I may be a bit late, but check the local markets, especially Safeway (Vons), and Ralphs. They carry orchid leis this time of year. I believe they are $18.

| Thank you both. We leave Saturday from Seattle for a long and relaxed drive down to the Bay area. |

Howzit Iakonu,
If you start your drive from Seattle real early Saturday morning, you could join us at a monthly kanikapila at an Alameda halau (near Oakland) from 6P-10P. We love meeting fellow Taropatchers. Let me know if you'd like more info. How long are you in the Bay Area?
Aloha,
Doug |

Mahalo for the heads! We are taking the inland route through Lake Tahoe and arrive down in the Bay area on Weds/Thurs June 1-2) so it sounds like I'm going to miss the kanikapila. I re-strung my travel guitar last night and I'm ready to take my slack key on the road nonetheless. |

Costco - wow - just like the islands. Great idea - thank you. Now we'll have to get our Seattle Costco to carry leis and spread some more aloha up here in the chilly and still wet Northwest. |
