The allure of sending him across the country was too great too pass up. I will be sending him off today. The trip was wonderful. It was the first one where Dan got to have lots of downtime to relax and enjoy a recliner. I like more action. This is the most time I've ever spent at a beach. Next time I'll rent a jeep like RVICTOR and go all the way around the other volcano. JenTiki he is on his way and I've posted this on his thread under General Tiki. Thank you. I hope you like the necklace. TikiHula you make me blush. I am super happy with how he turned out and I'll forever be thankful that Tyber Tiki's wish pushed me forward into the unknown. ========================================== The trip to Maui, Hawaii will finish with these photos and then I'm back to showing the art of the Wish List. We had a perfect time without any injuries. This photo was taken at the Westin, Kaanopoli Beach. I'm sharing it so you can see how Dan's, first time, beard is growing. We spent most of the day watching the waves. At night it was TV because we don't go out much at night. Between movies this came on and we thought the rock looked like a Moai. OK that's a stretch. All of the resorts have menehunies that come out in the night to rake leaves and to keep the resorts manicured. One morning we almost saw one. I thought his leaf piles were pretty. Using a zoom lens this was the view from our room. We were upgraded for free on day one from a garden view to a partial ocean view. I have to say that we looked at this very little so if we'd paid for it that would have been a waste. We walked on to Duke's for our last meal before heading home. Nope not my footprint. It was a good day for waves. This is the view once again from Duke's. I think it was our favorite restaurant view that was affordable. One last Hula Pie and one last sunset. We have an obsession with never being late. Dan said, "this is ridiculous". We did get to say hi to a cleaning crew. So when it opened up we went for a long meal of sandwiches and chips. They were out of bananas for Dan. We walked for hours through gift shops with tacky tikis. Once on the plane I took a beard update photo. Goodbye Maui, Maui Rob and Beachbumz. Thank you. We had a great time. We are now home and we have unpacked all the fun things. These are my souvenirs. The combs are for removing wax from surf boards. I'm going to try them out with clay. We went to thrift stores and I found some shot glasses. The straws were big and sturdy. Again I use them with clay. Dan didn't mess around he was after TIKIs. Close up. The necklaces were a gift from Beachbumz. Thank you Scott. More gifts from Scott. Wow, it didn't end there. Beachbumz aka Scott also gave us the tiki holding the pineapple. A mug we had lusted after. I'll have to figure out a thank you because this was over the top generous. He made all of these mugs and Dan purchased 6. Look how they hide most of our ping pong table. These arrived from Maui Rob. The three on the left all alterations of the same mug. It's the tiki from our hotel. Here's the tiki for comparison. How fun is this? VERY! Beachbumz and Maui Rob have wonderful tikis for sale. They are here on Tiki Central and easy to contact. One last pretty photo of our trip. =================================================== Progress Report on Wish List #5. I am working on Rasta Bob or Tiki Bob Marley. This Wish was from Tiki Wahine aka Lynn. Last year was the Rat Fink at Disneyland. I started with Bob and a cast ornament that I will make the hat from. I just start adding clay. The ornament gives me an empty base shape. The hat is going to look like Mr. Marley's hat. She gives me excellent drawings to use while making her Wish. I rolled out lots of snakes for the hair. More tomorrow. This one is a challenge with the guitar and all.

The trip to Maui, Hawaii will finish with these photos and then I'm back to showing the art of the Wish List.
We had a perfect time without any injuries.

We spent most of the day watching the waves.

One last Hula Pie and

one last sunset.

We have an obsession with never being late. Dan said,

"this is ridiculous".

We did get to say hi to a cleaning crew.

We walked for hours through gift shops with

tacky tikis.

Once on the plane I took a beard update photo.

Goodbye Maui, Maui Rob and Beachbumz. Thank you.

We had a great time.

Progress Report on Wish List #5. I am working on Rasta Bob or Tiki Bob Marley.

This Wish was from Tiki Wahine aka Lynn. Last year was the Rat Fink at Disneyland.
I started with Bob and a cast ornament that I will make the hat from.

I just start adding clay. The ornament gives me an empty base shape.

The hat is going to look like Mr. Marley's hat.

She gives me excellent drawings to use while making her Wish.

I rolled out lots of snakes for the hair.

More tomorrow. This one is a challenge with the guitar and all.
