As in previous trips, I didn't sleep very well at the LAX Hilton. It's UK day time and I have had some sleep on my previous flight.

Approaching the T8 premium check-in area, I noticed the First Class check-in area to the right hand side, so I decided I would give it a try.

It was pretty quiet in the CCR. Although I had debated about having breakfast in the CCR, my initial focus was on caffeine, so I hot-footed it down to Starbucks and joined a very long queue

The bed in room 438 at the iBis Styles Hotel at Budapest Airport was fairly hard, but it allowed me to sleep through to the alarm at 5:30am.

This is the flight which is a bit of a bore to be honest. First flight of a complex itinerary where I am heading the opposite way to the way I want to go.

The day got off to a good start: slept to a reasonable time and Mango wasn't too naughty so there wasn't too much needed in avoiding her waking the sleeping Vickster up.

This is another one of the trips to Hawaii that I booked many months ago and subsequently benefited from American Airlines rescheduling flights.

This is the third in a trilogy of trips to Honolulu in the space of a little over 2 months. This is another trip starting in Budapest and follows the well-trodden path of flying over to Hawaii via London Heathrow, New York JFK and Los Angeles LAX
