Why “Hawaiian Time” is the Best Excuse for Being Late

You could show up on time. But why rush when everyone knows Hawaiian Time is a state of mind? Whether it’s a beach day that turns into a sunset hangout or a “quick drink” that spirals into karaoke until 2 AM, being late in Hawaii is practically a cultural tradition. So next time someone gives you side-eye for strolling in 30 minutes late, just remind them—you’re simply living your best, island-prioritized life.
