I ordered an Uber at 5:30pm – I always get to the point of thinking I may as well get on my way.  Why wait any longer?  Glad I did.  The Uber was fine and got me to the airport at around 6pm.  I headed to AA check in since I couldn’t check in online […]

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 […]

Into the AA lounge and I found that the Flagship Lounge isn’t open right now – so it’s just a standard Admiral’s Club.  I scanned my boarding card and up the steps to the Hawaii pre-clear desk, which ended up being a bit of a struggle. I showed the guy all of my details including […]

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 […]

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! […]
