Flew to Honolulu via Sydney. Wasn't too bad. Didn't sleep much on the plane. US customs was surprisingly painless, and almost disturbingly so: I even told the passport kiosk I had food, but no one asked me what it was.
Time is weird. I left at 2pm 27 November, and arrived at noon 27 November.
I kind of regret my choices. My immediate neighborhood here has no sidewalks or safe green space to walk on, so it's dicey until I get to the sidewalks on busier streets. Downtown might have been better but also more expensive and this place ain't cheap as it is.
Kind of twisted my ankle yesterday. Don't think it's too bad but I'm taking it easy today, given all slopes I'd have to walk down and up.
Took Lyft/Uber twice. Kept getting told the many airport shuttles only do hotel dropoffs, not the home dropoff of SuperShuttle. Then took an Uber with my groceries, given my ankle. Bus infrequent and would leave an uphill walk.
Bus system apparently mostly runs on cash. They experimented with a smart card last year but I can't find any mention of some place that actually sells them. There are monthly passes for $70, tried to figure if it'd make sense to get one. If I took the bus twice a day for the next 13 days, yes.
7-11 here has no real groceries to speak of but does have bento and onigiri, though they call the latter something else.
Have seen various small kids on their own, all Asian or native looking.
