I picked up Vick's car without too many challenges and headed out of the car park. It was after 9pm so I expected it to be fairly quiet on the roads.

The transfer arrangements seemed a little odd at BUD. I went direct to the scanners that you can see on the right hand side. I had to stir the team of three into action.

Once through passport control, I took the lift up 1 level to the Arrivals Lounge which is the best place to get a shower. I definitely needed to freshen up.

I checked out a tad before my deadline of 1pm imposed by the hotel, so I wandered up the road to the Hilton Waikiki Beach hotel and chanced my arm at getting an early check in.
