If you've ever left HNL, you see this sign...
The stands have been in this spot for over 50 years. It's a tradition
here to give a lei when departing or arriving in Hawaii. So lei
stands popped up at the airport.
Their prices are really good, $5.oo for plumeria or den. orchid lei.
The leis aren't as fancy as the ones you find at the lei shops in Chinatown,
but there are still little ladies sitting there stringing lei.
I found this old photo of what the lei stands looked like in 1956, really not too
different, except for the thatched roofs.
Another one of those "Only In Hawaii" things...
