So thus ends the SoCal Tiki Tour 2012. 5 days and 32 tiki drinks that I remember. Tried that Ron de Jeremy rum in tiki hell and I've gotta say it was pretty good. Not really a fan of eating or drinking things named after porn stars, especially male porn stars, but it was smooth and no chaser needed.

So here are some funny tiki bar facts that we found out. These are just based on random bars at random times.

Favorite musicians played:
Elvis is first and Dick Dale is second

Favorite songs we heard at more than one bar:
Sleepwalk - Santo and Johnny - my favorite surf song
Runaround Sue - Dion and the Belmonts - seemed like every place was on an oldies kick
Jump in the Line - Harry Belafonte - oddly enough it seemed like we heard lots of songs off the Beetlejuice soundtrack

Things that are the most important when planning your own tiki tour:
Toothbrush with a lot of tooth paste - very important!
Pepto bismol - my wife swears by it but I never had a need
Water - stay hydrated so that you can drink more tiki drinks

I hope this has helped others plan their own tiki tour. It was fun and by the end we were all exhausted. I am going to take a break from drinking for a bit...

Thanks for reading!
