It depends on whether or not you'll be taking it to a hotel.

Kiwi walks down the road, with a sheep under each arm.
Chap outside a bar asks, "Are those sheep for shearing?"

Kiwi replies, "Nah, git yer own".

[u]Actual serious answer:[/u]

"A ewe", because it is pronounced the same as "you".

The whole [i]"Use 'An' if the next word starts with a vowel"[/i] thing is nonsense.

The actual rule is to use 'An' if the next word starts with a vowel-[u]sound[/u].

Hence:

an MP3
an hour
a union
a one-track-mind
