While hanging out at the Mai Kai this past weekend I got to thinking about Tiki bars I've been to, and those I had just missed. I feel so happy to have seen the Tiki places I have and just wanted to reiterate something I have said to many in the past-don't take any of them for granted!! Make a list of the top ten or so ones you want to visit and do your best to visit them. It doesn't really matter if it is an old Palace like the Mai Kai or a new place like Forbidden Island. Some great new places like the Hale Tiki and the Kahiki Moon only got to be around for a few short years. DON'T EVER ASSUME that the older the place is the longer it will stay around-the value of the real estate of many of the old places are worth more than running the business--remember the Kahiki? Do what you can to visit them. Good luck--I have a list in my head. Too many Tiki bars, not enough time! (or money). Support your tiki!

Mr. Smiley is the most thirstiesterest of
all!
Have a nice Tiki Day!
