2019: The last best year

Tokyo 2019

 

















It's sad to see that the best has yet to come (besides going to Heaven) has, for the most part, come to an end. 2019 is the last time most of us had any relative freedom. Today's freedom is a joke. I will stop momentarily right here because I refuse to accept anything the government and the media is telling you these days. Their version of "in this together" differs to mine. So if you are already getting pissed off because I don't fit the world's narrative, just go some where else ok? Once again, everything I believe differs to the media narrative. Go and keep trusting your science (the political narrative). Still here? Ok, let's continue.

My first time to Tokyo, and sadly, it most likely will be my last. I got to see the last Tower records or one of the last in the world. Ate good food and ramen. Got to sightsee lots. Hachiko, Cherry Blossoms, Mt Fuji and more good food ensued here.

Kyoto, Osaka, and Hiroshima.



















Looks like fun, right? Lots of beautiful and historical places to see.

Nara and Osaka again.















Man, Japan was awesome!

Hong Kong


























Hong Kong: Bruce Lee, more good food, lots of places to sightsee. Was good to be back after a 24 yr hiatus away from HK.

Macau














More good food. Was nice to be here as well. Small island but nice to meet up with family and all. It was also nice to see a Chinese opera in play.

Bend, Oregon














The Last Blockbuster video in the entire world resides here! Smith Rock was an awesome place to hike and Crater Lake is a nice two hr drive from here. Totally worth it. I really loved Bend, Oregon!

San Diego


























San Diego did mark the end of my 2019 travels. I actually loved San Diego, I wished I could go back to find all the sculptures in Anza Borrego, another two hr drive from San Diego. It can still happen but in my dreams for now. 


Honorable mention

San Jose, Santa Cruz, and Las Vegas 2020.


























At one point, I said I never go back to Las Vegas ever again, and ironically, it was the last of my travels thus far. I take Las Vegas travels any day now over an illegal government lockdown they have imposed on the world. I sensed the government was going to do something drastic so I packed my bags and did this quick travel to San Jose, Santa Cruz, and my possibly last visit back to Vegas two weeks before this dreaded pre-martial law lockdown. It was nice and I thank Jesus for allowing me to do lots of these travels. It made me a happy person and I know I could do all these things through Christ. Looking back, most of my travels were me alone with the Lord and I do not regret it one bit. Thank you Jesus!

Today in Oahu, Hawaii 6/30/20: Laie Point Sea Arch, Sunset Beach, Sharks Cove, Laniakea Beach, and Haleiwa Alii Beach.

La'ie Point (La'ie Point State wayside Park) Tamron Lens shot 70-300mm   Tamron Lens shot 70-300mm Tamron Lens shot 70-300mm Ditto on the Tamron   Also known as "Lizard Rock." There is a story behind this but I won't divulge into it. You can look this up online. I finally got a chance to check this place out. A very nice scenery with a small parking lot. Also folks, try to park in a fashion where others can park and enjoy the view as well. There was a car that literally, in a sense, double parked (took up lots of space) forcing me to nearly park near an edge. Please be courteous to others. We want to enjoy the view and grab memories as well. Sunset Beach     A shot under the tree A shot under the tree: the opposite direction   As you enter the beach, to your right is the famous 100 year old tree that everybody sits and takes a pic with despite a sign telling you to not sit on it.

Fairbanks, Alaska 3/6-3/9

  Here was the ender to my trip before my return to HNL. First time to Alaska and hopefully it won't be my last. Santa Claus House Possibly the best place to shop for gifts if you are near here. It's about 20-25 mins south of Fairbanks. Antler Arch The museums here are free. Take advantage. The arch was close by as well. Ice Museum Fairbanks $15. Good for family, couple, or group pics. Regardless, there is a slide here that is worth the admission. Around the area, there is a Moldovan restaurant named Soba. It was my first time and worth the try! Pioneer Park Closed during these times, its a neat touristy spot to walk your legs. You can walk inside but most shops and attractions are closed however. Come during summer.  Pikes Waterfront Lodge This was the place where I initially wanted to stay at first but Airbnb often provide cheaper results. The Love Alaska sign is here and there are some ice sculptures as well. I say this is the hotel that is worth a see if you are here. My ...

Makiki Valley secret waterfall Oahu hikes

Because it's considered a secret I can not divulge how to get there. If you recognize some of the landmarks in my pics, then it should be good enough to tell you where it is. The waterfall is found in Makiki Valley loop trail so good luck. It is roughly about 20-30 mins in from the entrance. I did this with the meetup.com crew. So enjoy the pics.  If you find it then good for you. And remember to keep it a secret.  The waterfall Enjoy. It's a nice scene if you do find it. You can hike to the top of the fall in which I did. It's like several minutes if anything from the bottom. Just always watch your footing. Take care folks. Thank you God and thank you to the meetup.com crew. Laters.
