Yet another trip to Phoenix for a couple of nights via Bucharest, Heathrow, LA and New York. This one doesn’t include the Helsinki shuffle.

I whizzed through to T5 Flight Connections and got on the first T3 bus. It stopped at T5B, but by that stage, it was a squeeze to get anyone else onboard.

After arriving at the lounge complex at JFK T8, I made a conscious decision to check whether there were any decent window seats in the Soho lounge before defaulting to the Chelsea Lounge.

On the way home today! It was a very early start, but I'd had a good amount of sleep in my comfy bed at the Hampton Inn & Suites.

Knowing that the clouds would lift in the afternoon, and having had disappointing views from the Hollywood sign yesterday, I wanted to climb up to the sign again. This time from a different starting point.

I woke at around 2am, which meant I had had a half-decent night's sleep. There's never any point in trying to adapt to the local timezone, since I am heading back home within a few days of arriving.

I had a Warner Bros Studio Tour planned for 11am, but I decided I may as well head up there early. My heel was hurting, so the earlier I could finish off any heavy walking, the better.

I woke at around 2am, so I got a decent amount of sleep, but I knew there was no chance I was going to get back to sleep. I had an exciting plan for this morning: to hike up to the Hollywood sign, aiming to start my hike not long after sunrise (a little before 6am).
