I feel like resurrecting an ancient thread today...

I actually got two of my grails when I went to great store in Edmonton, Alberta, this past summer. They had The Connoisseur and an Armada Geddon in stock. Now what?

My remaining grails are really, mostly just "pre-shopping" for great looking mugs I would get if I went to these various Tiki bars. I would like to go to Smuggler's Cove and get a Crazy Al's Sunken Tiki. And I would like to go to Frankie's and get a Tiki Bandit. And go to La Mariana and get a Blue Glass Float mug. And a Ports of Pleasure from Psycho Suzi. And an Urchin from Three Dots and a Dash. Heck, I even think the Maui Cheeseburger in Paradise mug is adorable.

That said, while my chances of getting to Las Vegas are really good (we're planning on doing the Utah-Arizona National Parks grand circle tour in a couple years), and San Fran and maybe Honolulu and Maui aren't implausible, I don't expect that I'll ever be getting to Chicago or Minneapolis. I also know I don't have the cash for what most people want on the secondary market for those. One can dream, I suppose!

My absolute grail, though, whether I get there or not, is Disney's Nautilus. Being a huge Jules Verne/20,000 Leagues Under the Sea fan, that's a must-get. I just gotta' keep my fingers crossed that next time my friend go to WDW they'll have them in stock (last time they went, they were out! $%@#&!). On a similar, Disney note, I always wished I had gotten the Pele mug when I had the chance. But I'm not sure my wife would let me have it now...
