I woke a little earlier than hoped at just after 1am, but it gave me the opportunity of dealing with some admin. Waking early in the morning when everyone else is still asleep is fab - it's like you have the world all to yourself.

After my 2-3 mile walk last night, I hit the sack at about 10pm. I slept through to about 2am, which isn't bad for me, especially when I had already enjoyed over 2 hours kip earlier in the evening.

Within 30 mins of walking off the AA aircraft, I was checking in at the Hilton Garden Inn, Waikiki Beach. That's pretty good I think.

I managed to turn off the light last night at half past midnight. Three hours later and I was awake and raring to go. The alarm was set for 4am, but there was no point in hanging around.

Another exciting trip to Hawaii that I booked months ago to take advantage of a 180+ day low-cost fare basis. Out of all of the Hawaiian islands, I always choose O'Ahu if I am travelling on my own. There's so much to see and do in Waikiki and I don't need to book a hire car to get around.

My first trip to Hawaii in more than 12 months - I'm getting withdrawal symptoms! This trip starts in Amsterdam and follows the well-trodden path of flying over to Hawaii via London Heathrow, New York JFK and Los Angeles LAX. I start with an initial positioning flight from Heathrow to Amsterdam.
