Sounds like you'll be all over the place. Beyond the Mai-Kai and the Muggler's sugestion about the Disney World Polynesian Resort, you might try the Wreck Bar in the Sheraton Yankee Clipper in Ft. Lauderdale. We're meeting Kentiki and his wife there the following weekend cause we've heard it is so cool. You also might try Curry's Steakhouse in Miami which has Polynesian murals on the walls. If you are in Tampa, I strongly suggest you try to get a little farther north to Tarpon Springs. You can get great Greek food there and tour the sponge docks, but even better, the Tahitian Resort hotel is 5 minutes away. This is a wonderful 60's property with many tiki's on the grounds (so bring your camera!). If you are anywhere near South Beach, go to Mango's nightclub. It's on the beach in the middle of the Art Deco district. It's not tiki, but it is a blast anyway. As for Orando, Universal Studios just opened their new South Seas Resort (I am going to their news conference tomorrow) and tiki island golf -- featuring an erupting volcano-- just opened on International Drive. And Sea World has a luau, if you want to do that. Hopefully, Kentiki will read this and have some other ideas for you in South Florida. Marian and I are looking forward to meeting you in Atlanta.
