The Star ferry goes across the harbour, costs some outrageously small amount (20 cents but you will need HKD) and takes a few minutes to cross. You could take train to Kowloon station and free shuttle bus to Sheraton hotel, then walk to the Star ferry (couple of nice blocks), and get train back to airport from Central. Be sure to buy a same-day return ticket (basically half price).

Thanks for the advice!

So would the plan be:

1) Arrive at HKG airport
2) Take Airport Express Train to Kowloon Station
3) Take Shuttle Bus from Kowloon Station to Sheraton Hotel
4) Walk to Star Ferry Terminal -- what is the name of that origin station?
5) Take Ferry Across -- what is the name of the destination station?
6) From the destination station take the Airport Express back to HKG airport?

Is there a different stop there for #6?
