Trudy, you forgot "searching out and imbibing tasty cocktails, preferably in a tiki-esque surrounding".
You forgot baseball.

Vuaka Kei Na Ura Tavuteke
(Pan-fried fillets of pork and shrimp with asparagus, broccoli and vudi [plantains] in orange sauce.)
And based on our Khorkina discussion, this bit of narrative from the cookbook had me snorting Diet Coke up my nose:
The first impression I got from the emu I encountered in semi-captivity within an animal park in Australia was hostility. A wire fence separated us, and I was glad for the barrier. The animal stalked over to me, fixed me with a beady eye, opened its powerful beak and exhaled vorcibly and rather foully in my face. I then commenced to strut back and forth on its large, three-toed feet, like a drill sergeant reprimanding a recruit. I promptly abandoned any attempts at encouraging friendship.
A few days later, at a chic bush-food restuarant in Canberra, I retaliated. I ordered emu satay with a citrus-honey glaze. [...] (I suspect this particular emu had placed first in the 1600-mile race around the Great Australian Bight region between Perth and Adelaide. The meat was well exercised, in a word--tough.
