Hi all,
New forum member and long-time tiki afficianado who is making the trip up from Australia for our first Tiki Oasis. Just wondered if anyone could offer a bit of advice. We are staying at the event on Friday and Saturday night. Is it worth planning an extra day in San Diego on Sunday for the sole purpose of going to Bali Hai and any other tiki-esque sites of interest if we are already visiting Tonga Room in San Fran and MaiKai in Ft Lauderdale on the same trip? Unfortunately, we have a really tight schedule this trip. Any advice appreciated : )

while the Bali Hai itself is not a grand Tiki temple on the scale of Tonga Room, Mai Kai, etc. there is a lot of history there, good food and drinks made from vintage, original recipes. Across the street is Humphreys Half Moon Inn and at the entrance to Shelter Island is Trader Mort's liquor store. Shelter Island as a whole is a nice Tiki relic to behold. That is my biased opinion, cheers.
