Under the heading of..."It could only happen to me"
The evening in Happy Valley Goose Bay was quiet and uneventful. Attended two receptions and had a lovely supper...Monday the real work starts. I awoke this am and went about my usual routine as best I can in a hotel room...a shower was at the top of the list.
I turn on the water, adjust the temperature, am pleased that there appears to be lots of hot water and in I jump. I pull up on the handle and water begins to spray...EVERYWHERE. The water was coming out of the top where the shower head screws in and out of the actual shower head in bizarre directions. I reach up and attempt to put my handy woman skills to work and screw it back on. It falls off in my hand and now I have a steady stream of water coming out of the shower. I quickly reach down and turn off the water. Now...what to do? Hmmm. I screw it back on. I figure in my head that it had simply been loosened by people adjusting the head and I could easily fix this problem and continue with my shower. Nope. There is a rather large crack in the part that screws on and I don't notice it until I see water hitting up on the ceiling in about three different streams.
I'm resigned at this point to just...shower and get it over with...when I notice that one of the stream coming out of the head is somehow going around me and out the back of the tub. I gently tug on the curtain to close the gap and BAM! The rod falls off the wall and into the tub.
At this point I am now laughing so hard I fear drowning from all the water coming into my mouth. I then showered Indian style (see March posts for explaination of that) out of the facet and deliver the shower head to the front desk shortly after that.

Well Jennifer - what a shower that was! I certainly chuckled while reading, it truly sounds like it should have been on the funny video shows. Hope the rest of the visit goes much better than your start - although if you are able to laugh, that's great! At least you didn't drop the soap or shampoo and fall along with the shower curtain and rod.
Oh - I am interested in pink drinks, more interested in hearing some tales of your travels and saying hello in person! It will be great to see you.
Enjoy the rest of the trip ... Lori B.

I would have liked to have seen the look on the desk clerk's face when you passed them the shower nozzle! They are lucky you have such a great sense of humour. But, hey, it makes a story to remember the trip by for darn sure.
