I am also considering having an "open tiki house" for TCers who may want to stop by and see the Wall O' Tiki and the Tropical Tiki Gardens on site here at my pad.. The Wall in progress: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=6613&forum=5 The Gardens: http://www.tiki-shirts.com/gallery/album43 If anybody was planning on doing a drive like that and would be interested, let me know :) [ Edited by: fatuhiva 2006-08-13 18:44 ]

I'd be interested in seeing your place. Kern M. and I were just talking about it last weekend. Map it up. Hey, if I brought over some ginger I transplanted from Hawai'i and some Buddha-Belly bamboo could I get a small shock of that black bamboo? Nice to see you back. Has Wayne Coombs hunted you down yet? :wink:

Found most of the tiki in the area but would be interested in what I've missed!

We're still unclear on our schedule on the way down, but whether in your neck of the palm trees or at Hukilau itself it'd be great to meet up and swap space coast Tiki turf tales.

Maybe in January next year, so, more stuff to see is always good! Swank Blather- Talkin' atcha [ Edited by: swanky 2006-08-14 07:49 ]

Bern's Steak House or bust! I've done the Fort Lauderdale to Daytona route in the past and there was a lot to see. It was a thrill to see Cocoa Beach as I'm a big "I Dream of Jeanie" fan.

F fatuhiva Member Melbourne Beach, FL Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 638	F fatuhiva Posted posted on Mon, Aug 14, 2006 6:15 PM OK sounds like there's enough interest then! I'll start getting addresses together, etc and then make a tour via google maps- I'll have it start in Cocoa Beach and work its way south Barring any hurricane hell this season, I will have the tikiroom open for TC perusal leading up to the Hukilau Lake Surfer- I live in Melbourne Beach, and we get some nice surf here when there's swell. I just watched CJ Hobgood surfing today up in Satellite- we had a nice chest high swell today and into tommorow.. happened to notice him cross the street, so me and my 3 year old decided to eat our Happy Meals on the beach and watch the action :) If you want any surfing company, or wanna check out any beaches down south a bit, say maybe Sebastian Inlet, thats my area- hit me up!

Thats Bambusa Lako 'Timor Black' getting a cutting is a bit involved, but I will be transplanting a clump sometime over the next 6 months and I will divide off a shoot for you. I am up to my ears in bamboo at this point, so I dont need anymore, but I do remember you saying you had alot of heliconia varities? (drool)
