Through all of the visitors to the islands that we’ve encountered, all of the friends that we’ve made, and with every single Hawaii tour and activity that we’ve been apart of, we have definitely learned a thing or two about travel, especially travel to Hawaii. We wouldn’t tell you what to do on vacation, but we can give you tips to make your vacation a little easier, offering insights that will make your entire Hawaiian experience the best that it can be.
Getting your Hawaii souvenirs home is something that you will need to think through ahead of time, and this Hawaii how to guide will give you ideas for bringing all of the cool Hawaiian items that you pick up into your bags and back to your starting point. One of the things that we hate to see is a visitor having to leave things behind because there just wasn’t enough room. These treasures serve as memories and allow you to take back a little bit of Hawaii with you.
The best piece of advice that we can offer for your Hawaiian souvenirs is to leave room in your bag before you even depart. Leaving room ahead of time means that when you pack your new items, including clothing, locally made snacks and treats, coffee, or any item that you may pick up at places like the Shops of Wailea or the Aloha Stadium Swap Meet will fit in the spare room you came with. It's basically the easiest way to ensure you will bring everything back.
Another idea is a little more costly, though for those who have trouble packing light it might be the most ideal, is to purchase a new bag when you arrive. There are places throughout the islands that offer luggage and bags that you can pack with your Hawaiian souvenirs in and head back to the airport. The draw back to this option is bags can be expensive, and heading out to find a bag might not be that easy.
The final option, and probably the least ideal of all the options, is to ship your Hawaiian souvenirs back. You’ll need to make plans to visit the post office, but everything that you will need to ship a box can be purchased there, and once you’ve shipped it, you just have to head home and wait for it to arrive. To make thing easier, pick up a mail able pineapple from the Dole Pineapple Plantation on Oahu, pack anything that is not fragile, and let the postal service get it home for you. This saves you a good deal of struggle packing your bag, and if you ship early enough, you won’t be tempted to dig into those delicious Hawaiian treats before you get home.
