Sad, but ... . Not saying they're pau, but they really need to catch up. On a positive note, they've always been very generous and courteous to the tour guides/bus drivers/escorts. Really like your site. Great presentation.

Not saying they’re pau, but they really need to catch up.

On a positive note, they’ve always been very generous and courteous to the tour guides/bus drivers/escorts.

Really like your site. Great presentation.

The Hawaiian founder Reyn Spooner sold to a CA owner (no discount hair salon though). We couldn't believe it and just hope that the great quality of these shirts will stay the same. Keoki's aloha shirts from Reyn's have always been the best.
