Sheraton, I Know Ye Well

To your left is the Sheraton Hotel at Waikiki. I can't tell you nor will I in this blog all of the many mischievous things I have done in Sheraton Hotels. In fact, today was on the lower end of my Sheraton mischief.

I woke up at 5:30 am, in part because it was cold with my windows open and in part because of the energy work that I had done the night before. By 6:30 am I was at work emailing the wonderful people I work with in the HP Alliance. By 8:40 I was out the door and taking a bus and then a nice walk to Waikiki beach - possibly the most touristy beach in Honolulu. I walked for a while along the beach and just seeing that wonderful ocean and having it's cold water hit my feet is so incredibly refreshing. Then I came to the Sheraton. I simply walked in as if I were a guest, swam in the pool and chilled out in the hot tub for a while. Or perhaps I should say, "warmed up" in the hot tub. Any way, everyone is supposed to have an orange bracelet signifying they are a guest at the hotel. I just kept keeping my wrists down in front of the guards and going about my business of relaxing and talking to some guests. It was fun! Then to the ocean where I had a nice swim and a real nice pee.

I later went to a nearby mall that has a movie theater and an Apple Store. I always forget how despite the fact that I am surrounded by beautiful vibrant tropical aliveness, I am living in a modern Western major United States city. And a city, mind you, that has Sheraton hotels to take advantage of. You gotta love it.
