Me & the fam are going to be in Lahaina Sat. to next Sat.. am extending an open invitation to all Maui enthusiasts and tiki folk to hop on & help me out in maximizing the tikiness of my vacation with either local hints at where to eat, luaus and definitely where actual tikis ARE..also if anyone wants to meet or show off a home bar or space of exoticness I will buy the rum...can hardly wait to hop on the plane!! Also need thrift store pointers for the entire island

MauiTiki has a great website, with a Tiki Tour!!

http://mauitikitours.com/

have fun.
eat at Tasty Crust...

Have a sunset dinner at Mama's Fish House. The drinks are pretty good - the appetizers are SUBLIME. There's a good handful of Tikis around the grounds, too. Like these guys-

Make reservations soon after your arrival, though. I could go on- there's so much to do in Maui.

road to hana is always my favorite. and if ya wanna know where all the nudebeaches are PM me

ahh..if only

I love that prior to bb moondog's last post, the 3 previous posts were from sun-starved Seattlites hunkering down for the impending 8 months of clouds & rain. It's true- we had no summer here. BB Moondog- send us some sun when you get there! ALOHA!

good god SUMMER....it FINALLY got to feel COLD here and ONLY in the morning..8 years in AZ and I have CEASED to understand how weather changes...and why our news even HAS weathermen on it.

i will go into detail with pix on my next post...needless to say it was GREAT especially in retrospect of me sitting at my WORK DESK now and not being there...but its a fantastic place that we did about a third of and will be BACK...when cash permits.

couple of cell phone pix...two from mamas fish house....

and one from Lahaina Center w/Tiki News

bb- Glad you made it to Mama's Fish House - & good to see that Tiki duo behind you- still smiling, I see. Looking forward to hearing about the rest of your trip!
