Aloha Lashpair - The Hawaii Thread !!

[Not Afraid]

Are you only going to be in Oahu?

Dukes, located at the Outrigger Waikiki and directly across the street from the International Market. We stayed at that hotel, and loved this landmark bar/restaurant! (Located on a beautiful stretch of Waikiki beachfront as well- lots of eye candy coming from the surf shop next door!)

Speaking of Tiki Rooms. Scuttlebutt is the Tonga Room in the Fairmont will be closing sometime this summer, the victim of the condo-i-zation and rebuilding of the tower, apparently.

So, if you are going to be in SF, might want to swing by for some cool atmosphere, lousy food and expensive drinks. Probably was/is the oldest surviving big room tiki bar. I guess I should visit, too, never been and that's shameful. I had been to the original Trader's Vics here on Cosmo Place (my favorite street name).

Now back to the regularly scheduled real-tiki-world thread.

E and I stayed at that hotel back in 1998. Duke's is awesome.

I don't recommend walking through the International Market at 3am.

I believe was taken from either the hotel restaurant or Dukes at that Outrigger.

Well, I'm easy (but y'all knew that, anyway). Best for us to work around your availability, nothing's been planned at our end yet, except for a Mai Tai at the Pink Palace on our arrival (which is tomorrow week, the 25th). April 1st would be the best day for the drive-round, as it's the day before we leave for SanFrancisco.

Yep - We had a timeshare week up our sleeve so it was the perfect opportunity. You can't break the week into two diffrerent resorts, so we usually plan a week wherever we're swapping.

You'll have to come visit OUR timeshare in Port Macquarie one day !
