class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Around $50,000 would provide a good cushion for a single person in most circumstances.

You probably won&#8217;t need much professional or formal wear either. It&#8217;s such a laid-back environment that even if you go out to a nice dinner, a Hawaiian shirt and nice khakis or even cargo shorts will definitely suffice.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-are-you-not-allowed-to-bring-to-hawaii\"><\/span>What are you not allowed to bring to Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>RESTRICTED OR PROHIBITED ITEMS:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-you-wear-jeans-in-hawaii\"><\/span>Can you wear jeans in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not a fan of shorts, jeans, leggings, or capris can also be acceptable attire. Breezy, lightweight tops are a good idea if you&#8217;re not into t-shirts. It&#8217;s usually fairly warm in Hawaii during the day, so do not pack anything too heavy.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"should-i-take-jeans-to-hawaii\"><\/span>Should I take jeans to Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Hawaii itself is around 80 degrees year-round so you likely won&#8217;t need these to wear there, except for maybe at night. Every single indoor place in Hawaii is air conditioned excessively which is why sometimes jeans are helpful!Apr 22, 2021<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-do-hawaiian-ladies-wear\"><\/span>What do Hawaiian Ladies wear?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Women wear long skirts and a top or a muumuu and men wear trousers and a malo, a wrapped cloth. Only a few performances will feature grass skirts, and these tend to be worn over fabric clothing.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"should-i-bring-beach-towels-to-hawaii\"><\/span>Should I bring beach towels to Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You definitely need to bring a beach towel on your Hawaii vacation, but not just any old towel will do! When packing for Hawaii, you&#8217;ll want to bring a sand-resistant beach towel or blanket to lounge around on. For drying off, I suggest a quick drying microfiber towel. Leave all other bulky towels at home!Jun 29, 2020<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-do-you-say-you-are-welcome-in-hawaii\"><\/span>How do you say you are welcome in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&#8216;A&#8217; ole palikir \u2013 You&#8217;re welcome\/ No problem.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-does-o-mean-in-hawaiian\"><\/span>What does o mean in Hawaiian?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>O (\u014d), Parker Haw to Eng , It is used in particularizing one or more persons or things from others. There is no equivalent for it in English nor can it be translated. The Hawaiians use this emphatic o for emphasis and euphony.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-do-you-respond-to-aloha\"><\/span>How do you respond to aloha?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If someone says \u201cAloha\u201d to you, say it right back. Mahalo means \u201cthank you.\u201d If someone does you a kindness, don&#8217;t be shy about saying, \u201cMahalo,\u201d to them. Locals will be pleased that you used this word.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-dancing-illegal-in-hawaii\"><\/span>Is dancing illegal in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Simply put, it&#8217;s illegal. But it&#8217;s really not that simple. This is because \u201cdancing\u201d is not clearly defined. But if you&#8217;re doing it and you&#8217;re not on a designated dancefloor, you&#8217;re breaking the law.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-it-rude-to-say-aloha-to-a-hawaiian\"><\/span>Is it rude to say aloha to a Hawaiian?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It is true that in Hawaiian we say \u201cAloha\u201d both when greeting someone and also saying goodbye. But that is not to be taken literally. The real meaning of Aloha in Hawaiian is that of Love, Peace, and Compassion.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-is-it-illegal-to-put-coins-in-your-ears-in-hawaii\"><\/span>Why is it illegal to put coins in your ears in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In Hawaii, coins are not allowed to be placed in one&#8217;s ears. The reason for this is because in 1900 when Hawaii became apart of the United States, there was an order to destroy all Hawaiian coins, and people would hide them in their ears; now it is a sign of being a drug dealer.&#8221;May 1, 2014<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-the-biggest-problem-in-hawaii\"><\/span>What is the biggest problem in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>According to the survey, conducted by Ward Research, the top issues for residents on Hawaii Island are homelessness, drugs and traffic. <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/trendingsimple.com\/hawaii\/maui\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Maui\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">Maui<\/a> residents&#8217; top issues were affordable housing, traffic and public education.

Hawaii experiences a spike in visitors from mid-December to New Year, resulting in high accommodation, plane tickets, and rental car costs. December is also the wettest month of the year as temperatures cool across the Hawaiian islands.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-should-i-dress-in-hawaii\"><\/span>How should I dress in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We recommend comfortable shoes for walking, shorts, sun dresses, and t- shirts. In the evening most people switch over to dressy casual &#8211; slightly dressier than their daytime attire &#8211; khaki shorts or trousers, polo shirts, aloha shirts, skirts, sundresses, etc. Breakfasts &#8211; Come &#8220;as you are&#8221;.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-i-bring-sunscreen-to-hawaii\"><\/span>Can I bring sunscreen to Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>No matter which sunscreen you use in Hawaii, if you are planning on being in the ocean, make sure your sunscreen is coral-safe. Essentially, that means that you purchase a sunscreen without Oxybenzone or Octinoxate. Both of those chemicals will be banned in Hawaii in 2021.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-to-wear-when-walking-in-hawaii\"><\/span>What to wear when walking in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The packing list for hiking<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"do-you-need-a-sweater-in-hawaii\"><\/span>Do you need a sweater in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Hawaii is generally warm year-round, but sometimes you might encounter a short cold spell when visiting in the winter months. Bring a light jacket (ideally a breathable, rainproof jacket) or sweater. You&#8217;ll probably want to have a sweater or jacket just for the plane ride over.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"do-you-need-socks-in-hawaii\"><\/span>Do you need socks in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>So remember Hawaii travelers, NO socks, NO shoes, and NO pants, especially if you are from <a href=\"https:\/\/trendingsimple.com\/hawaii\/what-was-it-like-moving-from-michigan-to-hawaii\/\" title=\"What was it like moving from michigan to hawaii\">Michigan<\/a>. I have to say Honolulu was not what I had pictured in my head. I was overstimulated at first. Coming from Marquette, MI I expected Honolulu to be close to the same size.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-should-i-dress-for-dinner-in-hawaii\"><\/span>How should I dress for dinner in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Dinner Shows, Restaurant Dinners &#038; Dinner Cruise &#8211; &#8220;Dressy casual.&#8221; Ladies: Slacks and blouse or dress shorts, casual dresses\/ maxi dresses, skirts or Aloha evening wear, etc. Gentlemen: Slacks, Dress shorts, polo\/knit\/dress shirt, or Aloha attire. Jackets are not required, but you may wear one if you choose.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-many-swimsuits-should-i-bring-to-hawaii\"><\/span>How many swimsuits should I bring to Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Your Hawaii packing checklist should start with beachwear because you&#8217;ll probably be spending a lot of time on the sand. Bring at least two swimsuits so you can dry one out each day. But also don&#8217;t forget some breezy Hawaiian attire to layer on top for the transition from poolside to swimming to grabbing lunch.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"should-you-bring-water-shoes-to-hawaii\"><\/span>Should you bring water shoes to Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Your list of things to bring to Maui should include foot protection for the water. It&#8217;s no fun gashing your foot on a sharp coral reef while body surfing or playing in the waves in the mighty Pacific Ocean. That&#8217;s why water shoes in Hawaii are so useful. These anti-slip water shoes will keep you safe!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"should-i-bring-a-rain-jacket-to-hawaii\"><\/span>Should I bring a rain jacket to Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Should I bring a raincoat to Hawaii? Maybe. If you&#8217;ll be spending a lot of time on the windward sides of the islands (including Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island) a packable rain jacket will come in handy.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-do-you-wear-to-a-luau\"><\/span>What do you wear to a luau?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Hawaiian attire is always the way to go, which usually includes muumuu dresses, skirts, leis (which you&#8217;ll get as you enter most Maui luaus), aloha shirts, shorts, and slippahs (or flip-flops). Any of these choices represents the islands well!Feb 12, 2022<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-a-luau-worth-the-money\"><\/span>Is a luau worth the money?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In my opinion, I think going to a luau is definitely worth planning into your Hawaii vacation. For around $90, you get to sample Polynesian food and watch a colorful Polynesian dance show. Luaus feature traditional Polynesian and Hawaiian food that you might not find on a resort menu.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"do-you-tip-at-a-luau\"><\/span>Do you tip at a luau?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>At a luau party, sometimes food is included in the price and sometimes not. If not included, then tip 15% to 20% of the check for good service and 10% for poor service. You should not leave a tip lower than 10% in any case.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-you-wear-jeans-to-a-luau\"><\/span>Can you wear jeans to a luau?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Any footwear you&#8217;d wear to the beach is appropriate for a luau party as well. Even if you&#8217;re a jeans kind of a guy (or girl), denim just doesn&#8217;t do it at a luau. Again, beach style is key. Go for those loose-fitting linen casual pants or board shorts that you don&#8217;t get to wear often enough.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-shoes-do-you-wear-to-a-luau\"><\/span>What shoes do you wear to a luau?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Footwear for Luaus Sandals and flip flops (we call them &#8216;slippers&#8217; here in Hawaii) are the best choice of footwear to complete luau outfits. You can slip them off anytime to stroll or dance barefooted on the sand.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-a-hawaiian-dress-called\"><\/span>What is a Hawaiian dress called?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The muumuu \/\u02c8mu\u02d0mu\u02d0\/ or mu\u02bbumu\u02bbu (Hawaiian pronunciation: [\u02c8mu\u0294u\u02c8mu\u0294u]) is a loose dress of Hawaiian origin that hangs from the shoulder and is like a cross between a shirt and a robe. Like the aloha shirt, muumuu exports are often brilliantly colored with floral patterns of generic Polynesian motifs.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-aloha-casual-attire\"><\/span>What is Aloha casual attire?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Aloha Casual for men means a button-down shirt, polo, or aloha shirt with shorts and sandals. Women should wear a sundress, mu&#8217;u mu&#8217;u, or blouse with a skirt or pants and sandals. Aloha Formal is the equivalent to military casual.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-you-wear-a-thong-on-waikiki-beach\"><\/span>Can you wear a thong on Waikiki Beach?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Waikiki Beach Wear About the only thing you can&#8217;t get away with on Waikiki Beach is parading around with nothing on but sunscreen and a smile. Admittedly thong bikinis don&#8217;t cover much more than the sunscreen, but are perfectly acceptable on this strip of sand.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"do-locals-in-hawaii-wear-hawaiian-shirts\"><\/span>Do locals in Hawaii wear Hawaiian shirts?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The short answer is: absolutely. Many Hawaiians and locals wear aloha shirts (aka \u201cHawaiian\u201d shirts) practically every day including at work, parties, dinner, or just a casual BBQ. They&#8217;re everywhere. In fact, a nice button-up collared aloha shirt is considered formal wear in a lot of places on the islands.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"does-hawaii-have-a-dress-code\"><\/span>Does Hawaii have a dress code?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Hawaii has its own kind of dress code and it&#8217;s decidedly casual. From flip-flops and board shorts to aloha shirts and long-flowing muumuus, attire in &#8220;The Aloha State&#8221; reflects the friendly &#8220;hang loose&#8221; lifestyle of the Islands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How much money do I need saved to move to Hawaii?
