I'll heed your advice next time. Good thing "the man" didn't see the wahine in the back with a bundle of that fresh green herb. I love mint!

If it helps anyone plan, the tours are only about 45 mins each...add a little time to peruse on your own...you'll be out by 3pm.
If you havent been to the PEM, this is a great opportunity to see some amazing Oceanic art, and hear some people who really know their stuff speak about it.
They're throwing us all out of the hotel at 11....what else are you gonna do? Me? Im gonna get educated....and full of greasy hangover food.

Let me vouch for the museum. I have had many occasions to visit, and the Oceanic Arts section is growing and very impressive. Plus, there are many other fascinating things, like an entire 2-story Chinese house, that was dismantled in the countryside of some small province, brought over, and reassembled in its own courtyard in its entirety. And you can walk through the whole thing!

The mayor is correct. There's alot of cool stuff there to check out.
I believe to take the tour of the china house requires a separate ticket. Just a couple of bucks, but in the interest of full disclosure, I figured I'd mention it.
Only a few months away now!!! Get ready to start seeing raffle items, and if you're on the fence about hosting a room you sould take the leap.
Its a great way to meet a bunch of fantastic people (with 100 on this tour, I guarantee there's at least a dozen you dont know, no matter how connected in the tiki community you are) and a great way to show off your mixing/host/hostess skills.
Plus, we'll probably have a little something for the room hosters as a token of our appreciation.
Pm me if you need more info, and we'll see you on the bus!!

Hey Sully,
Pencil me in for hosting a room. Being a former chef, my mind has been racing on what to make and bring.. Looking forward to it..
Cheers!

Rev_thumper and I are co-hosting a room with Velveteen Lounge and Captain Quad... which I think you already know, but I figured I'd mention anyway.

I was thinking about hosting a room for the crawl, but there's going to be so many people making cocktails that I figure nobody will be interested in plain rum. Why drink Zacapa when you can have a Mai Tai?

Oh scottes, ye of little faith.
I drained a bottle of Zapacapa in just over a day (I was sharing, not ALL to myself) at Hukilau. That was my "go to" in the hip flask.
If you pour it, they will come.

Hey, tell ya what, Scottes, I'll get with the Professah, and we'll co-host the room next door, and serve Urinal Cakes and Pernod Mou Tais. Your room will get plenty of visits!

Jill & I are lightweights/lousy mixologists, so I think we'll host the Tiki Tour Enjoyment Insurance Room.
We'll have plenty of cupcakes, Advil and water. And who knows, we might even create a mystical Voodoo hangover tonic.

As long as no one mixes up the urinal cakes and cupcakes we should be OK.

OK, put me down for hosting a room.
I'll bring, say, 24 - an even 2 dozen - rums.
I may even make you up a My Tai. Yes, I said My Tai. (A long story involving an OCD compulsion and numerous variation of the Bum's $100 Mai Tai recipe.)
