WoooHoo Great Deals!! Make sure you print out the one for Hawaiian Bills :)
Thanks for the reference CaseyJPS :)

Besides soaking some rays and sipping some refreshing drinks by the pool there are some other "activities" to do while in Palm Springs.....Someone mentioned El Paseo (the desert version of Rodeo Drive,) The aerial tramway, Zeldaz Friday night, the Air Museum and the Desert Museum, did I mention sipping some cool refreshing drinks?

I also happened to have a copy of the Tiki Treasure Map that Otto so graciously provided us at Tiki Oasis 5.

Print those coupons to save some money on food!!!!!!!

WooooHooooOOOOOO!

13 more days!!!!!!!!!

Does this place look familiar? http://www.hawaiianbills.com WoooHooo can't wait :)

I saw a show of this group at a friend luau and i would recommend if anybody needs a show in Cali or Nevada. They provide Hawaiian Dancers, Polynesian packages, and much more.

Another Island Paradise to check out while in the desert http://www.Haleiwajoes.com

Here is a Review of Hawaiian Bills wriiten by Tikiblog:

Hawaiian Bill's Pau Hana Grill
We went to a new hawaiian restaurant in Palm Springs yesterday, Hawaiian Bill's Pau Hana Grill, and you know what, it was ONO! Finally, some real hawaiian food here in the desert. We tried their Kalua Pork, Kook-su Saimin, Lomi Lomi Salmon and of course, Poi.

The Kalua Pork was excellent, not withstanding that they serve it with mixed veggies instead of cabbage, but we attribute that to ha'ole tastes. The Kook-su Saimin was a different variation from the typical char siu pork and fish cake that we knew from the islands, instead using ground beef, but was very, very ono. Of course, we know that there are many different recipes for Saimin, and this is probably one of Bill's family recipes, so although different from the standard Saimin, it is maybe better (and this from a true lover of fishcake). They also have a grill cooking meat on the patio by the pool, so if you order the huli-huli chicken or ribs, they go and pull your dinner off the bbq and then bring it straight to you.

We had a hard time finding some items on the menu; the lau lau, poi, and lomi lomi salmon as examples, but once found (marked in a small line on the bottom of the menu stating they can make these specialties as requested), we had to try them out. The poi was a two finger poi (maybe one finger as it was that thick) but we enjoyed it none the less. The lomi lomi salmon was absolutely spectacluar though! It was the best lomi lomi salmon we have ever tasted, either on the islands or on the mainland. On top of this, the Mai-Tai's we got from the bar were wicked strong, so they are definitely worth the purchase.

All in all, we found Hawaiian Bill's a great addition to the many restaraunt choices we have here in the desert (& this coming from admitted food snobs), so we plan to visit Hawaiian Bill's quite often. You can check out the restaraunt menu, and their story, by going to the palmsprings.com Hawaiian Bill's page.

Just got off the phone with Caliente Tropics.....They only have 5 King rooms left for this weekend. NO Double Queens for Saturday night! If you're still on the fence-Get off it and come have some fun in the sun!!!

ALSO.....If you have a reservation, please call Randy Rassmussen (manger) at 888-277-0999 and verify your Tiki Central rate and Luau reservations (and Drink Certificates).....He thinks that some might not have mentioned the package deal named "Tiki Central".

114 degrees today in Palm Springs!!!!

We're checking in around 2pm on Friday and will host a mini-party for all who are coming early (or late!) 562-500-9800 cell phone. I'll bring the King Kukulele, Ape, Martini Kings CD's....Tiki Oasis flashbacks!!!!

Elianore and I are looking forward to this weekend. We will see you all Saturday early afternoon. Can't wait.

WOOOOHOOOOOO! Viva Palm Springs here we come. Looking forward to seeing everyone at The Tropics :)

Talk about a roaster!!! 114-118 this weekend!!! Thanks the tiki gods for the pool and the mai-tai's!!!

Yes. It's ridiculously hot in Palm Springs this weekend. Staying in the pool and enjoying a cocktail while you swim is the only way to go.

We're all having a fabulous time though. Heat be damned.

WooHoo! What a Weekend :) Mucho Mahalo to everyone at The Caliente Tropics & Hawaiian Bill's for going out of their way to make us feel so Welcomed. Double WooHooo to Soccertiki, Al-ii, Tiki-Kate, Tikiblog, Mexican Tiki, Hiltiki, Elianore, Dean and The Laguna Niguel Clan, and all of the TC Lurkers that we met for making it so much fun being stuck in a 105+ weather. Caliente Tropics is still a Tiki Paradise :)

Here are a few pics of the Caliente Tropics Luau in case you missed it. There are more at tikiblog.com in the Luau album.

Unga-I think that when the temperature drops we'll definitely work on getting a BIG group out there! It was extremely hot out there! But, we met some new "Tiki" friends and met some "TC lurkers" as well!!! (Hello Principal Deanne and Rodeo Paul) AND...It wouldn't have been a party without Al-ii making drinks in our room before the luau!!!!!

I think we left the luau to the sounds of distant "WooHoo's" from both young and old and male and female!!!

H

Elianore and I had a great time even with the temperature rising every other minute. Nice meeting everyone new and old, and hope to see you all soon.
