F.Y.I. the Bali Hai Boys: Only briefly mentioned by me in the Book of Tiki, they are nevertheless THE quintessential Polynesia drop outs, who, right at the peak of the Tiki craze in 1960, put into practice what everybody else was just dreaming about (and very successfully so!): They quit their mainland jobs and built themselves a native hut in paradise: The first stilt bungalow resort in the South Seas.
