Thanks for having us at La Mariana and your home, Gecko+Ailia Wahine. It's taken me some time to re-adjust to the Big City since leaving Oahu. It is such a beautiful and special place. I know I'll be back soon! and I think that you'll both be visiting NYC TIKI someday too! Our Gecko Tiki made it back safety in a carry-on garment bag. I packed in light clothing and he hung the entire way in the airplane closet without threat that someone was going to put a heavy suitcase on him. The tiki mug altar will be hanging soon and I'll snap some pics and post 'em. Mahalo!

Thanks everyone on TC for your advice on the island. all your posts helped out immensely. The Hawaiiana Hotel was perfect, the tips on the food and drinks were right on the mark, snorkling, driving, you name it--TC contributed ALOT to my wonderful visit. Mahalo, Ohana!

PS. I'm proud that I provided a good representation of NYC. Like Hawai'i, I think that this place is really special too.
