It's a classic trip out to Hawaii. Long gone are the days when we need to do ex-EU B2B same plane turnarounds in Dublin to get a good number of TPs at a half-decent price.

Wow - we are heading back for a multi-island Hawaiian holiday. This time we are starting on Kauai, then heading over to O'Ahu for my birthday bash and finally on to Big Island.

Started the day with a discounted breakfast on site. Standard price is $29.95 - it’s discounted to $19.95 if you arrive between 6:30 and 7, and then we had two $10 credit vouchers.

Woke a few times during the night, but we both slept through to 05:30, so ready to watch the sun rise.
