Hollywood and Ventura, April 23-30. 2025 - Tiki Travel

H Hamo Grand Member (3 years) Colorado (via Iowa) Joined: Aug 22, 2016 Posts: 2118	H Hamo Posted posted on Sat, Apr 12, 2025 10:26 PM I'm heading back to California in a week and a half. Get into Burbank about 10 Wednesday night, so not sure that I will accomplish anything then, and will be attending the TCM Film Festival Friday-Sunday. I'm still trying to plan Thursday. I knew Tiki-Ti would be on break (which is a bummer, because I haven't been since 2019), and looks like Clifton's is only open Friday-Saturday. Haven't decided on Lucky Tiki, Tonga Hut, or somewhere else(s) yet. Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, maybe I need to stop at Damon's.... Monday and Tuesday I'm heading up to Ventura and am planning on VenTiki both nights. May even trek to Solvang on Tuesday and include a stop at High Roller Tiki. If you are in the area and would like to meet, let me know. I will happily buy you a drink.

Very happy and honored to meet up at Broken Compass with kkocka and GROG. We closed the place down (on a Thursday...)! VenTiki was as enjoyable as ever, but sorry to have missed Elvis.

Always happy to meet Tiki Centralites since I never go to the weekend long events such as Tiki O, Hukilau, etc. Ventiki is the best, hope you made decent progress on your passport.
