Aiea Loop Trail W/Plane wreckage Oahu hikes

 Aiea Loop Trail


Did this hike with a new meetup.com group. Started in the lower trail and made our way back to the top trail.

WW II Plane wreckage


Or whatever's left of it. Too bad people couldn't resist in tearing and scavenging the plane apart. From what I heard if you hike down that slope, you may find some additional engine/plane parts. Maybe next time since I was in a group. 

The famous H3 pic



The path to Kalauao Falls?








Found on the beginning top part of the trail


So it was a nice 2.5 hr hike overall though it rained on and off so it was muddy. You get to see the H3 and see a small part of the plane wreckage if you simply stay on the path. From what I gathered, you do need to hike down that slope to find extra bits and pieces of the plane. When you reach the top part of the loop (this is where people usually begin the hike though we did the bottom first), you find the memorial plaque for those that perished in the wreckage. Also if you started at the top, you will find a pathway to your left about 15 mins in. I do believe that is the path to Kalauao falls which is another 3-4 hr hike I heard. Anyhow, have a nice day.

Hawaii Foodiecon 2025 and Yakiniku Like.

  Yakiniku Like Foodiecon was a enjoyable experience. Quite a bit of food vendors. It can be fairly expensive depending on the stuff you buy. Got to try Yakiniku Like over here in HNL. Brings me back to Sapporo which was actually only two months ago. Once again, good if you want a quick meal but if you hoping to be fulfilled, you may want to check into a Yakiniku buffet instead.

Sapporo, Japan Feb 2025 (Pic Heavy)

  Early February trip to Japan. Feb 2 (Hawaii time) Flight from HNL to New Chitose  Food from ANA airlines. Was not a direct flight. One layover. Then a one hr train ride to Sapporo from New Chitose Airport. Landed around 1030PM at night.  (Each day categories pics start from bottom to top, sorry didn't feel like fixing this).  Feb 3 ( Sapporo) (Will be Japan dates from this moment forward) The famous Nikka sign and pretty much a midnight snack before bed. According to google, the restaurant is called Asahi Ga Nobori Susukino and its right across the Nikka sign and has a animatronic ramen display. It's a good restaurant that features a staple of Sapporo: Miso. One of the few places that is open to a much later time. I think 3AM?  Feb 4  Nijo Market  Yup. Hawaii. Nijo Market. Brunch pretty much at Ohiso . Gets packed quick so find a spot to catch your grub quickly. Lots of similar restaurants around here like Ohiso but like I sai...

Another day in Hawaii-Nei 8/11/20 Murals in Oahu.

Well, since hikes and most of the beach (non-swimming) are out of the question. I tried to go the non-Kaka'ako areas to take pics of murals though I ended up going to Kaka'ako for a little bit to scope out my next mural adventure. Without haste, lets get started. Before I start, copyright and credit are given to the respective owners of the murals/paintings. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your pieces of art. I'll also do my best to address the locations as best as possible for those interested. Mural #1     Location:   939 Ke’eaumoku St, Honolulu, HI 96814.  Its the strip club 939 across Dominoes Pizza . This one caught my eye simply because I drive around this area frequently and I saw it the other day, so I decided to inspect it up closer. *Update Feb 2021* Apparently, the girl's chest in the painting is whited out now if you decide to sojourn into this area. What a way to ruin some art, really. Kinda ironic when it's still a stripclub.  ...
