Yay! I'm finally up and running on my new Macbook with Photoshop installed and ready to process some pix!

So, I received an enormous box from Tropical Icebergs... I opened it up, and EVERYTHING was individually wrapped! I felt like a kid on Christmas! or, no, like it was my birthday, 'cos all the gifts were for me!!! There was a lovely note from them, too!

I started unwrapping... one of the first things was a great CD of Hawaiian music... popped it in the CD player and it was the perfect soundtrack!

Here's a list of the incredible haul:
The Hawaiian CD
A coconut monkey
A pineapple shaped bottle of pineapple scented bubbles
A mini moai fish tank decoration (keeping my fish company as I type)
Two Hawaiian magnets
A post card from Ron Jon Surf Shop
A box of Hawaiian Host Kona Caramacs, coffee flavored caramel, Macadamia nuts, chocolate... long gone!
A 10oz. bag of Hawaiian Gold Kona coffee... delish!
A set of Surf Shack Ice Pop makers... they look like little icebergs... a nod to "Tropical Icebergs", perhaps?
A deck of Tiki Drink Cards
A t-shirt for Tiki Tok bar and restaurant in Cozumel
A Tanuki mug from Benihana of Tokyo (Very Cool!)
A green tiki mug with a Kona Coffee Grog recipe
and perhaps the oddest and coolest thing... A Trader Vic's Shingle Stain... um... thing... it's made out of cardboard, and folds in half, with a hole on the top... I believe it goes on the top of a drinking glass, and a straw goes through the hole... is there a drink called the Shingle Stain at Trader Vic's?

Oh, almost forgot... a carved bamboo tiki pendant... I put it on immediately, and it didn't end up in the pix!

And the box was filled with TIKI CONFETTI!! Can you believe they even make that?
What an AWESOME tiki haul!

MAHALO, Tropical Icebergs!!!
