The Pacific before 1900:

The Pacific wasn't invented until 1946 when Donn the Beachcomber created it out of limes and sand and rum.

James Cook and the Explorers:

James Cook was a bartender for Trader Vic who stole all of Don Beach's recipes.
The Explorers were the first surf band.

The myth of the South Seas Paradise:

South Seas Paradise was a Toronto Bar that had the first Mystery Drink complete with Mystery Girl.

The universal longing for the concept of "Paradise":

Everybody's concept of Paradise is different but they almost all contain a palm tree.
So the more palms you have, the more paradise you have.

Glad to be of service. See you in a few days.
