2020 Hawaii Trip [Day 14 – O`ahu, Hawaii and Flight to Austin via Phoenix]

Posted on November 6, 2020November 16, 2020 by Aaron Boltman

My final day in Hawaii. I made the most of it by starting the day with watching the sunrise over Diamond Head and a short swim in the ocean before checking out. A short visit back at the US Army Museum to see the Cobra helicopter. More fresh fish for lunch and then the afternoon at the Bishop Museum before finally flying out on the red-eye.

Posted on November 5, 2020November 18, 2020 by Aaron Boltman

I started the day snorkeling at Ala Moana park and had intended to take a Catamaran ride at 11 AM before having lunch, but the Catamaran got rescheduled to 3 PM and I had to make some adjustments. I visited the Byodo-In temple and spent the rest of the day in Waikiki after the Catamaran ride.

2020 Hawaii Trip [Day 12 – O`ahu, Hawaii]

Posted on November 4, 2020November 21, 2020 by Aaron Boltman

A lot of flying today. I managed to fly at five different scenic locations today. My first stop was at Pearl Harbor. No flying there due to it’s proximity to the Navy base. My first flight was at the Aloha Tower where the NCL Pride of America and Falls of Clyde were docked. My second stop was at the Lanikai Pillboxes, where I have hiked in the past. The next stop was near the Halona Blowhole to get pictures of Koko Head. After that I stopped between Koko Head and Hanauma Bay to get photos of both. My last stop before sunset was at a park nearby Diamond Head in Waikiki. It was a very productive day, and without the hiking involved it was not exhausting.

I started the day by snorkeling at Shark’s Cove which was supposed to be the best place on O`ahu for snorkeling. I got some more delicious fresh fish at a small restaurant. I ended the day at the free Army museum in Waikiki and watching the sunset at the beach.

2020 Hawaii Trip [Day 10 – O`ahu, Hawaii]

Posted on November 2, 2020November 16, 2020 by Aaron Boltman

I was planning to go around the east side of the island today and end up on the north shore to see some of the big waves in the afternoon. I started by stopping at the Hālona Blowhole before hiking up to the Makapu`u lighthouse. After a quick lunch in Kane`ohe I stopped at Kualoa regional park to fly my drone in the scenic area. I ended the day watching the sunset and big waves at Waimea Beach.

Posted on October 31, 2020November 16, 2020 by Aaron Boltman

This morning I flew from Kaua`i to O`ahu on Southwest. I spent the day in Waikiki as it wasn’t the best weather (a bit of rain) and I wasn’t in the mood to drive around much.

2020 Hawaii Trip [Day 7 – Kaua`i, Hawaii]

Posted on October 30, 2020November 13, 2020 by Aaron Boltman

I woke up early this morning to fly near Anahola because of the interesting mountain that was actually featured in King Kong. Because it is on the east side of the island the lighting is best in the morning. After checking in for my flight tomorrow I went snorkeling at Lydgate Park which was much better than I expected. In the afternoon I took an amazing helicopter ride around the island.
