Wow! What a great trip! It was too short of course, and now we are back at the grind. We had a wonderful time—really enjoyed our brief stay in Palm Springs and the Bali Hai in San Diego was spectacular. It was made even better by the great folks who came out and made us feel so welcome. The hospitality and warmth extended to us was just overwhelming. It was great to meet you all. Thanks so much everyone! And the 'Ona Tiki Lounge... simply breathtaking! Even with the hairy mermaids and naked bartenders!

We will definitely be out your way again, and if you find yourselves in Chicago (Maybe you former Midwesterners miss the cold? Even just a little bit?) please give us a shout. We'd love to extend some aloha to you here.

Again, mahalo!
