Siðir og menning
fruits, vegetables and plant life…
Buy plant life from the Aloha Stadium Swap Meet Marketplace, as some vendors’ products (plumeria branches 🥰) have been preapproved for travelers to take home with them in their luggage. DO NOT attempt to take sand, rocks, plants etc on the plane THEY WILL CONFISCATE! I know because it happened to me and it’s now against the law so ship instead!
