Here's two dining room waitresses showing off their colorful outfits in front of the Bora Bora. I wonder what his nickname was - my brother had mentioned about it earlier. I never knew they gave him one! There is a small sign at the base of the statue, and it probably described something about the BB, however, I don't remember the details.

If the other bar was in the Tiki Lounge as Mom thought, then this was probably the bar in the Lava Club. Some of the decorative pieces are the same as the ones in the other bar. Sorry this one came out much redder than I thought!

This looks like a spread for for one those buffets you've seen in the ads. I've always enjoyed the dry-ice effect!

I tried to get a close up of the tiki things just for all of you. Hope it came out okay! If anyone knows any info about any of the pieces, please fill the rest of us in!

This is one of the buffet workers. Looks like he's getting going on a crown roast. At least that's what it looks like to me. I can't tell what's in the pan. Maybe oven-roasted potatoes?

Apparently this was taken on opening night. From left to right: GrandDad (just barely), Grandma P. (GrandDad remarried after his first wife died), a waitress, Mom, and Dad on the right behind her. Those curtains behind them are made of black bamboo beads. You could still see beyond them a little, but it was obscured a bit. I think the kitchen area was behind them, so Dad didn't want anyone to have to look at that while they were eating. This was taken in one of the thatched huts that you can see in the postcard. I think it was one of Dad's favorite tables to eat at. We sat there a lot when we went, but not every time.

I hate to say it, but this is all I've gotten done so far. I will keep working on this, but this is probably it for tonight. I need to take a little break! Could someone please make me a Mai-Tai? :)
