I occupied my room at the LAX Hilton for about 4 hours I think. In that time I was in bed for about 3 hours and asleep for about 30 mins. Not impressive after 29 hours of travelling.

As it happens, it didn't take long for me to get through border control and I was quickly out of the terminal waking over the road heading towards the Air Train.

So not an auspicious start for my new passport. I'll persevere with it and ultimately I am not sure what I can actually do about these problems at the T5 automated kiosks.

I woke up early, feeling quite queasy after eating so much late afternoon and into the evening; perhaps combined with the 3 glasses of champers I was forced to consume.

First thing I had to do when I reached The First Wing was to check my booking. Something was stopping me from checking in for my BA LHR to JFK flight tomorrow.
