The Sheraton shuttle rolled up about 10 seconds after we walked out the door. It's right next to the airport so we were checking to our upgraded suite - the joys of being Starwood Platinum - almost before we knew it.
They are renovating their executive lounge and gave us certs good for one drink and appetizer each at the bar, along with a full breakfast.
We enjoyed ahi, flatbread, and added a chicken quesadilla, making a pleasant late-night dinner for us after 2 1/2 hours on a regional jet.
This is the only hotel room we can recall that has entrances on two different floors. The living area is on 9 and there's an entrance to the upstairs bedroom on 10. That would save having to lug suitcases up the spiral staircase, and we prudently put the Do Not Disturb signs on both doors.
Kathy and Brian
Two retired educators alternating joyfully between seeing the world and enjoying our eight grandchildren (in order of birth), Jake, Avery, Taegan, Lily, Peyton, Riley, Blane, and Jace.
Kathy and Brian met in the clarinet section of the University of California (Santa Barbara) Symphony Orchestra several decades ago.
Brian's Western Canadian roots and Kathy's Colorado ties resulted in their making beautiful music together along with producing a cross-border crop of descendants.
Kathy spent a year studying in Vienna at the Institute for European Studies and the University of Vienna.
Brian started the school band program in Hope, British Columbia, and later became the high school's vice-principal for 6 years and subsequently principal for 15 years before retiring in 2001.
Kathy, in between raising our three children, taught kindergarten and first grade, middle school, and high school - mathematics, computer studies, ESL, and her first love, band, before retiring in 2001.
We enjoy sharing our travel experiences and providing the odd travel tip to friends, relatives, and visitors.
