Thank you.
Thank you Dogbytes for recommending Clifton's - it was indeed quite an experience.
Thank you Tikiyaki for recommending Kona - cool, cool place and a surprising vegetarian selection in the menu.
Thank you so very much Bigtikidude for everything! For meeting us on Saturday in Kona for an early dinner and a drink and for telling us that Tiki Ti was open; for meeting us on Sunday in Hi Times in Costa Mesa for rum shopping (we weren't stopped by customs so all 3 bottles arrived safely to the home bar); and for inviting us over to your house on Monday, to sip some rum, look at your collection, for all your information and for the generousity. The Harvey and the coconut mug are proudly placed in the front of our ikea display cabin and the Tikiyaki Orchestra CD is still in the stereo, 2 days after we returned home and played it while unpacking - we love it.

Thank you, Matt Reese and Bosko, for opening the doors to your private home bars to us. You guys sure gave us something to aspire to.

This short trip to SoCal was one of the best we have taken so far and the human factor is the main reason for it (and the cocktails too, but cocktails are mixed by people).

Hope to see you all again on our next visit.
