Your friend, and mine, weirduncletiki suggested that this would be the best way to get a message to the to the fellow Tiki occupants of Amtrak car #6.

So to cynfulcynner, Humuhumu, martiki, mrsmiley, the drunken hat, thejab, tikicleen, Ed, and Rebecca I say, “Mahalo nui loa” for the good times and the assistance navigating over under around and through Reno.

It just hit me yesterday that I had a staggering amount of booze on this trip. I guess that was precisely the point. No wonder I’m so sprawled out on the couch in the photos at The Peppermill. :)

Now, in light of our drinking (and dining) experiences at the hotel, I’ll leave you with these slightly bent Hawaiian phrases from Keola Beamer’s web page:

These really nice napkins seem to match my underclothing.

Ku maika'i keia mau kawele pepa i ke 'ano o ko'u 'a'ahu palema'i.

This Merlot is an ungrateful bitch.

He kanapapiki mahalo 'ole keia mea inu Merlot ia'u.

Waiter, my papaya has been previously fondled.

E ke kuene, ua milimili 'e 'ia neia mikana!

The busboy has cursed me and I am ashamed.

Ua ho'ohalahala 'ia mai nei au na ke kuene, a hilahila ihola au.
