Maybe we should bring a couple of "backup" pineapples, just in case they run out at Hong Kong Inn? - LOL |

Alene and I will be at the Rincon Room for sure... especially because the Beachcomber shack is 1.2 miles away! We might also cruise to the Hong Kong, depending on the trade winds, tides, and planetary alignment! Ha ha! |

OK, I received email RSVP confirmations from everyone on the bus list EXCEPT A-Frame and PiPhiRho... Please let me know if you're still planning on attending. Here's an article on the HKI from 1972 that Dustycajun posted. Uncle Jimmy and Uncle Tommy are still keepin' it real...
And the drink menu that Boris sent me. You get a lot of value for your Tiki dollar in Ventura !!... The bus leaves promptly next Saturday from the Tonga Hut at 7pm. :) |

Lisa Marie has concocted a special event cocktail at the Tonga Hut just for us. The original Trade Winds might be an empty lot but you can savor its essence with her "Spirit of the Trade Winds" cocktail. It's the milk of Paradise :)... |

Yes the Tonga Hut makes it 3... BUT I also have a 4th significant Tiki site that the bus will be visiting (traffic permitting). Tiki isn't just about fun, food, and frozen pineapple drinks, it's also about knowing your Tiki history. It's about worshiping our Tiki ancestors !! Tiki Central = LEARNING. :) |
