Almost forgot, Big bro you said that the rooms at the Waikikian had Ku lamps? ok..mine is a Moai. Did they have different lamps for different rooms maybe? or one's older than the other? they sarted with Ku then moved to the Moai design? Or did the ocean view rooms have the Ku and the others the Moai design. just wondering. Do you know?

Yeah, they had different Tiki lamps...don't know if older/newer, but one can assume that even though these suckas were out of heavy plaster/concrete, some got packed and had to be replaced...I remember them being WHITE (!), maybe painted later?
And the Waikikian had Ocean front rooms? I thought they all just opened into the Tiki torch lit courtyard, with it's meandering paths leading to the Tahitian Lanai...aaah, now there are some artifacts to look for from THAT place, like that modern wall carving of various island Tikis from behind the bar...
