NSB #1 I had to settle on shorts that don't fit. I'm on vacation in Hawaii and I needed some shorts. I hit 3 stores including Wally World and I couldn't find 30" waists, I had to settle for 32"!

NSV #2 I've walked 5+ miles per day in flip flops! I've also snorkled so much that the fish and turtles are getting closer to me. I even did a manta ray snorkeling trip a few nights ago. Quite the contrary to my previous trips here where I felt like I was dying and my feet were killing me.

NSV #3 For once I'M NOT COLD!!! I got to take my polar fleece off as soon as we got off of the plane. I went shopping for shorts immediately. I'm laying in bed with a nice fan above me, no sheets on me and I'm in just underwear and a t shirt! WOO HOO!!! I'm so comfortable that my wife actually suggested looking at retirement here.

Maybe you should have gone for a grass skirt instead. Go completely native!

I love this one, as it really hits home! When I was a 4XL-5XL, I could never find clothes in "regular" stores. Now that I wear S/M and ~30" waist, I can never find those sizes. I'm starting to think all stores are stocked exclusively with L-2XL and 34"-38" pants. Haha.

It's a good problem to have - congrats!

Congrats on such a problem!! I lived in Oahu for 4 years and I recommend H&M in Waikiki. It's a European store and they have men's sizes starting at 28. Also hit up TJMaxx and Forever 21 Mens.

Enjoy your vacation!!

Way to go!!! Sounds like an awesome vacation! Try Target for smaller shorts.
