I went back for a closer look at the pix, and I saw another bucket mug doing straw holder duty, plus a menu, and possibly a peanut mug and maybe a bowl? If you look at the shelf behind Jo, right where her elbow is pointing, there appears to be something tiki bowl-like there. Wonder if that smoking lady was lighting up with Islander matches? Can you ask Jo what mai tai recipe they used? Did they make the Trader Vic's version there? Would be great to get the recipe and try a tiki cocktail from the Islander! (Or any Islander recipe she can remember!) Bummer about the Islander table, but at least you got the phone! I can send Jo a pendant, if she wants one! Lemme know!
