Things you should do in Hawaii
3. Go to the beach! (This sounds like a no-brainer, but with so much going on it is easy to forget it is even there.)
4. Eat lots of Kalua pork. (This is manna from the gods. Who knew pork could be so good. We ate it by itself, on nachos, and every other way they would serve it. I really miss it.)
5. Avoid tourist traps. (If you look hard enough, you will find places will local flare not set up to serve the tourists.)
Things you do not do in Hawaii
4. Offend entire cultures by your actions. (I saw this happen several times, stop and think about your surroundings before you do or say something.)
5. Refer to the islands as the "Third World". ( I said it as a joke to a waitress, she did not find it funny. But in some regards I was right.)
6. Give a server a tip. (No matter what, every place we went to added gratuity to your check. It took a couple of days for us to realize this and stop double tipping.)
