Hello Tiki-folks, my planets have aligned and I am in the middle of a tiki road trip! I will start this post two weeks ago at Don the Beachcomber, Kailua-Kona, on the Big Island of Hawaii! A very cool resturant and bar right on the Pacific Ocean. Don's flight of mini Mai-tais. From left to right: Don's Green Flash, Topless, Don's Original, and Pele's Volcanic. Don's Original mai-tai. Yes, it was a little windy while I was there. This past weekend I went to Trader Dick's last day. Dick's mai-tai was quite good! Too bad there were no mugs left. That's all for right now. Tune in for the next installment in a few days! |

My husband and I went to Don the Beachcomber on the Big Island in August. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip! I look forward to your journey. Where is Trader Dick's? |

More fire dancing. Ironically, I'm in the airport and I can't get one if these, a jet pilot! |
