Honolulu

Once we got through security we got on a shuttle bus and went to our hotel. The room was not available yet so we just changed clothes and went shopping.

It took us most of the day to visit all the stores we wanted and then some.

We had dinner at the Takonoki, a Japanese restaurant with nice food and very friendly owner.

After dinner we bought some water and went back to the hotel. I was so tired I fell to sleep at once.

Leaving for Hawaii

Met Chie at the Shinagawa station around 5 pm. At 5:20 our NEX train left bound for the Narita airport.

After checking our bags we went straight through security and immigration directly to the Delta lounge. In the lounge we relaxed while eating and drinking. 40 minutes before boarding I had a shower. It felt like… Vacation 🙂

Boarding was kind of exciting. First time I was going on the second floor of a 747. It was nice but felt a bit to be in office where everyone has their own cubicle 🙂 Though these had nicer chairs/beds and bigger screens.

We departed Narita just after 9 pm and arrived in Honolulu around 9 am the same day. Just like a time machine.
