The D concourse at Schipol airport was chocker when we arrived at the end of the airbridge, with quite a few passengers waiting for the flight back to Heathrow.

The shuttle bus arrived into stop 28 at Heathrow T5. The shuttle driver was a friendly woman who liked having her rock music on reasonably loud! Made a change to the usual shuttle drivers I've experienced.

I've not had a very early start ahead of a trip for a long time. I often stay at a hotel the night before nowadays. Today I was up not long after 3am. That's an early start!

Another exciting trip to Hawaii that I booked months ago to take advantage of a 180+ day low-cost fare basis. Out of all of the Hawaiian islands, I always choose O'Ahu if I am travelling on my own. There's so much to see and do in Waikiki and I don't need to book a hire car to get around.

My first trip to Hawaii in more than 12 months - I'm getting withdrawal symptoms! This trip starts in Amsterdam and follows the well-trodden path of flying over to Hawaii via London Heathrow, New York JFK and Los Angeles LAX. I start with an initial positioning flight from Heathrow to Amsterdam.

I had a good wander around the terminal building, well, the departures level anyway - I couldn't be bothered going down to one of the lounges. As I understand it, they are not much to write home about anyway.

I had a quick wander around the terminal and it was quite busy - busier than it was two weeks ago. I am not sure the bars were open last time I was here.
