I'm a Sour Sap
So when we came across agricultural inspections at Honolulu International Airport before our flight back, I had little cause for concern.

I wasn't sure what was allowed and what wasn't, but I tried anyways. I figured the agricultural inspection was just to avoid bringing mainland fruit to Hawaii, not vice versa. So, naturally, :) I had my bag loaded with plenty exotic fruits from North Shore. I was hoping to come home to SoCal and be able to plant some of these at our place and be able to reap the fruits of my labor for years to come :)

Soursops (sour sap), Mango's, Papayas, and Avocados were all stashed in my bag. Unfortunately they red flagged my bag and confiscated them right there on the spot. :(

I did manage to smuggle a chunk of sugarcane across which I plan to possibly plant shortly (shhh!).
