Thread Name: BS: High Tourist Season In Hawai'i
Subject: RE: BS: High Tourist Season In Hawai'i
The tourists there remind me of a flock of starlings. They huddle together in a few areas with hotel packages sold to them by travel agencies and their forays restricted to places offering 'luaus' or 'authentic' shows such as those offered by the Polynesian Cultural Center (operated by LDS). Not that these are not fun or interesting, but one does not get a feel for Hawai'i through them.
Stay away from these clusters and the few tourists are people who blend in.
