Prikli Pear Oh, but please do say! This is the really fun part for me. Thank you.

Piddersthecat you are welcome. Dan is always searching for something to snag.

HopeChest if it works for you it works for me. I learned a lot.

hang10tiki gosh I should have felt them long enough to remember. He ran off with them too fast. I don't even know what room they are in.

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

We are at Tiki Oasis. The few days before it started have been very quiet and peaceful. That is about to end.

We were at a wonderful family reunion so we just had to travel from Santa Barbara to San Diego. Most of the trip was easy but a few times it looked like this.

We left at 4am and got to the hotel at 8am. Of course our room wasn't ready until 2PM. So we went to Old Town to Dan's favorite restaurant Café Coyote.

After that we drove to Ocean Beach to Newport Street to the big antique mall. I found the best ever mid-century cat.

Going to Tiki Mans booth is an absolute must.

He has so many tikis and they are all marked on sale 20% off right now.

Tuesday was August 8th my birthday. Dan took me to the Bali Hai.

At the end of our lunch they brought me a delicious desert.

Our fun is going to thrift stores looking for record albums for Dan.

This is the view outside our hotel room at the Crowne Plaza. We were on the waiting list and they called just before we left.

On this day of record hunting we found a Martin Denny album we didn't know existed.

When we left the shop it looked like all the white PT cruiser owners had the same shopping idea.

The outside stage decorations are going up.

And the inside decorations are up and perfect. Good job TikiLand.

Today we were off to the home of lunavideogames aka Treg. This is his home bar.

I love the washer/drier disguises.

We delived his mug order. These are based on Star Wars with Jaba the Hut and Leia (I had to look that up).

He calls the mug Tiki the Hut.

I was so honored by the fact that Tuvara Tiki, Heather and hang10tiki all showed up wearing my necklaces. How kind was that? Very!

hang10tiki brought my treasure Swap tiki. Wow how impressive is this. He carved the eyes and mouth deep enough to have the darker center wood show up. Beautiful. It is based on a Kon Tiki Ports mug. I love it.

But not for long. Dan showed up to take it away.

lunavideogames aka Treg and Brandon worked magic in the bar using fresh mint.

Meg a contestant for Miss Tiki Oasis showed up. If voting is still open she would love to have your vote.

Tonight starts at the Bali Hai but we already are in our room for the night. We don't want to lose our parking space. There are not enough for everyone staying at the hotel. That is because they use part of the parking lot for a wonderful car show. Something for everyone here.

Say hi if you see us. Tomorrow the art show begins at 10 am it is always fun to see where my art has been hung.

Cheer, Wendy
