...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.

That's odd.

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

mmmmmmpineapple....

Well if it wasn't the pineapple, it might have been the ice that did it.

What else do they put in pina coladas?

Dunno - had to look it up.

3 oz light rum
3 tbsp coconut cream
3 tbsp crushed pineapples

Put all ingredients into an electric blender with 2 cups of crushed
ice. Blend at a high speed for a short length of time. Strain into a
collins glass and serve with a straw.

Eh...

Eh...

It could have been the coconut cream or the combination of Coconut cream
and pineapples, it is hard to tell. Then again, ice has caused
freezer brain, so it could have been a delayed effect.
