It's been nearly 20 years ago I last visited Hawaii. It was always a nice getaway in January from the grim cold in Alberta (and working mostly outside on the Railway) - so I went from minus 15 F to plus 80 F. Arriving in a thick Beaver Coat at the Honolulu airport. Once there, I didn't want to leave!
Seen a lot of things there at the International Marketplace (mostly Chinese vendors), but never seen those "Kermit" purses. They would have freaked me out also.
BTW - you are one of the few Mainland US that liked the "relaxed" atmosphere there (most I encountered got impatient with "Hawaiian Time").

I probably would have felt differently about 'Hawaiian Time' had I been in my early 20s. But as I get older, I seriously grow to appreciate a more relaxed atmosphere.

That photo is great! I love the epic mustache. hehe

Time flies - not sure what year, but for some reason when in Hawaii, the most I had was the mustache, other times clean shaven. Whereas in Canada (and even now) a full beard.

Perhaps it was too hot for the beard! I imagine Canada is a great place to have a good beard. I haven't been there, but I always imagine it to get pretty cold.
