I was hoping for a Tourist Torture Manual <----Points to location. "If it's tourist season, why can't we shoot them"
Hawaii would be my last choice...why spend bucketloads of cash to travel to the equivalent of Iowa with palm trees?
Speaking that aloud on the islands would have you hanged, thats all they wear unless a situation specifically calls for something more formal...except out here they call them slippers.
I have nothing against strapped sandals, crocs, or anything short of actual flip flops. But flip flops themselves... I hold much hate for.
I fondly remember the days when people thought that flip-flops were beachware, not shoes. It boggles the mind to see people walk city streets in them. Strapped sandals are much more utilitarian and comfortable on pavement, better looking, and can be gotten plenty cheap. Flip-flops just seem the ultimate in shoe laziness and penultimate in self-loathing next to high heels.
