Tori Richard FTW

When can I come back to Hawaii? Is the state still discouraging visitors! I can’t take it anymore!

It's actually a shirt from Roberta Oaks. Check her out, she's amazing!

To answer your question, yes & I hope this all ends soon. Our main economy drivers are tourism & the military. It's really sad to see a lot of our locally small businesses struggling. But I think we are doing a pretty good job handling this pandemic. There are a few that are making us look bad - like those people holding "TOURIST GO HOME" or "HAWAI'I IS CLOSED" at the airport when it's out of their control.

But if you ever come, hit me up! I have a small tour company & I'll show you around! Hikes, diving, fishing, surfing, etc.. I got you!

I am very familiar with Roberta Oaks. Love some of the designs, I just prefer the Tori Richards a little more. Always end up buying a few each time I’m in their shops. We’re all praying for the small businesses. And hopefully soon, things can go back to normal.

Mahalo for the invite. I’m an avid Hawaii guy, and visit for several weeks per year. I miss it quite desperately. I’ve been visiting Kauai more lately, I just like a low key environment. I’m easy to please.

That's awesome. What part of Northern California are you in? I actually frequent Bay Area a lot & during the snow season, I fly up every two weeks to be in Tahoe. Heavenly is my home break & of course you know us Hawaiians + Casinos.

Congrats on your Daytona, and Happy Aloha Friday. Praying for you folks out there. I am frequent visitor there, and have many clients out there. Just left on the last direct flight back to NY on Hawaiian Air March 25th. I assume you operate on Oahu?? I actually have been connecting with your AD out there in the Ala Moana Center. :)
Show pics when you get your piece.

Ha! I frequent Monte Bleu in Tahoe quite often, so I feel ya. I like the tables on the lower level by the entrance. Fun spot

I’m in the valley near Lodi. About 90 minutes east of SF.

Yeah, we have run our tours in Honolulu. We are still fairly new and the goal is to build the brand up so that the other islands want us. This company was started by locals & is run by locals. Can't beat that!

Words can’t express how happy I am! Definitely need to get it sized so I’ll save the wrist shot for later.

Aloha to you all!
