Hey Hanford,

That's fantastic news about the Don the Beachcomber re-opening.I saw it as i checked in to the Hotel and freaked out. I jumped out of my car and ran to the door to find out it had closed down, i was gutted to say the least.I thought i'd discovered the long lost bar that had never closed.I spoke to a guy at the hotel who said the bar had opened and closed a few times over the years.Anyway the sign was there when i was in Maui in October 2002.
I think the carver that you bought the great two tone tiki from was at the front of a market place on the main street.I bought a few tikis from a guy ,i think his name was 'King Nonu' in the crafty market by the harbour area that mentioned.
Reckon the $100 you paid to ship your tiki back was a good deal, i dread to think what it would cost to ship to England.I paid over $300 to get a three foot tiki shipped from Florida a good few years ago.
