Ohana means no Dork left behind
I'm just back from Oahu. Hawaii is a great place. You can be a Dork and dress like a tourist and everyone is happy to see you.
So how do you spot a Dork (like ME) in Hawaii? Here are your 5 clues.
1. The Dork (of euro-mutt descent) is the only one without either a "spray on" or natural tan. Just pale skin covered in SPF 45 UVA/UVB sunscreen.
2. Tennis shoes on the beach. A dead giveaway.
3. Everyone else is wearing ball caps. The Dork is in a panama hat or a wide brimmed straw hat.
4. The Dork is online answering e-mail every day. Hey Dork girl! Get a life and go snorkeling or something!
5. Camera around neck, shorts, an aloha shirt, and a puka shell necklace (or lei.) Takes pictures of everything (including the slug on the ground in the world's largest maze at the Dole Pineapple Plantation.)
Bonus Clue: the Dork is the one who walks right into the security scanner at Hilo Hattie's because she isn't looking where she's going :-)
