I have a feeling that the Hawaii of my dreams is sadly unlike the Hawaii of reality.

...Gecko and the other TC'ers living out that dream!

as the Hawaii of the 50's and 60's no longer remains, except in a few areas here and there, Hawaii more and more is, by necessity, a state of mind. In other words, we surround ourselves with that which reminds us of the old Hawaii... we fill our life with more time on da nort' shore and the country, in the older tiki kine establisments, read the old books, hang out at La mariana which helps us easily think we are back in da 60's...

Gecko is doing a great job in helping to re instill the old tiki Hawaii, in that he carves the great old skool tikis and in the sharing and talk story, people remember the old days...
