Smile and laugh, you're on vacation. Use the word "Aloha", it feels good. Take your shoes off when entering homes. Try the fresh fish, poke, and plate lunches. Slow down, things are on Hawaii time here. Get some sun, and swim in the ocean. DON'T... Forget sunscreen. Even so, don't overdo it. Honk. It's rude here unless it's an emergency. Approach monk seals or turtles, it's illegal. Swim or hike alone, it's simply not safe. Ask us what kind of currency we use here. Spend a lot of time on your phone or laptop.
