Kuwait; but a new experience!
I think someone from Starwoods Preferred Guests has been reading my blog and maybe they say that I dissed the Kuwait Sheraton last time I was here, because let me tell you- I am not in Kansas anymore!.... Kuwait Anymore.
My travel assistant booked my trip this week as normal, I go out from their airport to my get into the car- it's not the black chevy tahoe- It's a black Mercedes 6 series? I was like "I'm not paying for this! And they guy goes- it's complementary" with a puzzled look on his face. So I get in, and just to make sure- "You're going to the Sheraton right?" He says yes and away we go. I go in the same lobby entrance as always, through the metal detectors, and they go "oh- I'm sorry, you'll have to check in next door which I was like "What? I have to stay at the four points?" Not that it's bad, but for the rate we pay- it's not appropriate. "No- you're staying next door..." As I'm walking around the corner the tile turns into marble, the marble turns in to mosaics, the mosaics turn into gold cherubs playing violins and and flying behind me with my suitcases..- Ok- so that didn't happen, but seriously It is a St.Regis! Holy Lord- and it was right around the corner from the Sheraton this whole time--- and for the Same Flipping rate!!! AH! Pinch me! I am sitting here in the office part of my room at a gold claw foot chipndale desk and the most comfortable chair I've ever sat in and I can not believe I'm 200 feet from the Sheraton!
So if the Starwoods people have been reading my blog- Thank You. I LOVE THE ST.REGIS! And I have a whole new respect for Kuwait and will have NO problem coming back here whenever needed :-)
