Album: 2003 Bali Hai - & a trip to Shelter Island, California
Our first trip to Shelter Island, just a few little snapshots.

Album: Humphrey's Half Moon Inn, Shelter Island, San Diego, CA
A late afternoon/ dusky evening exploration of the grounds and gardens of Humphrey's. Truely one of the more exotic locales- and within stumbling distance of the Bali Hai!Perhaps in needs of a few more Tikis, but the surviving Idols are well cared for and quite unique. http://www.halfmooninn.com/

Album: around Shelter Island, San Diego
Pictures from our 2005 explorations of the island. Far as I know, the only place in America that demanded 'polynesian' architecture as part of the original zoning ordinances.

Album: 2005 California Coastal Crawl- San Diego, Bali Hai
Our First major stop on the California Coastal Crawl, an evening at the Bali Hai in San Diego, where we met with San Diegan Tikiphiles!

Album: Islands restaurant and Red Lion Hanalei, May 2005
The now much condensed version of the original Islands Room, and Hanalei hotel (now owned by Red Lion). Still plenty of Tiki to be found- still one of the few "stepping into a postcard" experiences left, but sadly, the much of the Hanalei has been disfigured by the previous owner's "renovations".

Album: Mr. Tiki 2005
Mr. Tiki is a neo Tiki bar in the gaslight district. Their motto is to "Share. v. 1. A joint activity, such as having, using, or experiencing something with others. 2. An integral part of Tiki culture. 3. Mr Tiki says 'Try sharing, you'll make new friends and impress your family'." While they may primarily mean Sharing in realtion to their 'Mondo Martiki' drink for 4- I still like the attitude!
