I seem to have already found a little sleep routine. When we go to bed early, I grab an hour or so, then get up. Then head back to bed later.

After deboarding the aircraft at Lihue airport, we could feel the ambient warmth, which was lovely. This is one of the reasons that we had travelled so far.

Deboarding off our Heathrow flight was relatively quick via door 2L as normal. As we walked through the rabbit warren of corridors there was a horrendous wail coming from a security door which was locked.

Today was one of those days which I really don't like. It's a day when we are hanging around waiting for the right time to leave to go to the airport. I much prefer getting on the road as soon as I can in the morning.
