My parents house is very much a Floridian, Caribbean tropical style, not a south seas tropical style (though not too bad for a couple of native Iowans). The farthest west I have been is bumf*ck Texas. In my late teens and early twenties, I spent a lot of time hanging around Disney property. I tended to spend most of my time, not in the parks, but at the Polynesian and Contemporary Resorts. It is probably the reason why I took to Shag paintings the moment I saw them. Now why I choose those two resorts to love instead of the Grand Floridian Resort, I couldn't tell you. I think ManFromT.I.K.I. is right, you don't choose tiki . . . tiki chooses you.
