Be sure to dive on the phonebooks of every town you pass through and look up key Tiki words...Tiki, Kon Tiki, Tropics, Tropical, Kona, etc. (Tiki Central once had a list going of key phonebook words, but I can't remember if it was here or at yahoo.) You may discover a bar or apartment building. Check out the Chinese restaurants hoping against hope that the lounge once went Polynesian and stayed that way.

As for known places, The Alibi in Portland, Oregon is a must. You can skip Washington state (despite it being the Greatest State in the World) for the sake of The Alibi. And Portland has the added bonus of having The Jasmine Tree, another above average original Tiki joint. And of course Portland also has Castaway Cove...
