How to spot a Tourist

Well I am getting ready to head home for Christmas and I thought it would be funny to point out how locals can always spot a tourist. If you want to blend in better...don't make these mistakes :D

...the GIANT tip off...it's the crew socks under strappy sandals, please don't do this EVER...

...taking pictures of insignificant things...such as a Portuguese-man-of-war laying on the beach, I will close this blog with a lovely picture of someone doing this...

...speedos, nobody wears them in Hawaii, you get too much sand in your junk...

...extremely colorful, sometimes 70s style aloha shirts...

...the "chicken fried haole"...My Dad is white and no matter what he ends up like this. What I am talking about is the extreme sunburn. A lot of tourists don't flip in time or spend too much time enjoying the view to think about moving out of the sun. Therefore you end up with a couple of pink people! :D

...Ford V6 Mustang and Chrysler Sebring Convertibles. There is always parents in the front and bored looking children in the back. No Hawaii locals own these vehicles, its only the rental cars. I agree though, you want to enjoy the fresh air so keep on renting these vehicles but just know, we are on to you! ;) Also, keep in mind, we live on an island, there is not a lot of room so our speed limits are very very low. So please don't speed!! Tourists are always speeding!



So there's that! Hope it made you giggle!
