I woke a little earlier than hoped at just after 1am, but it gave me the opportunity of dealing with some admin. Waking early in the morning when everyone else is still asleep is fab - it's like you have the world all to yourself.

I checked out of the Hilton Garden Inn Waikiki Beach hotel via the Hilton app at around 12:15pm and wandered along Kuhio Ave to the Hilton Waikiki Beach.

After my 2-3 mile walk last night, I hit the sack at about 10pm. I slept through to about 2am, which isn't bad for me, especially when I had already enjoyed over 2 hours kip earlier in the evening.

Within 30 mins of walking off the AA aircraft, I was checking in at the Hilton Garden Inn, Waikiki Beach. That's pretty good I think.

I managed to turn off the light last night at half past midnight. Three hours later and I was awake and raring to go. The alarm was set for 4am, but there was no point in hanging around.

From Gate A21 I whizzed around into Arrivals and found the automated passport kiosks completely empty. Consequently, I was straight through. What was all the fuss about over the last few years?
