Two weeks from today I'll board the California Zephyr in Denver for a vacation that combines some of my various interests.

Following 33 hours on the train, my first stop Saturday evening will be Trader Vic's, then I'll see how feasible it is to get into Forbidden Island.

Sunday I'll head across the Bay to San Francisco and take in a museum or two before visiting Smuggler's Cove. Unfortunately Pagan Idol is closed Sundays.

Monday it's back on the train south along the Pacific coast to LA. Tuesday and Wednesday I'll explore Hollywood. I'll be at Tiki-Ti when it opens Wednesday and also plan to get to Oceanic Arts, but not sure when exactly.

Wednesday evening I'm headed to Anaheim for two days at Disneyland to experience the Enchanted Tiki Room and Trader Sam's (and everything else). Then flying back to Denver that Saturday.

Anybody have suggestions for things not too be missed? Cool stuff a local would recommend? Or things like a thrift store where tiki finds are likely?

Anyone be at the Tiki on August 9 (in addition to Swanky)? I'm also pondering the Coconut Club that Tuesday at Clifton's. I realize people might be prepping for Tiki Oasis, but if anyone wants to meet in person, we can see if something works.
