It's a pain dragging your luggage around looking for hotels - much more pleasant to have a hotel to go to & then you can check out places as you are walking around. More likely to get a better price if you aren't encumbered by luggage & obviously need somewhere asap.
Lately it seems it's always quite busy. Feb should be quieter though after the school hols. Wet & very humid.
Some horrendous changes (mainly the traffic & hassling) & some good ones (great restaurants & shopping).
Went in June with a friend who hadn't been there since '86 - she said it was like a going to a different place entirely.
