I've always thought I was the only one who got off on TIKI till I bought the Tiki book a couple of years ago. I have loved tiki since I was a kid growing up in So Cal in the early 60's. My Grandparents had an apt in Honolulu and their love for all things Hawaii was contagious! Their home here had a very tiki pool in the back with a very tropical yard. I grew up learning landscape design and my favorite theme is...TROPICAL!!! I have always designed tropical yards to try to recreate that tiki feeling we all know & love. Anyway, I enjoy hunting out tiki type hideouts and in the past enjoyed Don the Beachcomber in Hollywood, Trader Vic's in SF, Kono Hawaii in Santa Ana, and of course, the Hawaiian Islands. My new home is decorated in tropical themes & the yard I am planning is the ultimate tropical getaway!! I look forward to meeting many of you at the various functions this year and, of course, establishing contacts for the tikis I'll need for my new backyard! Thank You very much! Kahuna PS: Does anyone remember the 'Holo Wai' miniature gold course in Orange, CA? It was the coolest mini golf ever! Right on Glassell St near the 22 Fwy. It had a sunken city with waterfalls, tikis, & grass shacks. I would love to see if anyone has pictures.
