I got give the little pentax Optimo credit for the great pics. It's the same camera that Martiki and Mai Tai have. It really is takes awesome shots and is very easy to use. (on sale it Costco for around $300.00) Off to luau tonight :D and then back home tomorrow :( I will try and get another page of pics up tonight. Today was spent on a shady lanai recovering from to much sun and rum. Aloha, Chongolio the crisp. -- I believe that our Heavenly Father invented the monkey because he was disappointed in man." ...

Joined: Feb 15, 2003 Posts: 3006	F freddiefreelance Posted posted on Fri, Jun 10, 2005 6:56 AM Oooh, while I'm thinking of it: if you find the Luau or the Hotel Lanai with tiki pole supports from Lilo & Stitch, could you take a picture? The Luau had thatch roofed covered table areas with a Tiki pole support holding up the ridgepole at either end. The Hotel Lanai had thinner tiki poles spaced around it supporting the wood/bamboo lattice that supported strings of lanterns (I can't remember if the lanterns were paper or tiki lanterns).

Sorry, FF. I didn't have time to search for the place you talking about. Aloha oe, Chongolio

C Chongolio Member The Coast of Kauai Joined: Oct 02, 2002 Posts: 2765	C Chongolio Posted posted on Sat, Jun 11, 2005 12:20 PM Well back home in the cold and fog :( regarding lack of tiki shots, sadly I didn't see very many good ones. Mostly the touristy looking stuff. There was a good sized one at the airport and a fairly big plastic one at the luau, but for the most part I didn't come across to many that I wanted pics of. Pablus, I heard about Raymond Rapoza from a couple of the Music shops I went into. I didn't get to stop by his shop though or get to admire any of his ukes. There just was not enough time. Having to share our one rental car with a bunch of girls on a shopping mission kind of left me high and dry, but I am not complaining. Lanakia Ukes were definately being represented in the music shops on Kauai. I am already planning my next trip Chongolio -- I believe that our Heavenly Father invented the monkey because he was disappointed in man." ...
