Weird Uncle Tiki Florida Bound! - General Tiki

You guys covered most I can think of. But if you're willing to go south of Miami, head down to the Green Turtle Inn (http://www.greenturtleinn.com/index.htm) on Islamorada. It's a time warp. I still can't get over that last time I was there they were featuring a "mentalist" performing that night. There are almost always tiki carvers along the road on the way down there, one or two of them anyway. Also stop at the Shellman on Key Largo (might have another location too). They have cheap glass fishing floats, prety cheap puffer fish for lamp makin', and other fun nautical stuff. Oh yeah, they have shells too. I wish I could meet up with you guys this weekend, but I'm finally hauling my carcass to the Outrigger in Jensen Beach. Oh wait, if you go to the Curry Steakhouse, check out a Chinese place I saw called Fu Manchu. You can do a web search for it. The neon at night was fantastic! It's supposedly been there since the '30s or '40s. Why do I picture walking in there and seeing hundreds of Fu Manchu mugs!? Have fun, and besides the heat, the mosquitoes are also REALLY intense now. I mean swarms. Kentiki
