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.

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...

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.

Osaka (Dotombori, Nara, Universal Studios Japan etc...) 100th post for this blog!

 Return to Osaka! It's been 4 years and it was nice to be back. My 100th post for this blog as well! Dotombori Back to Namba Oriental Hotel. Got a fairly decent room for 3. Also did a Pig cafe, The Pigs kept coming to me for sleep. They were probably tired all day. It was roughly 1830PM by then.  Nara   Even the Deers here wait for the bus. J/k. They always hungry so feed them the crackers you can purchase from the vendors on the streets. We didn't do temples this time. You can say we came here for a few hours to feed the deers and that was it.  Back to Dotombori    I've always wanted to visit the Capcom store. Sadly, the displays are the most impressive thing about the Osaka store. You get to play Street Fighter 6 on the big screen but everything in the store is pretty lackluster. The Capcom store and it's superhero neighbors are in the Parco store btw. Universal Studios Japan Pretty much came here for Super Nintendo World (ser...
