My tiki-centric trip to Central Florida - General Tiki

When in Orlando, you kind of have to suspend your "inner tiki purist" and take what you can get...i.e., the "Mai Tiki" japanese restaurant on International Drive- from the outside, you think you've found a real tiki oasis, AND the interior is pretty well decked out, but NONE OF THE STAFF are in on it! I spent about $20 on a custom made volcano bowl by ordering correct rums/juices/etc., instead of their usual house swill, but I would'nt want to make a habit of that. And, of course I was the only dork in the place wearing an aloha shirt, including the staff. At the end of the pier, out over the ocean, there was a little hut with tikis surrounding it, but it was closed. Perhaps during the summer season you can get a drink there. Yep, they sure do sell a lot of beer! Go for the fishing which is good, but don't expect a "real" tropical drink unless you bring it with you.
