Great photos! Excellent trip!!
Thanks for sharing with us.

To go off-topic on MGI for a minute, here's a picture of Larry and me (I need Glamour Shots for that!) at one filiming location ("Portside, buddy"). Not the best picture of either of us, but note Larry IS wearing the black and purple version of the parrot shirt (which was seen in quite a few episodes in the first and second seasons -- I can't find my list of which exact ones right now):



Remember "Mr. Kindness CM" said I reminded him slightly of Hope Lange -- so he calls me "Hope" in our emails, and I call him "Michael" to preserve his anonimity.

Am still working on uploading all the pictures of the "treasures" and writing MGI's blog of the trip. Stay tuned! Will post a link when I have "published" it.

Wow, golf, CM is dead on. You do look like Hope Lange. How cool is that?!

It seems like it is almost time for you two to be heading home. (Just a guess.) Good luck getting MGI to leave the Islands. Have a good flight home.

Higgins: You've washed the car?! How extraordinary. Why would you do such a thing?

MPS,

You are too kind -- just like "Michael." And we got home at 6:30 a.m. yesterday (Thurs.). Still trying to catch up on sleep. . . . (and it was rather difficult to get MGI in the carry-on bag as he kept kicking and screaming -- the passengers kept giving me the oddest glances as they heard his screeching. . . .)

In the meantime, I've uploaded all of our pictures of the treasures to places on the web. These are, for the most part, unedited pictures, but I think you all can figure everything out. If anyone recognizes a prop from a particular episode, PLEASE feel free to identify the item by episode/usage, etc. Or ask any questions about what you see, and I'll try to provide missing information.

So here goes:

golf's pictures on Webshots (apparently I copied the link for the album as a slidehow, so it shows that way)

Larry's pictures on photobucket (if you click on the "slideshow" to the right here, it will also show as a slidedshow, if you want to see it that way)

Indeed!!! I am speecheless as well. I, as I am sure others, was thinking to myself what one item I would love to have it I was limited to just one.
Talk about a difficult choice, but I think I would have to go with the POW/MIA bracelet........Great job Golf, Larry and by all means not least of all, MGI.............

Your pictures are incredible ! I didn' t think one day I could see this, 20 years after the end of MPI.

Wow Golf Thanks so much for all you did.

I can't wait to hear what's next!!

Congrats Golf, and thanks so much for sharing. You've just had what would be my ultimate dream "Mike has died and gone to heaven" vacation. Imagine, just to know the rubber chicken or TM's MIA bracelet still exists this many years later! Staggering to the imagination. It's a good thing I'm not rich, because "Michael"'s collection would be mine regardless of the cost. I'd just offer him $1m for everything. I'd create an MPI museum, even if no one ever came to visit it.
I know it may sound a little nuts, but If I were ever fortunate enough to make the trip to Oahu, I'd be more than happy to just visit the beach at the Anderson Estate, Visit the still existing MPI locations, and spend a little time with the "treasures", and they truely are treasures. Just think, you handled the MIA bracelet that we watched TM wear for 5 years. Not a copy, the actual bracelet. That honestly gives me chills. Sappy, maybe, but I really am that much of a fan. The history you interacted with was unbelievable.

N1095A..... your thoughts aren't sappy at all. Whenever I go to the Anderson Estate and stand on the beach looking at Magnum's beach house, I can't help but feel a sense of loss. As expressed more than a few times on these boards, its because the Magnum series we enjoyed so much, is no longer around.
