Lucky to get a hotel room

Turns out I was very lucky to get a hotel room this week on the short notice that I booked my room (I booked it two days ahead of time).  The international AIDS conference was held here all week and hosted roughly 30,000 guests, many of whom came from other countries and cities.  Needless to say, the hotels in this city were apparently packed to the brim... how I got a spot is beyond me, but blind luck is fine with me!
