And trust me they went often. My first word may have been Mai Tai. Their favorite haunt was the Coconut Grove during the war and the Reef in Long Beach but given a chance they were off to Bali Hai. Dad carved some Tiki's for our house in Culver City, had a tiki bar and collected Mugs back in the 50's. I had a tumultuous relationship with my folks but one thing always united us, Tiki. They are both gone but will be remembered each time a Mai Tai is lifted in this family.
