Back to Honolulu

We caught a glimpse of sunrise as we were landing in Honolulu and we were admitted into the US with no hassle. The customs agent were cheery, and tried to make us feel better about handing over our Sweet Tango apple (we forgot to eat it on the plane 😢) by reminding us that we were now in the land of delicious pineapples!

It is currently 9am Hawaii time, on March 14th, the second time around. Hawaii doesn't do daylight savings, and New Zealand hasn't changed their clocks yet, so the time change is still 23 hours, but now we are 6 hours behind EDT.

We are now in the land of gigantic, dilute espresso drinks (a "regular" size latte is 16 oz, compared to the 6oz flat white I drank en route to the Auckland airport, today, the first time around). At least it's warm and sunny here; we are in complete denial about the presence of snow at home. It has 6 days to finish falling and then promptly melt away...
