F1 Race (a red tank top) at the pool.
• We will definitely accept the Dreams Come True Package at the Four Seasons Milan and want the ticket to Giselle at La Scala...

Just reading through those, I began to tear up. Aren't they just too romantic?
