Good quality sleep I did get, but just for about 4 hours or so. I was wide awake at midnight and decided to do some covid tests and see whether I could check in for my flights back home. By the time I had stopped messing around it was coming on for 4am and that […]

I woke at around 2am which wasn’t too bad for me. Earliest Starbucks to open is 4am and is the one I have visited a few times, normally on a walk to Diamondhead. That was the first planned event for the day. This was my rest day so I needed to take it easy! 😊 […]

On check in, the desk asked to see my Safe Travels ticks. They assigned me room 1456 which was a bog-standard city view room. No upgrade. I couldn’t be bothered pushing – I really wanted to crash at this point. After a quick shower, I decided to head out and revisit a few haunts. I […]

Tier Point Run to Hawaii in Nov 2021: Day 3 – New York JFK to Los Angeles LAX

I slept ok for about 4 hours, but by the time New York hit midnight I was wide awake. I decided not to fight it – I struggle sleeping in at the best of times, so when I have critical timed stuff to do, there’s no chance. It’s the third day and I haven’t gone […]

Tier Point Run to Hawaii in Nov 2021: Day 2 – New York JFK

For once, the Hilton Digital Key worked like a dream. I was prompted that it was available; it allowed me to use the lift up to my room and allowed me access to my room as well – it was dead easy to use. Really useful if only it worked consistently across all Hilton properties! […]

Tier Point Run to Hawaii in Nov 2021: Day 2 – Early Morning in Paris

Woke at 6am – I had set my alarm for 7am. Felt fairly rested even considering the very soft mattress. The hotel is fairly worn, but has big rooms. It doesn’t seem too busy, but there were a lot of rooms on floor 4 which were being used – I could tell by all of […]
