....I ever took on the beach in front of the Sheraton Bal Harbour, which,
alas, is no more. It was blown up this past year to make room for...condos.

It was a terrific hotel for many years, great location, great beach,
nice rooms.

Well, the beach is still there, and it lives on, as the screen
background on my Mac:

I left my wife sunning around the pool at the Sheraton Bal Harbour while
I made a business call. By the time I came back, she had discovered
that the Cabana Boys will bring Pina Coladas right to your lounge, you
don't even have to get up, or even pay for them, all they wanted was a
signature.

She also discovered that pineapples make you very sleepy and will give
you a headache when you wake up.

That's odd.

Pinapples never do that to me. In fact, I'm eating about 25% of a
pineapple as we speak.

mmmmmmpineapple....

You forgot to marinate the pineapple.

Yep. They would and they did. I think I stayed at that hotel at least 15
times, sometimes twice a year.

You have to soak it in rum to get the headache.

Yes, it was, I believe. But more than the name changed. Over the years,
tens of millions were spent upgrading and improving it.

Did they keep the huge terrarium in the lobby, and the iguanas wandering
around the pool area?

Never mind. I have determined that they probably did not keep the terrarium
in the lobby. :-)
