My spouse and I went to Maui, Hawaii many years ago and stayed at a wonderful hotel with a wonderful spa. At this wonderful spa they had a "water course" of about 20 different pools, baths and showers that you spent a half an hour playing around in before your spa treatment. I made it to about 7 or 8 of the different spots, including a shower that dropped water on you from about 2 storeys up - very heavy water, big splash, felt wonderful.
Today in Vancouver - and for the past 2 weeks - we have been experiencing a "Pineapple Express". A weather system of drenching rain brought to us directly from Hawaii. Very heavy water, big splashes, but depressing and not at all wonderful.
And the annoying part is, there is no cabana, there is no sun, there is no pool, except there are many many deep puddles. There are no pretty ladies coming around at precisely the right moment to ask if you want another fruity drink, as you sit in your cabana enjoying the sunny day without getting sunburnt.
This may be water from Hawaii, but the delivery mechanism is just wrong.
And the little paper umbrellas in the fruity drinks would just be wads of colourful paper spit balls...
