I can now post one photo per minute instead of every five. Here goes. These are photos from the first two days on the road to Tiki Oasis 15. On our way South we stopped at Santa Barbara to visit my nephew, his wife and one of his sons. Brennan is a glass artist. These are some of his works. As a birthday gift he let me pick one out. I loved the purple one best and I'll be wearing it at Tiki Oasis. Thank you Brennan. Including this dragon. My nephew Kevin gave me a birthday card which was really sweet. Later that day we walked around Ventura California near our hotel and found this store. Too bad it was closed. The next day we left for Carlsbad California to visit Polynesian Paddy and his wife Barbara. If I had a backyard this great I'd never want to leave. He'd designed and built much of it. The yard is a garden of fruits and vegetables. To welcome us to paradise he put one of my tikis out on the table. I felt right at home! Barbara had prepared cut up fruit from their yard and he had made passion fruit sorbet that was outstanding. He even makes wine and gave Dan two bottles to enjoy on our stay at Tiki Oasis. While we were dining the largest beetle I've ever seen buzzed us until it landed and I got these photos. Polynesian Paddy aka Chuck made this planter out of bamboo for planting succulents. After a Mexican lunch in a beautiful setting we left to visit Moai Mike a master gardener. These two men have lots in common and are good friends. Note: my tiki behind him on the right screen. We had fun in Moai Mikes tiki room that he has built. This was the first time we have seen a Timber Cove tiki. Wow! We had a fun visit until it was time to leave for San Diego. By guys see you at Oasis. This is the calm time to be here. Soon it will be a rip roaring party unequaled in the world of tiki parties. It's so much fun to share with all of you. I hope you enjoy seeing our tiki travels. Cheers, Wendy [ Edited by: danlovestikis 2015-08-13 14:51 ]
