A friend of the blog had to cancel a much-anticipated trip to Hawaii this week, so to cheer him up, we thought we’d share a bunch of things it’d probably be a terrible idea to say to him about this development. Nobody say these to our friend!
- Hey man, it’s ok. I’m sure you’ll get there when you’re retired in four or five decades.
- Hey pal, heard you canceled your trip. At least you get to stay home instead, in the same place you’ve spent so many of these last fifteen months since your world became so very small.
- You canceled that trip? That’s cool. Doing things you’re really looking forward to is usually a letdown anyway. Unless, you know, it’s Hawaii. I hear Hawaii’s never a letdown.
- Yeah, what’s so great about Hawaii, anyway? Especially at a time when you’re wanting to rest and recharge? Can’t do that around all those palm trees and beaches with the sun shining and people catering to you with skill and enthusiasm because your tourism dollars help make their economy run.
- Look on the bright side. At least flying to an isolated archipelago in the middle of the Pacific Ocean isn’t expensive or anything. Not like you had to invest a lot of money and then get nothing out of it.
- It’s ok, dude. I hear the midnight sun isn’t that cool anyway. Oh, wait. Hawaii? Not Alaska? Oh man. Yeah. Hawaii’s rad. You’re missing out.
this person cancelled his own trip and is complaining about it? what a little b-word.
but seriously, Hawaii is amazing.
