3. Make room....here I come!

My cabana boy would be a little homely, so no-one else would want him, but not repulsive, of course.....Tall, slender, wise in *um* matters of the heart, clean.....and like that......

I'd probasbly be drinking something cold and non-alcoholic......

Let's go!

4. How about Cabana girl?

I would have a Mango/Rum inside a young coconut.

I was in Phuket, Thailand for two weeks and a ten year old girl who lived with her family on the beach would bring young coconut drinks to you for about 1 US dollar and all the chocolate we could give her.

It was great. After the first four days, other kids who lived near the beach would come by and try to offer foot massages, beer, coconut drinks, or anything else for free as long as we gave them chocolate. I couldn't figure it out for a day or two, but it turns out the girl we were buying drinks from was selling our Hershey chocolate we gave her - one section of the bar at a time - to her fellow neighbors for more than we were paying for the drinks.

Turns out chocolate is currency in some parts of Thailand. Go figure. Because she was going to go back to school shortly after we left (they were on break), we gave her 200 dollars for supplies. The hotel staff told us not to, but since they were charging 5 US dollars per drink, we figured we still came out ahead.

We exchanged letters with her for a few years, but we've heard nothing back since the Tsunami. Since they lived on the beach, my heart sinks thinking about it.
