<\/p>\nI love surprises, when they’re good. Today there was a knock at the door and a the UPS guy had a big brown box for me with a very distinctive purple sticker on it. \u00a0I can spot those purple Starwood stickers from a mile away now.<\/p>\n

I carefully unpacked the box and found the coolest thing inside. It was a bottle, wrapped up very nicely, surrounded by tons of little brown paper and a lovely note from my Starwood Ambassador. (A Starwood Ambassador is assigned to people who stay more than 100 nights a year, and they can help you with all of your travel needs. I love mine.)<\/p>\n
