Once through passport control, I took the lift up 1 level to the Arrivals Lounge which is the best place to get a shower. I definitely needed to freshen up.

After asking for a printed boarding card for my two BA flights back to Heathrow, then on to Budapest, I headed through to Fasttrack Security which was a farce as normal.

So my decision to head to TBIT turned into a bit of a nightmare to be honest. Starbucks at TBIT is normally disorganised with a very long queue.

My Uber arrived - it was a comfortable Toyota Land Cruiser, with a brand new driver to the Uber game.

I checked out a tad before my deadline of 1pm imposed by the hotel, so I wandered up the road to the Hilton Waikiki Beach hotel and chanced my arm at getting an early check in.

I am quite pleased with myself for the amount of sleep I got overnight! I turned out the light at around 11pm and slept through to about 3am.

I was very pleased to find a very accommodating check in agent at the Hilton Garden Inn (HGI). My suite wasn't available but she found a very nice partial ocean view room on the 19th floor for me.
