Yes, it is your Big Kahuna finally checking in. Between my traveling for work and TC being on the fritz the past couple of days I could not get it together and get on the site.
Of course Birdgirl and I also have only great things to say about the Tour - fantastic people, fantastic tiki joints, fantastic drinks, fantastic hangovers.
Bargoyle and Pappy - well above and beyond. Thanks for what was obviously a TON of work to put this together.
and BTW, I can't thank Pappy enough for posting the video from the Hu Ke Lau. Really. Thanks. So much.
Joe & Nicole
And if you all are not yet sick of seeing photos, here's about 200 more:

Im sooooooooo depressed...... all the pictures are awesome, all the memories live on in my mind. I'm depressed cause they're just memories! I wish it was tiki tour weekend today! Gonna have to go out for a half dozen Mai Tais and 4 Pu Pu platters by myself this weekend. Ill tie on the swag bag and see if my local joints will drop anything in it. Kinda like trick or treating... Tiki style! By the way.. Waitiki... I wore out my CD's, and I gotta get a turntable so I can open my vinyl.
What room does the round robin start in tonite!

CaptainQuad and I are planning a road trip up there again VERY soon and we'll definitely let you know when--we'll want company as we hit the joints we missed and revisit some favorites (actually, they were all favorites...)!

Leisure Master and veleventeenlounge - thanks so much for the pictures! Like jpmartdog I wish we were kicking this thing off all over again. My body isn't thrilled with that idea but sometimes you just have to lay down the torture.
1st room tonight - my place with $100 Mai Tais!

Just so ya know--Randy discovered a new place, right North of Boston, ripe for investigation, possibly for adding to the itinerary. We'll check it out this weekend and post results here! We will subject it to the most rigorous and thorough testing: food, drinks, atmosphere.

Thanks for all the great pictures - and so organized!
You definitely have my vote for vice president in charge of anything important whenever this motley crew gets together.
Every group of pictures posted brings new memories back through the haze.
However, this picture kind of scared me - I think its Pappy's left arm but you can never be sure with our group:

Oh oops! Yeah, I wasn't sure what the heck was goin' on with that one (one too many mai tais, perhaps?), but it did make nice scrapbook background:

Sweet pics Martiki!! ...and HOLY ORGINIZATION SKILLS!!!!
You wanna help with the next Tour?? Most of my notes & confirmations were on scraps of paper & cocktail napkins (and 1 matchbook).
Anyway, some great shots, and we may have something else to look forward to before the year is out. Maybe. I'll post if it works out.
