This was our first post on our first blog! This was the place we kept everyone up to date with what we were up to on our road trip holiday on the US West Coast in June 2012.
This is the blog page. This is where we share longer articles, which aim to share important concepts and ideas. It is also the general page for showing author, category, tag and time-based archives.
Posts are normally shown in reverse chronological order, in groups of 10, but you can adapt the results using the controls below.

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 […]

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! […]

The CCR was very quiet. I had just short of 2 hours before my flight to New York. My Starbucks was really satisfying and I caught up with the Vickster who had been partying in my absence. After writing up my notes for the blog, I checked on gate info and noticed that my flight […]
