Tip #1: Go out and buy yourself a nice pair of slippers (flip-flops). Don't go looking like a dork with dress shoes, black socks and shorts. :D

Agreed, watching 60+ year old oil droplets rise to the surface above the Arizona is eery

In my 2+ years in Hawaii I never bought slippers. There's a reason Hawaiians have almost universally ugly feet. It's been 8 years since Lani left Hawaii and her feet are still recovering.

Of course, that doesn't matter for a quick vacation and you'll definitely want something for walking on beaches.

And environmentally hazardous. I propose we raise the Arizona to prevent this destruction of the fragile ecology of the harbor.

raising arizona?

While I doubt I'd get the same kind of attention as a couple of haole hotties, I will heed your advice none the less. ;)

Yeah, but let's see how far you get walking on red lava with your haole feet. :D

That's why we invented shoes.

Another tip: don't try to talk in pidgen, you won't do it right and you'll just look stupid. Also, don't assume that people talking in pidgen are stupid, they speak standard English just as well as you.

Wishing to keep my tenderfoots in tact, I'll be taking a cheap knockoff of a Keen sandal (I hate flip-flops...)

But of course I'll still wear dark socks. I am dork, here me roar. :D


What the hell is "pidgen"? Or to put it in another way, OK. I won't. Whenever I travel to foreign lands I always speak dollar. That seems to work in most situations.. :)

NO SOCKS!

Otherwise, I haven't been to Hawaii since 1971. It was amazingly primative still.
