Warning to the reader:  Please be advised that this article pokes fun at the stereotype of a tourist in Hawaii.  It's all in good fun and no offense is intended.  People without a sense of humor should find something else to read.

Luau Ideas for the Tourist to Take Home
So you came to Hawaii and went to a luau (pronounced loo-ow), the Hawaiian feast you always heard of, and now you understand the real reason we call Hawaii “Paradise”. Unfortunately, you can’t pack up a souvenir luau in your suitcase to take back and show your friends. So you need some luau ideas to take home, that way you can at least offer them a shadow of the experience.  (Make sure you pack some brochures with interesting facts about Hawaii, everyone likes trivia.)

If you are married, there is a 99.9% chance that you showed up wearing a matching Aloha-print outfit and one of you had a camera of some sort dangling from your neck. So you already know what to tell your guests to wear for the occasion. That was easy enough, yeah? See, some Hawaiian luau ideas are really simple.

Create a red paste by mixing sunscreen with food coloring. Have them spread this on their legs to create sunburn. All good tourists wear sunburn to luaus.   (Note: Under no circumstance should the sunburn extend down beyond the ankle, or wherever the person’s sock ends.)

Be sure to set a good example and tack “yeah?” on to the end of a good number of sentences when you are explaining something or telling a story of your Hawaiian adventures. That’s pretty easy to do, yeah? Hopefully, they will pick it up as quickly as you did. You did notice this while you were here, yeah?

We just moved to Oahu (military of course) in November, and I'm already addicted to haupia and wondering how you'd go about making a poi pie (with a sweet potato pie recipe). My husband is your aloha-shirt-wearing, camera-toting, sunburn-sporting typical blonde mainlander; I dress ordinary and just use his camera, plus am not prone to burning due to dark complexion. Lucky me!
