Swiss Family Robinson

Once, for our anniversary, Nancy and I went to a little, local hotel that specializes in themed guest suites.  They have rooms set up like old cabins and fishing shacks, or set in Italy and Egypt.  They even have a couple rooms with a ship’s deck built right into the room, mast, sails, and a big captain’s wheel included. 

We eventually settled on our room, reminiscent of the 1960 Disney classic, Swiss Family Robinson, for three reasons:

1. When I was a youngster, I loved the movie.  
2. We were very poor and this room was the least expensive one in the building. And,
3. The bed was perched high on a platform, way up among the jungle foliage of a big, artificial tree. 

So cool.

The room was in a part of the building where the road going by was on a steep curve, just outside our window.  The constant road noise took some getting used to.  I also had a persistent, troublesome thought of a car sliding off the wintry road and flying through the huge windows of our serene jungle setting. 

But, like a raging, shark-infested surf, crashing on the beach of our small, uncharted, desert isle, the noise and the unnatural fear of a sudden and immediate death soon faded into the background. 

Most memorable for me was the bed in the tree.  I always loved that movie. 

Nancy remembers the soap.  She said it was wonderful. 

Light bulb!

We need to sell our soaps to this place! 

Imagine it –
Sea scented soaps, colored Bahama green, with ground luffa for a bit of texture.
Pine scented soaps for the cabin themes.
Olive oil based soaps for the Italian themes, with goat's milk to increase the creaminess.
And so on . . .  

If we hear back from them, you will be the first to know.
