Cookie at the end of the tunnel

Well, after 13 hours of travel I'm in Charlotte, NC. No interesting stories, just tortuous travel that has destroyed my back and butt with tiny unpadded seats. I got to the hotel around midnight and hadn't eaten a meal in 9 hours (Delta gave me a box of raisins to cover the 5+ hour flight...). I had resigned to going to bed hungry when one of my coworkers informed me that DoubleTree hotels always have fresh hot cookies behind the counter. Right on cue the hotel clerk reached into an oven-like object and gave me three huge cookies. I devoured one of them right away and the gooey chocolate covered my face but I didn't care.
Now I'm in my suite which has got to be about 1,000 square feet. It has multiple rooms and TVs. At first I panicked when I didn't see an ethernet jack for the internet but then I decided to look for a wireless signal. Sure enough, the hotel's outsourced ISP took over my web browser and told me I could have "unlimited" internet for just $10/day. As you can see I complied.
Good night everyone.
