Hey, wrong way!
There is one obvious faux pas with this little landing: you landed East to West... the Tradewinds in the Central Pacific do NOT premit his, unless you want to land at over 250 knots. I've landed at least 40 times at that airport (as a passenger, admittedly), inbound from the US and abroad, and the approach was ALWAYS from the West. Also sitting in the Honolulu terminal for hours on end watching TOs/landings confirms this; they always takeoff East and turn to the South-Southeast, banking to the right with a high AOA after take off to avoid Waikiki (noise ain't good for the tourists ya know:) ).
Other than that, about what the other guy said, don't worry - that landing wasn't half as hard as those Aloha Airlines guys, hot-dogging it in their 737-200's - I swear they do like 60 knots on the taxiways.
