Lost 2014 Tour: Kate's Bank

The next stop on my tour was the Chinatown branch of the First Hawaiian Bank.  It appeared onscreen as the bank Kate robbed to retrieve her childhood boyfriend's toy airplane.

Suspicious-looking dude loitering outside bank.
Lovely lady applying for loan inside bank.

I entered the bank to admire the fancy wooden tellers' booths, but didn't snap any pictures.  The best I can do in terms of screen-matching is a shot of the bank doors which appeared onscreen.

Peaceful nook near the gazebo. Gazebo ceiling So happy I was finally able to see this!

In 2011 I toured Kualoa Ranch in a humvee with 3 of my LOSTie pals.  Our driver and guide was a guy named Greg who was actually an extra on the show; one of his appearances was in the Santa Rosa scenes with Hurley.  After arriving ba...
