Ginny, our reader (and in this case photographer) sums up the situation on her way to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico:
As we were boarding the airplane I spotted this perfect tourist couple; the husband and wife were wearing matching dragon shirts marked from a trip they had taken in 2003, and both had fanny packs, (although they had already stored them in the overhead bins before I could take their picture), but the best part was this woman’s perfect mullet!

Having a money belt buried deep under your shirt in the middle of a summer trip to Spain is pretty disgusting. But if you flaunt the sweaty thing for other people to see, what’s the point? It’s kind of like wearing your underwear on top of your clothes.

Tourists are so damn creative when it comes to finding a place to rest their feet. We just hope this National Zoo visitor doesn’t fall asleep and end up slipping off this cuddly bear duo…actually, we would have loved to see that.

There’s all that crap about not wearing white after Labor Day, but what about scrunching yourself down on the floor in order to get a shot of some obscure object while wearing your tightest white jeans in the middle of July? Couldn’t he just stand up like the other Last Vegas tourists?

Subways are shakey but there’s no reason to look like you’re sliding down the pole stripper style. For most of us, keeping the balance with one hand is enough…unless there’s a huge fanny pack (and camera bag) weighing us down.

Besides the whole matching outfits thing these two have going on, we also love the addition of a maroon-colored fanny pack. Though we cringe at the thought of having them in one of our tour groups. Seriously, most eyes adjust poorly to such an overabundance of bright pink.

This German tour group (visiting Rajasthan India) obviously thinks there’s nothing better than having a slew of awkward-looking turban pictures to show their kids. We wonder if they would also dress like geishas in Japan…

Taking a pic at the Chicago Auto Show requires total concentration — and the further you stick your stomach out, the better your balance. Too bad he can hardly see over the railing.
(by Max, who needs to start his own blog soon)
We’ve never wanted to actually make friends with a tourist who ended up on this blog — until now. This dude seems like he’d tell us all kinds of fun stories about the good ol’ days, kind of like a fourth grade teacher type. Though hopefully he’d refrain from uttering a word that rhymes with “rex” because the last thing we need is more tourist trauma.

Feed us! As we continue to grow, we are looking for pics from all over. (We're sure one of you has a great tourist shot from Tanzania, but we're not picky, Paris works too.) Get in touch with our editors at fannypackantics at gmail dot com. For every submission, we'll donate $1 to WWF, the global conservation organization. (That way, we'll feel less guilty making fun of fanny packs and keep the world from overflowing with shopping malls.)
