Roll up Your Hawaii Vacation ...Revisited
In my last intel I got so excited about putting up my first post in Qassia I forgot half the info. Age and scanty notes responsible for that. My last last intel had to do with packing your duds for that dream vacation to Hawaii. The tips I've listed are not in any particular order, and some are slightly off topic, but useful. Lather Up!
Put SUNBLOCK ...very high UV protection ... right at the top of your cosmetics and toilet articles list . Don't wait until you get to Hawaii to buy it. Get a big tube, or two tubes, one large, and one small ... less than 3oz. Put the large one in your stowed luggage, and the small one in your carryon. If you can't find the 3oz size, just squeeze some out of the big tube into a carryon size container ... remember, only up to 3oz. Why all the panic about sunblock? Because most of you reading this are probably not accustomed to the sub-tropical sun . Even at 85 F, and with the beautiful trade winds cooling your brow, the sun can fry your skin. So have that little 3oz container on hand when your feet hit the tarmac in Honolulu, and LATHER UP. Dress Up Threads I made quite a to do in a previous post about sticking to t-shirts and shorts for Hawaii travel, but there might be a reason for packing something dressier.
For men, stick to lightweight cotton or ... dare I say it ... polyester slacks. Actually, polyester isn't a bad choice; it packs well, and holds a crease. As a tour guide/busdriver on Maui and Big Island, I wore polyester pants for years. For men's shirts, cotton, rayon, and silk are the best. Nix the polyester for shirts; I also was forced to wear poly uniform shirts, and I hated them. There's something about most people's body chemistry and polyester that produces ... er,ummm ... sweat. Save room in your luggage to take at least one nice aloha (Hawaiian) shirt home. For both sexes, forget linen. It doesn't pack well, and once it gets rumpled from wearing, you can't get the creases out with a pressure steam hose. For women, well, I think the above choices in materials remain the same. Just leave the tailored jackets, and like that, at home. Think about soft weaves and versatility. (You can probably tell right off I never wrote fashion editorials for Vogue). OK, this is getting too long. I'll be back soon with more tips about Hawaii travel. Aloha a hui hou ('til we meet again)
