Hello Tiki-Centralites!

I've been working with the folks at the fabulously restored 1957 era Caribbean Motel in Wildwood Crest NJ to have a fun Vintage / Tiki Weekend at their property on the weekend of May 15-17, 2015. Would love to see you all there!

The Caribbean is a great vintage motel and Wildwood will certainly appeal to the mid-century lovers in the tribe, and as you know I love sharing Cool Vintage Places with people who will dig them!

This is the first of these weekends and if it is successful I hope they'll do it more often.

Here's a link to the info, but for those of you who don't like clicking, I've also cut and pasted it below:

Jim's entering the fashion show and I'd volunteer Randy for the limbo contest but his back would never make it.
Me? I'll cheer, with a mai tai in hand.

You had me at Mai Tai's Panda!

Can't wait to see current friends (Pauly, Jim & Randy) and make some new ones!

Just a heads up to anyone following this thread and hasn't made their room reservations yet - only 10 rooms left as of 3/5/15! Also, because of the way this weekend is being run by the motel itself, it is only open to people staying at the motel.

Here's the link to make reservations :)
