OK, so, after what seemed like 92 straight hours in the tender mercies of Delta Airlines (normally, we would hitchhike rather than subject ourselves to the Atlanta-based carrier, but you haven't much choice when you're trying to redeem frequent flier miles these days), we're back to our drafty home in the Pacific Northwest, a/k/a, Ice Age for the Global Warming Era. Given the vagaries of air travel these days, we opted to consign most of our park-based booty to the friendly folks of Fed Ex, which is good and bad. The bad is we have to wait, which as Mr. Tikistitch will tell you, is not exactly our forte, although the good is that, in a couple days, we'll have PACKAGES FOR US YAY!! So we'll get to experience the whole OMG Stitch Stuffs! thing all over again, especially since we've already forgotten what all we got.

BUT!!! We managed to smuggle a few of the fragile-y items in the overhead bin (and not beneath the seat in front of us, because tiki is a bad, naughty airline passenger). So, we'll go through the highlights and bore ya silly with some long-winded tiki stories....

Some of y'all might already have seen this. Actually, we've seen it before, but since we'd only seen teensy fuzzy images on eBay, we had no clue how awesome it is in person.

This is from the Polynesian resort. As you'll notice, the little totem Stitch is sitting on is actually a Stitch tiki, which is pretty darned cool

It's pretty big too, like 8 or 9 inches high.

The concept of course is that Stitch and Lilo are holding up your vacation photo. We actually need to print out something from the Ohana breakfast and set it up in the holder. So we can remember our happy breakfast with Stitch, plus the whole concept of being warm in sunny Florida and not, ya know, sitting freezing our ass off.
