Hawaii men's pack list
I am attempting to assist a co-worker who is leaving tomorrow for Maui. He's not an experienced traveler & doesn't have beach vacation clothes (we're in Seattle). Here's what I've come up with but would appreciate any feedback:
hat
sunglasses
birkenstocks (bear with me here)
1 pair sneakers (wear on plane)
1 pair shorts
1 something to swim in
1 pair lightweight pants
3 t-shirts
2 short sleeve summer shirts
socks, underwear
1 windbreaker jacket (wear on plane)
1 jeans (wear on plane)
Upon arrival go to Longs Drug and buy:
flip flops
1 shorts
1 bathing trunks
straw hat
sunscreen
straw beach matt &/or beach chair
How am I doing? ;-) mahalo everyone

Looks good so far - but here's a suggestion...don't need long pants if the shorts are 'reasonably' presentable with collared shirt for dinner. My DH NEVER puts on a pair of long pants once he arrives. Also, can cut back on socks unless needed for playing golf, etc. Sandals (w/o socks)are usually the norm everywhere. Hope he has a great time!

Thanks!
I realize I should probably include reminders for things like:
plane ticket or confirmation code
passport or drivers license
cash, ATM card, credit card
eyeglasses
any prescriptions
guidebook (i loaned him Moon)
&
1 beach towel - or buy there

This is an amusing thread! If he's wearing the birks, he may not need flip flops? Unless he really wants to be able to get into the water w/footwear. Could wear the light weight pants on the plane instead of the jeans? (prob won't be wearing jeans in Maui)? Maui in general is very causal. A golf shirt & chinos' is pretty much as dressed up as it gets, unless you're going all out for a fancy dinner.

David - Bierinstocks (sp?) are sandals.
suze - If your friend doesn't have them he might be better off with taking just a pair of boat shoes. He can wear them wherever he goes (sightseeing, dinner, on boat trips and at the beach) - no need for any sneakers.
Tell him to pack light - take less clothes and bring more money.

Unless he's hiking or going horseback riding, I'd skip the jeans - too hot. Bring another pair of khakis and more shorts unless he's going for a weekend, only...one pair???? Flip flops, Aloha shirt and shorts for the plane ride.

Who knew? this thread would be so popular... Thanks everybody!
That's the problem guys & gals... he doesn't have more than 1 pair of shorts, no nice linen pants or anything. That's why I was hunting up creative solutions from you all. His Seattle gardening clothes are the closest thing to resort wear is my impression (co-worker not friend or traveling companion BTW, my own people have island clothes)
;-)
More money less clothes is likely a wise tip!

Since he is leaving tomorrow, I would definitely suggest he spend a couple hours the first day doing some shopping. Then he wont have to worry about taking the right kind of clothes - he can get them there.

Sorry, never been to Hawaii and don't know specifics, but if you go to this website and type in the details of your future trip, it creates a personalized list:
