Cheers guys - well, my Shag coasters turned up in the mail yesterday so that's the collection growing! I bought all 4 of my mugs at Otto's Shrunken Head in NYC - cheap mass-produced things, but exponentially better than plain glasses - even hurricanes.

One problem is I generally have to buy from the USA, and shipping is a real rip off (coasters were $15.49 shipping - but the set was only $5 so cost was offset somewhat). I really object to ebay sellers charging $20+ to ship one mug to the UK. C'mon - I bought 7 margarita glasses from a USA seller and the shipping cost $20. Oh, and that's when you can even get something shipped abroad - loads of sellers won't. Anyway, I plan to do most tiki shopping on my travels. I just read of the tiki market near Frankie's in Vegas - I can foresee having to pay British Airways' extra bag charge! Obviously I will not leave Vegas until I have bought each of Frankie's mugs too. 4 months to go! Yay!
