How much escapism is too much escapism? - General Tiki

Yesterday I was picking up some friends from LAX airport and went through that really long tunnel under the runway. For a split second I was mentally transported to the caves and tunnels of Tom Sawyers island at Disneyland when I was a little kid. It was a carefree time, when I felt like a monkey jumping and running around those rocks. I had a wood pirate gun wedged in my belt, and a straw hat. That split second of relief from reality changed my whole outlook for the rest of the time finding parking, finding them, etc. Not enough escape is probably more prominent that too much escape. One thing I've noticed with Tiki friends and Tiki people I meet, we are all creative people, with the desire to create an environment worthy of our visions, either from the past, or an alternative where we live an exotic island life. With each purchase of a vintage item, or a new Tiki mug, its like a ticket in a time machine to go where ever you want. How often can you buy a plane ticket to where ever you want for the price and time it takes for a Tiki mug, or tourist tiki from Ebay or an exotic cocktail from the Tiki Ti, Tonga Hut, etc?
