We haven't seen much from Sabu or Puamana in a while, so I decided to break out a few postcards for show and tell.

Here is a card from the Hanalei Hotel and Islands Restaurant in San Diego, CA. The place was a real gem in it's heyday.

Take a closer look and you can see the details that made this place a classic.

A lava rock waterfall and lots of tropical foilage.

Outrigger beams and a large lava rock moai on the roof. Looks like this guy had a torch on top of his head.

A nice covered walkway supported by tiki poles. Check out the port hole window on the door that leads to the lounge. Looks like this gal was dressed to go out for the evening.

This place still looked great inside and out the last time my wife and I visited San Diego (1995). Here is a link to a previous thread where I posted more recent photos. Look closely and you can still see the port hole window on the door to the lounge.
