Hi Otto and Tiki Room,

I joined Tiki Central today and I really should have introduced myself in the Introduction Forum first before posting here. ( I will introduce myself there and of course why I enjoy all things Tiki ).

I am in the process of getting my passport renewed and hope that in a few weeks time I am able to book a trip to San Diego for August; I shall be travelling on my own for about 8 -9 nights (and would love to meet new people and meet some San Diegans or anyone especially those who are into Tiki.

I am 26 years old and have never travelled by myself before and its something I want to accomplish - I never took a gap year when I was at uni to travel and backpack so this is I guess my chance to travel on my own and meet interesting people.
I am from the UK and ideally would love to attend this event.

My areas of concern is do solo travelers come to this event and have they been well recieved in the past? There is nothing like this in the UK so this really seems like a lot of fun.

How many people turn up or do you estimate to turn up?

Hi miss Darko and welcome..
In 2006 I fist travelled to the USA and attended my first Tiki Oasis, I travelled alone but had some contacts and the only person I had actually met was Shag.
99% of people were super cool though i was accused of putting on a fake Australian accent once... you may not be so lucky because nobody likes poms(kidding)
I would be happy to introduce you to the folks I know and can give you some tips on backpacking in Sandiego and LA as I have done it twice before this trip, you will have a blast (and a hangover) thats for sure..
Cheers..
