If you visit Maui, be sure to stop by Mama's Fish House at Kuau Cove. It is an awesome and very popular Polynesian themed restaurant. Awesome decor; Tikis, bamboo, thatching, koa tables abound! Souvenir Tiki mugs too!

On Kauai, there are a few vintage stores to check out, pretty easy to find. And be sure to stop by Hanalei Mixed Plate for an awesome local style plate lunch!

Just got back from a trip to the Islands a few hours ago, and yes, most all the local carvers charge a monster fortune for their work... but did manage to wander off the beaten path and found a 3 foot tall Tiki (very well done, I'll post a pic sometime soon) for only $120...! Cost almost as much to ship though.... more about my Hawaiian Tiki quest in a later post....
