Hawaii Five-O

Wait for it...

I am a man of little patience, so I will cut to the quick: I emailed the Hawaii board of tourism for a response to the new CBS rehash drama Hawaii Five-O YESTERDAY MORNING, and still have yet to hear from them. See my email below:

Good Morning Sir or Madame,

First of all, let me preface this by saying my wife and I have decided to really get into travel ever since we took our honeymoon in Jamaica this past May. Something about far away beaches and pristine white sand is really appealing (go figure). Some of the places we'd like to visit are Turks and Caicos, various other Caribbean islands, Fiji, and of course, Hawaii.

The reason I am writing this is because I was slightly shocked and a little concerned when I watched Hawaii Five-O last night on CBS. I found the show entertaining and a relevant re-visitation to the original series from the Sixties and Seventies, with good plot updates. But I was truly shocked by the number of guns on the show - the writers made it seem as though everyone on the island had at least one machine gun.

Is this really the case? Safety is of course a concern in any travel excursion and when we were in Jamaica it was upsetting to see anti-American graffiti, and there were some places where we felt truly unsafe. So the question remains - is Hawaii safe? Was Hawaii Five-O just a sensationalist drama?

Thanks for your time.

Best Regards,

To cover all bases, I also sent a similar email to the Ohio tourism board, just because Hawaii and Ohio kinda sound like they were named by the same guy. See the Ohio letter below, where I've highlighted the differences:

These bastards better not leave me out to dry on this one. There will be consequences in Ohio, I promise you.

I'll let you know their responses when they get back to me.
