Hit the tonga room on our trip and WOW!, what a joint.Sure the drinks are just o.k., but the decor is out of this world.I figured that I had seen it all, but this place rocked.In monterey, I found my old seafood place(the fish hopper) to have some good tiki drinks and oceanic decor, plus unreal food.Sunday night we hit chucks steak house in santa barbara which had torches-a-burning outside and a great carved front door......and 1 fish trap lamp, thats it!.The food did kick ass.the best part came on monday morning when we went to goleta and hit alphies for breakfast.This place is so beautiful I was blown away.It is run by a cool hawaiian family that had no idea they were in the tiki road trip book ,and they got a real kick about the write up.Unreal carvings all over by the husband and good food too.Oh yea, they had a cool STUFFED SEA TURTLE to boot!.Pics coming soon.TWT


keep the rubber side down ,the gas on and the commies on the run!
