...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:

Yes...those are boats way way way in the background.


Was that the Americana hotel before the name change?

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?

Indeed, there was a huge terrarium in the lobby, along with a piano bar.
As for the lizards, they're just about everywhere in Florida.

Here are some photos from a web site. There's a photo in there that
shows a different angle of the one I posted, but on what looks like a
crummy day.

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