If you guys can Wreck a mend any think tiki or must see's let me know I am planning the trip, might hit San Deigeo (Mr tiki and a bamboo shack) or course shelter island, freakey tiki and bali hi. I grew up in LA so I know the way around , LA does not change much. thanks all scott aka tikibad

Hi Scott!
Were you talking about Damon's in Glendale? Bahooka in Rosemead? Sounds like fun! Check out the exhibit on Marc Davis at Glendale Forest Lawn Museum. Sounds like there isn't any Tiki Room stuff, but it should still be great. And, its free!

thanks, thats it damons. I did the tiki road trip 1 year agowith my youngest son while my wife went back to New Zealand to see famialy. Just awsome, we did tiki and old surf shops and boards (still have mine from the 70's, lived in pacfic palisades) but got all sorts of stuff fo the house pool area and my 2 vw busses 67 camper and 62 double cab. we ended the trip at drift resturant and roys the next night in carefree. then the last night at trader vics and valley ho 10 days of fun , really cool. The oldest did not go , but want to do other tiki surf stuff. thanks for the leads. scott
