Now I don’t know what it is about Hawaii, but it’s a place that really seems to attract the older couples that DEFINE the term ‘tourists’. You know them…you know them well. Fanny packs, cameras around the neck, noticeably white walking shoes (style usually taking a backseat to comfort in these cases), khakis, safari hats…the whole package.
Anyways, I’ll let the picture do the talking here, but let’s just say we got the pleasure of seeing this doozy of a couple attempt to get their suitcases off the carousel. As you can see, the man was watching the bags come out LIKE A HAWK...mouth open, eyes fixated, He WAS NOT going to miss his bag. My sister can vouch... as soon at that shining beauty came his way, all hell broke loose. After a failed attempt at catching it, the surrounding people took on the necessary hospitable duties, and were practically in a dog pile to help this kind man get his very heavy luggage off the conveyor belt. It all ended after a proactive father with a small child on his shoulders pulled the bag off. I’m guessing one too many bucket hats packed in there…
Now I could go on about airports for days, but I’ll just leave you with a picture of Cristina, Katie and I dressed up as tacky tourists for a fratty Around the World party freshman year. Wearing oversized button-ups and running shoes to a party filled with sexy Indians and Eskimos really put us in that hot, slutty freshman category, as you probably all know. Cheers to 3 years down.

ReplyDeleteIf I could take a stab at their rental car for the weekend, I would go out on a limb and say it was a Chevy Impala. Full size sedan, bench seat up front, practical. Not as flashy as the Cadillac DTS waiting at home. And home, I imagine, would be Arizona since its one of the top-rated states for retirement!
