That is how big the room is, or at least the room I had. Reminder that Japan only uses the two prong outlets. If your machines/chargers are three prongs, remember to get an adapter. 

Yatai!

Fukuoka is really popular for their Yatai stands. Got to try it out if you are there. Be part of the experience. The pricing is not bad too.

Lots of these in Japan though this one requires and uphill walk.

Canal City

20231102-132711 20231102-145601

Popular shopping mall. If you need to stop by one, it be this one.

Fukuoka Tower

Worth the views and especially the sunset! 

Return to Canal City and more Yatai!

Kirby Cafe requires reservations. If you want to try it, you must book it in advance. Food was ok. Its gimmicky to me. 

Nanzoin and Daizafu Tenmangu Shrine.

Going to these places can be far and they are not direct to each other. For example, you need to catch a train from Hakata to Nanzoin which can be about half an hr to 40 mins approx. Then you need to catch a train back to Hakata and then jump on a bus or take multiple trains to get to Daizafu. This will probably take another 60-90 mins or so. It's worth it only if you are into these sightseeing things. The last image here is a Starbucks which is popular due to it's numerous wood sticks weaving outwards. Both areas are popular tourist attractions. 

See you in the next blog. It will also be the 100th post of this blog!

Glacier National Park Aug 31- Sept 3, 2002 (Trip# 2 of 3)

  Aug 31, 2022 Layover in Salt Lake City Airport Pick up Stix Kalispell, Montana Roy Rodgers drink from Norm's News and Ramen from Hokkaido Ramen House. Columbia Falls, Montana Food is from Nite Owl Restaurant.  Sept 1 *This day trip is all done by reserving the Going to the Sun road pass. Without it, you can't do any of these activities from 600AM to 4PM. Good luck in getting one. It gets you all amped up trying to get one. Remember, that you need this pass along with the annual national park pass/or $35 pass that is good for 7 days. Add that to the top of your anxiety.* Logan Pass Hike (very popular area. I came at 800AM and got the last parking stall.) Mountain Goats or Rams sighted along with Chipmunks. St Mary Falls and Victoria Falls Hike (Moose sighted) Sun Point Nature Trail Hike Wild Goose Island Lookout Norm's News again (Kalispell) and Abruzzo Italian Kitchen (Whitefish Montana) Nigh Nigh. Activities also done but not show here: Weeping Wall, Birdwoman Overlook,...

Thank God for a good day in Waikiki Oct 5, 2020

  What a better way to start your two week vacation? Yep, a staycation thanks to your government locking you up even denying you the chance to do inter-island traveling. Thank the Lord for my profession for I was able to secure a free night at the Outrigger; there was a promotion for health care professions that allowed you to get a night free only at the Outrigger. 2nd night and beyond at a first responder discount rate. Wish more hotels did this. Anyhow, let's get started. Yeah, Waikiki was like this Dinner and aftermath Moana Surfrider That was it. Had dinner with the family and my nephew. Just walked around a quiet Waikiki to take pics of the hearts all over. 2nd night coming soon. Thank you Lord Jesus for a good day.
