It was better having both official hotels so close to each other, and hanging out in the Wreck Bar was great. The Appleton company came through with good rum and drinks in the Wreck Bar and at the Bahia Mar. More West Coast Ohana were present this year including some Ohana who missed last year like Otto and Sven, bad boy Ben and Mrs. Bamboo, Martiki and Boo Loo, the Velours, Tiki Bird and Utopian Dream. Portland was well represented, and most of the Forbidden Island regulars were there this year (purely for research purposes, you see we needed to compare the Mai-Kai's drinks to F.I.'s). Highlights for me: Mai-Kai happy hour four nights in a row Thursday's boat ride to Cap's Place on moonlit water with Martiki and Dr. Boo Loo, the Velours, Tiki Bird and Utopian Dream and Unga Bunga (after our cab driver got lost - $34 from the Mai-Kai to Cap's!) Billy Mure w/Ape - one minor complaint: Billy's guitar should have been louder The Mai-Kai show - it never gets old Pablus with Haole Kats at the Mai-Kai - I was in food coma, but I snapped out of it and got some dancin' in Partying in the Mai-Kai bar until 3 on Sat (until something broke, we won't go there) Drunken moonlight swim in the ocean passing the rum bottles Meeting Auntie Bungy Sven's and Beachbum's seminars (wish I could have seen Kailuageoff's but I was still asleep) Stretch limo ride to the Mai-Kai on Sunday Me and my 21-ounce Porterhouse (it seemed more like 31 ounces!) and a glass of amazing Bordeaux on my pre-Hukilau trip to Bern's steakhouse in Tampa with Pablus and his wife Unga Bunga, Martiki, and Boo Loo Boo Loo and Martiki Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Velour, Tiki Bird, and Utopian Dream coconut carver Mr. Supersonic Guitar, Billy Mure Martiki gets the Mystery Bowl and he turns into Super-Martiki! Sarah, my favorite Mai-Kai Wahine The rest of my Florida picks are here: http://flickr.com/photos/thejab/sets/72157594325219022/
