Here are some of our photos. We haven't been since 2004, and had a blast this year! A big highlight was the presentations by Beachbum Berry, Sven, and Bosko. Unfortunately as usual I'm in picture taking mode mostly when I'm looking at artifacts and architecture, so not too many party faces in these photos. But it was fun to see a lot of old and new friends, and see the sights in San Diego too.
Naomi and Nina on our way in for dinner at the Bali Hai on Thu nite.
In the Bali Hai garden.
Yes, the Islands restaurant is kinda sad. At least there are traces of the original decor. Iuka Grogg stopped by while we had a fast break, I mean breakfast, Fri morning.
I posted this on another thread, but here's the tiki on its skylight perch in the restaurant, that you can only see from very strategic positions.
Here's another remaining original tiki, apparently from MAMA New Guinea (as we learned on King Kuk's "Tiki Tour").
Quick sidetrip to visit Humphrey's Half Moon Inn back on Shelter Island again.

Enjoying the show from the poolside (a little easier on the ears for Nina back there).
Ran wields chopsticks while Judd flinches in anticipation.
Nice to see Danny and Stephanie.
Playing in the pool.
Doing the frug, the shimmy, the watusi, and the swim.
Me and Nina, with Ran and his cutie pie Ofel.

Inky and Smiley! Bruce surveys the lay of the land with authority.
