    Sheesh! No! I brought back the "leftover" beer with me in the suitcase. I couldn't bring back the pineapple and bananas! LOL!

    Hawaii has very strict agricultural laws. When arriving in the state, you have to fill out a form declaring all agricultural products (and animals). When we left The "Big Island", our bags were x-rayed for agricultural products. And then again on Oahu when we transferred from the inter-island terminal to the main terminal. And the nin the lounge at the departure gate, an "agriculture cop" with a sniffer dog was going through the area - and I don't think they were looking for "recreational - type" agricultural products. LOL!

    I thought you are referring to WhereRWe. This reminds me. When I was on my vacation out of the US, I packed a sandwich to my checked baggage. When I got my baggage back I found somebody was going thru my stuff, half was broken and my sandwich was missing. Two weeks later, when I got back to the US, I had nothing to declare on customs. I got back home and found in one pocket in my baggage my missing sandwich. It was all green. Good I did not get arrested for bioterrorism

    I think you'll find Hawaii has strict agricultural laws of it's own on top of those which apply to those entering or leaving the the US. After all, Hawaii is a US state. But because it is small and isolated, there is a greater fear of introduction of unwanted plants and critters than between the contiguous US states.

    California also has stricter controls to protect their agricultural industry. I'll never forget my surprise as I entered California by car from Arizona and came to a border patrol checkpoint several years ago.

    We just returned from the West coast and again entered California by car from Oregon and Nevada. The checkpoints are still being maintained and staffed. Definitely a different experience.
