LoriLovesTiki the flowers of Hawaii inspire me to paint. If only I had the time.

hang10tiki inspired by Dan's growing beard? You actually made Dan laugh. I think he's cute in this one.

bamalamalu than you so much. I really appreciate everyone who reads this thread. I spend a lot of time here. I enjoy all the posts and making art for so many collectors. 13 days would have been perfect, 17 days caused us to repeat too much.

RVICTOR you must have been tired after that day, wow. So you could go around without retracing your steps in a jeep. I would have gone to Hana if I could have gone all the way around.

============================================

More days on the island of Maui, Hawaii. Our travel agent is Woo Hoo Wahine here on Tiki Central. If you ever need help with a trip she's the one to hire. You don't need to live near her for the job to be well done.

Woo Hoo gave us a $100 gift certificate to use at Mama's Fish House. This place is so well guarded. First you must have a reservation to even park! We passed the first place and the valet took our car away. Then we went to a desk where they checked our reservation and when it was found they let us pass through the gate.

The first tiki we saw was this one. Who made the mug that matches it? Please post a photo.

We walked the trail to paradise. The ocean there was rough on rocks and stunningly beautiful.

The restaurant faces this view.

We walked through this arch to the next sentry.

We were confirmed and taken to our seats at a window. We were thrilled.

We ordered two club soda's $3 each and a crab cake appetizer. $20

A salad for Dan. $20

A salad for myself. $20

My entrée $36

My entrée $36

The service, with smiles and personality, was beyond any we have ever had. You use a fork it is removed and replaced. We had all our needs anticipated.

With tax gratuity and parking the lunch (dinner menu had the same prices) was close to $180. Thank you Woo Hoo for this experience. This was the most expensive but exquisite meal of our lives. What made it really special was the best view we had on our trip.

Is there any way to have a meal as good as Mama's Fish House? We tried, we went to Hula's on the Beach.

For lunch we ordered Hula Pie, the second best lunch on the island. We already have this plate hanging in our kitchen at home.

In fact I confess we ordered two. We will be working this off for weeks.

On another day we went to small towns searching for tiki mugs. Here Dan found a green and a raspberry Toby mug.

In an art gallery I think this tiki was $3000.

We drove on past cane fields.

In the next small town he found a Treasure Craft coconut mug that he'd never seen before.

Another tiki for thousands of dollars. Don't we all love our mainland carvers?

Back at the hotel Dan caused a riot feeding the birds some whole grain wheat bread we bought at a store. Dan needed this activity while I post on TC.

Our trip is not yet over I hope you will gain a few ideas if not pounds looking at our photos.

Cheers, Wendy
