Night cross country to Hilo. Pilotage and dead reckoning, and VOR navigation. Diversion to alternate. Filed a PIREP. 

Performed well on pilotage and dead reckoning, night takeoff and landing, forward slip to landing, maintaining headings, and turbulence avoidance.

Areas for improvement:
VOR navigation, selecting radials, flying to and remaining on course.
Radio communications. More specifically, reading back clearances concisely.
Staying on assigned altitude (IR), will also practice in simulator.
