I ikitnrev Tiki Socialite D.C. / Virginia Joined: Jul 27, 2002 Posts: 1325	I ikitnrev Posted posted on Wed, Feb 25, 2004 3:08 PM I will be flying into San Diego for a business trip on Monday, March 8, and currently departing the following Saturday afternoon (Mar 13) It appears that most of my evenings from Wednesday on will be free, so I'm wondering who in the area would be up for a Mai-tai, or could otherwise provide guidance on what nearby tiki sights to see. I will be staying at the Hilton San Diego Mission Valley. Vern

The SO-So-Cal Hoity-Toities are the bestest! And SSCHT's, you will love this man! I'm tempted to hop a plane just to get to hang with you all again. Sigh I can feel the future mutual-love-fest from here. (COME, September, Come! Come, Hukilau, come!!)

I'm about 10 miles down the road from the Hilton. I think the Hanalei would be a good start, but I'm flexible.

I ikitnrev Tiki Socialite D.C. / Virginia Joined: Jul 27, 2002 Posts: 1325	I ikitnrev Posted posted on Sun, Feb 29, 2004 2:51 PM Great! The anticipation level for my trip has heightened considerably, now that I know I'll be getting together with other like minded tiki folk. I will probably not have access to the internet during my trip, so we'll have to figure out the best way to stay in touch once I arrive in CA. I will probably know what my schedule is in the next few days. Vern
I ikitnrev Tiki Socialite D.C. / Virginia Joined: Jul 27, 2002 Posts: 1325	I ikitnrev Posted posted on Sun, Mar 7, 2004 7:32 PM All I have to do is pack, wake up tomorrow morning, and drive to the airport ... and through the wonders of modern jet travel, transform myself from a East-Coaster to a West-Coaster. As for tiki plans, I've set the goal of making it to Bali Hai and the Half Moon Inn on Wednesday evening .... mark your calendars. Friday afternoon I'm thinking of swinging north to the Oceanside/Vista area ... and I guess I will be quite flexible for my other evenings. The number of the Hilton hotel I will be staying at is 619-543-9000 (under the name Vern Stoltz) I will keep in touch with those who have shared their tiki phone numbers with me. Looking forward to meeting you all.... Vern

Melting? HA! Bring it on, man. You're forgetting -- I lived in Hawaii when I was a little girl. I moved down here for a reason, and that reason was HEAT! Well, and tiki. But mostly heat. Vern -- I'm still up for a get-together on Friday... I've never had a chance to really sit and chat with you. My number is 206-349-1362, let me know if there is anything in particular brewing for Friday, or else I'm sure I'll catch you at one tiki event or another! Ben, Al & the boys -- have fun storming the castle!

K kctiki Member Kansas City Joined: Apr 22, 2003 Posts: 439	K kctiki Posted posted on Mon, Mar 15, 2004 7:37 PM Just want to say how much I enjoyed meeting ikitnrev & everyone else at the Bali Hai last Wednesday. Southern California really is all it's cracked up to be. Even the Marine training base is picturesque! The warm welcome & grand tour from the gracious San Diego tiki folks was the crowning touch. My son joined me at the Half Moon Inn on Friday. He loved the place and said it is really fat(?) kctiki & Private Bub at the Half Moon Inn

I ikitnrev Tiki Socialite D.C. / Virginia Joined: Jul 27, 2002 Posts: 1325	I ikitnrev Posted posted on Sat, Mar 20, 2004 11:46 PM Thanks to everyone who showed up at the Bali Hai when I was in town 2 weeks ago - I had a great time meeting all of you, and hopefully I will be able to make a return visit, and visit those home tiki bars I missed this time around. Here are a few of my favorite pictures from our Wednesday dinner. Closeup of the Bali Hai Carving Bali Hai Mug displayed in the Bali Hai Carving Earring I was taking some pictures of some carvings, so I set my Bali Hai mug down. Shipwreck Joey was walking through, struck this pose (he did not see my mug there) and the result is this pic, which shows what a Bali Hai codpiece might look like if such a thing existed Bali Hai Patrons(L to R) Dale, Kick_the_Reverb, ModMana, Ric, OnaTiki, Sally, Shipwreck_Joey, Shelley, Al, KCTiki I finally made it to the Bali Hai!!! (taken after a few drinks) Vern

Nice pics Vern. I think you perfectly captured the spirit of the evening. We'll have to do this again sometime.
