Just wear a pair of flowered shorts sleeveless T's and flip flops, and you won't look so mainland. But until you get the Hawaiian speech and lingo down, don't worry about fitting in. The second you start talking they will know that you're so mainland. Treat them with full respect, and you will be treated the same. It took me almost a year to get their speech down, but until then, I only fit in with the few local friends I made right after I move there. But after I started talking and sounding like them, I fit in in Hawaii and with all the locals. Just have a good time and enjoy the trip. Hang out on the north end of the island, with luck, you will find someone to show you their personal spots to get away from the tourist. If you are going to Oahu, any where around Waikiki is a tourist trap, in that section, all they want is as much of your money they can get. But the Polynesian cultural center in Waikiki is a cool place to go. Rent a car, hit H-1 hwy out toward Haleiwa and the north shore and enjoy your self, and enjoy your vacation....

I hope with all the bad press they will be on their best behavior. I'm really an easy guy to get along with. If they told me to get off I probably would but it does bug me that they oversale tickets. I don't get to go on vacations like this very often. I was taking her to Cozumel back in 2010 and we were told the plane wasn't oversold and there was no guarantee they could out me in later that day. I was asked to give up our tix for another couple. I felt like a #### but I said I bc again I don't get to take her on trips alone very often. So even though I'm a nice guy usually I'm afraid they'd see my bad side if I got bumped. I get they have to for profit yadayadayada. But the problem is I ask for leave months in advance and that's my only window then we get cafe for our children lined up and then you show up and they say sorry we're overbooked but we can probably get you out in a day or two? Not going to sit well I won't lie. Hopefully with everything going on they will be easy to work with.
