This thread is for information on the third annual Florida Ohana Luau at the Hawaiian Inn in Daytona Beach.
This is a very informal event and is intended as a chance for the Florida tiki-obsessed to meet, relax and party at one of the best Polynesian Pop culture sites in the state. Other TCers are welcome.
The date is Saturday, January 22.
As in previous years everyone is responsible for their own reservations.
For hotel information and reservations, go here: http://www.hawaiianinn.com/
For dinner and show reservations, go here:
http://www.teauilashawaii.com/index.htm
The following TC members have already indicated they and their significant others plan to attend:
JTD - Jacksonville
Tweedtone - Tampa
JonPez- Orlando
Pablus - Tampa
KailuaGeoff - Orlando
If you intend to join us, please post below and indicate whether you have an interest in vending, and if you would be wiiling to help out with food and beverages for a private party before and after the luau and show.
I'll post more details as the date gets nearer. If you have questions better asked off-line, e-mail me at geoffsun@earthlink.net and write "Hawaiian Inn" in the subject line.
Mahalo & aloha,
KG

Of course me and the wahine will be there.
Pablus, I will definitely hang on the beach with you this year. I kinda learned not to make the mistake I did last year before this event. Nudge nudge wink wink .
Swimming in January? Sure why not.

Daytona is probably about 5-6 hour drive from Ft Lauderdale, Ben.

According to AAA the estimated drive time from Ft. Lauderdale to Daytona Beach is 3 hours and 29 minutes. Distance is 238.8 miles.
Humuhumu two years in a row.... how sweet!
Note: My TC address says Hawaiian Inn, although I don't live there. It just feels like I do. I live about an hour away in Lake Mary, Florida.

Hmmm. 9+ hour drive from here. I am working on it. Maybe stop at Hale TIki for the night on the way and cut the drive in half? Wait, I drink free there for life. That might mean a rough morning... Yeah! That's the spirit!

Yes,please do pass along some form of schedule. I'm going to try to get the time off. Helps to know how many days to ask for.
Looking forward to meeting more of the hardcore Fl ohana

Bree--
Where have you been sweetheart!
Heck, I don't know what you should bring...
Bring Tristan.
Pablus and I will come up with a booze and food wishlist which we will post at the first of the year. Everyone can contribute something, I'm sure.
No one has asked me about vending anything, so I guess its okay to just be lazy and not bring work to this party.
The schedule is:
1) Drive or hitch a ride to the Hawaiian Inn on Friday Jan. 21 or Saturday Jan. 22.
1a) I'm thnking seriously about going on Friday and maybe having dinner at Julian's if anybody wants to do that.
2) We'll start partying at the Hawaiian Inn's poolside tiki bar when it opens at 11 on Saturday. Everyone except Cyber-Tiki that is. This year he must wait until it is closer to Happy Hour.
3) Move it into a room or rooms where we'll play our own music, mix drinks and talk story.
4) Sober up in the shower before the luau and show.
5)Do the luau show (Frank's bar opens at 5:30, dinner at 7, show at 8 ).
6)Hang out after the show.
7)Go swimming around midnight in the freezing Atlantic Ocean with Pablus, Flounder, KailuaGeoff and whoever else got suckered into this crazy commitment.
8 ) Force Pablus to tune his uke with frost-bitten fingers.
9) Have breakfast
10)Go home.
Sound like fun?
