I joined the Hui 'O Na Wahine club a little after Charlie and I arrived and I have really enjoyed meeting some awesome military spouses and having fun doing it. I joined the adventure club and this friday we conquered the Makapu'u Lighthouse trail. The trail is on the far east side of the island in Honolulu. I bring my camera everywhere I go and this time I wish I would of brought a back pack to put it in, you will know why later. For hiking I highly recommend a back pack, camera if you are like me, a camelback because you are going to need LOTS of water especially if you live here in Hawaii, and some good hiking shoes because the trails can be a bit difficult. The lighthouse trail is a easy one with amazing views. There was no cloud cover that morning and we were able to see the other island, it was so beautiful. There is a area were you can free hike down to the tide pools. If you are not very athletic I probably would not recommend it. I myself love working out and it was difficult for me. It doesn't help me that I have small legs so climbing up the cliff was relatively hard for me. I forgot a back pack and a only had a nalgene filled with water and ran out relatively quickly(thus the camelback tip). Free hiking with my camera around my neck was extremely difficult, because if I would of scratched it up I would of been UPSET. Luckily I did not, and the camera some how made it scratch free. The tide pools were gorgeous and if I were you I would wear a swim suit under my hiking clothes so you can jump in the tide pools and swim with all the beautiful fish. There are also two blowholes called the dragons nostrils that you should watch out for I know some people have been hurt before not knowing what they were.
Overall we had a amazing time and the hike was wonderful, I can not wait for the next adventure we will tackle.
Aloha Y'all,
Lauren
