I woke earlier than I had planned to - 3:30am - so I had over 4 hours kip, and as long as I don’t get any more screaming babies, I might be able to catch up on a few Zs on the flight to HNL.

So I now had the challenge of getting across New York from JFK to EWR. If you look at a map, the two airports are (roughly) equidistant from Manhattan and (roughly) on the same level.

Once we got the call to reboard, we were back on the plane within a minute, and it was only another 5 or 10 mins before we were taking off for JFK. I didn’t notice the time, but it felt like we were about on time.

The hotel bed was very comfortable – I woke at 5:30 – a touch later than my normal time of waking – although I had two beers the previous night, and that’s a lot for me on a school night.

I spent about an hour in the lounge at Brussels Airport - it’s an ok lounge but there’s nothing much going on - the views aren’t that great and the food/drink isn’t that good either.

I found my way to the Galleries First Lounge at T5. I had enjoyed my first Starbucks of the trip. Jim is my Starbucks name!

Woke up just after 4am and after some last-minute packing I was ready for my taxi ride to MAN airport (well Vick was taking me). BPs had been printed off, laptop bag was packed, and we would be off very soon. I was starting to get excited…
