I woke at 3:30am - much earlier than I hoped. The melatonin not working that well this time around. Got up to date with FT, and checked in on line for my next flights without any problems via aa.com.

I woke earlier than I had planned to - 3:30am - so I had over 4 hours kip, and as long as I don’t get any more screaming babies, I might be able to catch up on a few Zs on the flight to HNL.

So I now had the challenge of getting across New York from JFK to EWR. If you look at a map, the two airports are (roughly) equidistant from Manhattan and (roughly) on the same level.

Shouldn’t be scary this one - I’ve done overseas trips on my own before (well once), and I’ve worn the t-shirt, and watched the video, and read the book etc. No big deal.

This flight was on time and the cabin wasn’t full, so I had the opportunity of sitting next to the window and taking a few photos.

Got to gate D21 about 45 mins before departure and it wasn’t long before they called First class to board. This was my new favourite plane - the 763 - favourite only because they hand out tablets for entertainment.
