Hey all, Hello everyone! Cool site!

I just found this site, and love anything to do with Tiki's, tropical gardening, and South Pacific decor and lifestyle.

I own a home in Laguna Niguel, California (near the coast) with my wife (TikiGirl), and have been decorating it with eclectic decor for over five years now.
We have a faux black lava rock swimming pool with water-falls (that I did some of the work on myself) with huge planters contain lots of tropical plants, and an original Oceanic Arts 5' tiki (that I did the finish on myself). The Tiki guards over my property and wards off any evil spirits :) Also next to the pool is a thatched covered umbrella that I fashioned out of dried palm thatch from my 50" California fan palm (took me three weekends to build from scratch).

We have traveled to Hawaii (Maui and Kauai), and Tahiti (Moorea and Bora Bora) over the last five years.

So far we have entertained two Laua's at our home. But can't seem to find any true avid tropical tiki lovers (like ourselves) that appreciate good friends and laughter, some tropical drinks, a nice ocean breeze, and the sound of waterfalls while listening to the sounds some swinging Mambo tunes!

Love to hear from others!
