Finally back now and settled in after a late start home this morning and several antique-mall-stops on the way. HUGE thanks to Potato for getting this set up! I was surprised to learn that NO ONE in our group actually lived in Omaha! It was a great meet-up of like-minded, dedicated tiki fans! Here we all are in the Tea Room. Clockwise from top right: Potato and soon to be Mrs. Potato, Mr. and Mrs. WestADad, Mr. and Mrs. SilverLine, and Mr. and Mrs. Mfachman, all about to enjoy a great meal. (Special thanks to our waitress for getting this shot!) We were all pleased to find that the recent remodeling really hadn't changed anything. I heard there was a slight flood in the Mai Tai Lounge downstairs that dictated new carpet and overall cleaning, but the colors and decor remain the same. After finishing dinner we headed down to the Mai Tai Lounge for drinks. The Zombies and Mai Tais, were the most popular, followed by the Planter's Punch, Fog Cutter, Tropical Itch, and Navy Grog. More, please! To our surprise, the owner (standing in the center, below) came down and presented us all with new T-shirts to show her appreciation! Huge thanks to her for putting up with us! So, is Mai Tai Mike still there, you ask? Come on! Where else would he be? He's busy as ever; the place was PACKED when we left and a bus-load (yes, a BUS LOAD) had just arrived to take our still-warm seats. I really can't image this place closing anytime soon. Here's Mike (left) with his new bartender, Andrew Lambert. We had a GREAT time! It was wonderful to meet everybody and we're really looking forward to doing this again! Right now, I need to PM somebody about some rum! Thanks for a fantastic night! Classic Silver Line Boats [ Edited by: SilverLine 2013-10-20 11:22 ]
