I'd have to have a nice waterfall - You know, that soothing sound of falling water behind an endless string of traditional exotica and polynesian tunes. Waitresses in grass skirts & nothing else(thats right, no tops, as was traditional - I'm going for realism here guys!). Lots of carved tikis hidden behind thick tropical vines and exotic, colorful plants. I'd like to make it out as if it was a hidden place that you, the customer, had just discovered. Each visit would allow you to find something new that you had not noticed before. Naturally, I am partial to the Kahiki design. That A-frame hut look. I liked walking over the bridge into the darkened cove of the big, thick wooden doors. For a brief instance it was almost pitch black with the only illumination from floresent pools of water trickeling down the rocks on either side. Then you entered the lobby. I like the aquarium idea too. Perhaps some polynesian pearl divers looking back at you while you eat pu pu platter or something. No, don't get me wrong, I am not picturing a Kahiki knockoff - but where else could I get away with sea shell sinks in the bathroom and stalls with porthole doors. Naturally it would have to go in OHIO so that you California people would have to travel a couple of days to some see it. (Yeah, see how YOU like it!) Ahhh...what a dream. :sheckymug:
