Yes. Chicago.
-
Three tiki hot spots... Trader Vic's, Hala Kahiki and Chef Shangri-La. Oh, let's not forget Aku Hall either :wink: (though I've yet to visit)
-
A major metropolis with potential for a huge draw TC and non TC people
-
Two airports (three if you count Milwaukee 80 miles to the north) to which airfare is pretty reasonable plus Amtrack for the more adventurous. Right off of major interstates which stretch to all reaches of the country. Makes it easier if we have to evacuate from a hurricane... you can go north, west, and south... :wink:
-
Chicago is beautiful in the summer and fall. Lower humidity than Florida, lower UV ratings for our fairer skinned ohana...
-
Lake Michigan is an inland sea... I frequently surf it. The lakeshore is beautiful... North Avenue Beach, Oak Street Beach... Navy Pier and the ferris wheel, harbor boat trips...
-
Some of the best shopping in the world, for those who indulge in it, along the Magnificent Mile... rivals New York and Beverly Hills if not beats it...
Yes, Fort Lauderdale has the tropical atmosphere which makes for a great location (not like I got to experience much of it this year) but Chicago would not dissapoint. And as been mentioned... put the heads of Exotica and Hukilau together good things could happen...
