2:40
Vegas
2:42
Leaving Las
2:56
time definitely a nice little change
2:56
between Alaska and what Florida will be
3:07
I think by the time I arrived tonight I
3:07
have been gone 3 weeks on this last
3:09
little journey I like doing like two or
3:13
three little little two or three weeks
3:14
little journey when I start my
3:15
International stuff next year I'm going
3:17
to try to go between two and 3 weeks
3:19
each month maybe two weeks two weeks to
3:21
20 days let's call
3:25
it and then go home for a week to 10
3:28
days I'm not going to be home long after
3:31
I get home either maybe a week I don't
3:33
know we'll see how it guys I'm getting
3:35
out of town just before the insanity
3:39
begins with the F1 again I did go to a
3:42
little uh teaser of the F1 yesterday
3:44
with the practice that was kind of busy
3:46
but nothing of what it's going to be
3:48
like here this weekend I'm getting out
3:50
I'm getting out about an hour or about
3:52
45 minutes to an hour till boarding
3:54
begins it is a little brighter today
3:56
this is the most Sun that I have
3:58
probably seen since I have departed
4:01
Florida over 3 weeks ago there was no
4:03
really no sun in Alaska there was a
4:05
little bit of sun but it was even shaded
4:07
by the clouds and in my time here in
4:08
Vegas has been a little Oho I almost
4:12
this kind of this buckled this right
4:14
here should have probably been standing
4:15
on the vent but yeah this it's
4:17
definitely sunny I got myself a piping
4:19
hot C at beverage luckily I held on to
4:25
that all right going to go towards the
4:25
towards the gate I wasn't even thinking
4:27
they probably have a Delta Sky Lounge
4:30
here they have coffee at but I wasn't
4:32
thinking I went ahead and just purchased
4:33
a coffee as well they probably have a
4:36
Sky Lounge here but I just forgot about
4:37
it cow TSA here is a whole other level
4:40
just I mean this isn't I've already gone
4:42
through the checkpoints but yeah it's
4:44
the first thing I thought of other than
4:45
like a Terminator version here at this
4:47
little store yeah I don't know if this
4:48
is Delta or not but there is a club here
4:50
so could get a little souvenir from the
4:52
Formula 1 I'm not getting any souvenirs
4:54
from the Formula 1 but they do have it
4:55
even though I do like these like bigger
4:58
little bags right here that you can walk
4:59
$5 toast yes right here in the airport
5:02
gate waiting area there are slots hopped
5:06
over here to The Wheel of
5:08
Fortune and these are 25 cent spins I
5:12
put $20 in I've already done two spins
5:15
this will just uh waste some time until
5:17
it's time for me to
5:18
board get they're 20 bucks in usually
5:21
never win I did have some pretty good
5:23
luck this time in Vegas on slots but
5:25
right now just this is better more
5:27
entertaining than sitting there staring
5:29
at a wall so the lady that's working
5:31
here that if you win big she gives you
5:33
the money she was saying that recently a
5:35
guy won 1.5 million here in this airport
5:39
he left his mom at the baggage claim and
5:42
ended up winning over a million dollars
5:45
I don't think you're going to win it on
5:46
a 25 set machine like this but yeah and
5:50
I had no luck whatsoever with that $20
5:52
so I'm just going to walk away I had a
5:53
pretty good week in Vegas though I
5:55
definitely came out on top look at
5:56
Frankenstein this looks like a fun one
5:58
it's like Universal monster
6:00
Frankenstein action right there I'm not
6:02
going to be oh look that's actually a
6:03
nice Comfort it's like a two-seater
6:04
that's like either that or for just like
6:06
a really big person like me gift shops
6:08
here they do sell gum some airports do
6:11
some don't taking off with Delta I flew
6:15
Alaska Air a couple times when I was up
6:16
in Alaska flew Delta to Alaska but then
6:18
when I was going around the humongous
6:21
State I was doing Alaska Air but I back
6:24
Delta
6:25
Airline monkey right here it's almost
6:27
like a baseball rally monkey except it's
6:29
a Vegas rally monkey all right it's 65°
6:34
now currently in Vegas currently in
6:37
celebration it is pretty dang nice this
6:40
is a good time for me to be going home
6:42
67° now I'm going to be landing at
6:45
midnight Florida time because you do
6:47
have that time difference it's going to
6:49
be 49° at home at
6:53
midnight through 1
6:56
through if you're TR with the today have
7:00
their own boarding pass if not come see
7:02
me here at d42 and I'll be happy to add
7:05
the in to your
7:13
reservation sun's out they got the
7:13
little blinds
7:24
down also the first day I've ever used
7:24
Sky
7:25
miles I've racked up a lot of Sky miles
7:27
already since I've been using my MX card
7:30
with Delta and they had I was sitting in
7:33
Comfort plus today and there was a
7:34
couple of first class seats and I used a
7:36
few of my sky miles to upgrade without
7:39
having to spend any money I mean I've
7:41
already spent money buying the flights
7:42
I've been flying with the with Delta and
7:45
the MX for the last 6 seven months but
7:47
I've racked up a lot of Sky miles in my
7:49
travels and I use a few of them so now I
7:52
have a an upgraded seat where I didn't
7:55
have to take any money out of out of my
7:57
wallet or anything which is kind of nice
7:59
first time using the sky miles
8:03
program probably won't be the last
8:04
either I still got some other miles in
8:05
there but usually try not to use them
8:07
unless I need to but because I do not
8:10
have my MX CU my wallet was lost and the
8:12
the new card is going to be at home when
8:13
I get home I don't have that attached so
8:15
all the flights that I already had
8:16
booked are already are already being
8:18
used so instead of trying to link up the
8:20
other car that I don't have until I get
8:22
home until my mailbox I just went ahead
8:24
and used the sky Mouse and it was
8:25
confusing but yeah that's that's what I
8:26
did all right I am sitting in seat 4
8:30
a
8:31
today 4 a four Alpha for four
8:48

11:50

11:52

Celler networks during flight the use of
12:35
Wi-Fi to make voice or video calls okay
12:38
this is awesome Grand Canyon action here
14:13
thing that always amazes me about the
14:13
grand Canon or all the different
14:17
layers me just look how spectacular it
14:19
is from up here standing there at the
14:22
edge just wow it's
14:25
just hard to explain what it's like
14:28
standing there
14:30
even just looking out an airplane window
14:32
I know I'm filming a lot of
14:33
this but it's just so cool it's saw
14:36
something you fly over all the time and
14:39
then when you're going out of
14:47
Vegas and I have a perfect window view
14:47
for it
16:02
all right over New Mexico now it almost
16:02
looks like there's snow down there I
16:04
think there
16:05
is the elevated areas of New
16:08
Mexico been covering some
16:11
ground also got a little meal a little
16:13
chicken meal
16:54
sit in up right and block position I'll
16:54
unrest is
16:55
load tables is stowed
17:03
all laptop computers and other large
17:03
electronic devices have to be stored at
17:06
this time under the seat in front of
17:11
you we will be l in shortly
18:07
all right I got to take a transportation
18:07
device over to the tea gates to catch my
18:10
connecting flight or I could just take
18:12
this and walk over to the te Gates I
18:14
always like walk it through here with
18:15
the like it was like a little foliage on
18:17
the roof like illuminated foliage I'm
18:20
not sure exactly what that's supposed to
18:21
be but that's kind of the impression
18:23
that I
18:28
get all right one thing's for sure if
18:28
you ever have to go from A or B Gates
18:31
over to the T gate it is really an
18:34
undertaking cuz you got to go a long way
18:36
go up and down escalate it's like it's
18:39
like a maze to get to the tea Gates here
18:40
actually a good thing I had like an hour
18:42
before the next boarding cuz if I had
18:44
like a half hour in his rush I probably
18:45
wouldn't have made it guz you got to
18:47
he's he's definitely running got about a
18:50
half hour to my flight boards T2 is down
18:52
there this is right next to T6 so I
18:55
think I'm going to check out the Sky
18:56
Club pretty well I got to make this
18:58
quick this one closes in 15 minutes so
19:00
take a look at these little robots here
19:01
this is like one of those things you go
19:03
on a drivein and then it has a view
19:05
Master for aead a little pop culture
19:09
combination with a robot you got some
19:10
like pool balls here and then you also
19:12
have a little uh video camera right
19:15
there little old telephone making up a
19:17
making up a
19:18
dog right there now make it
19:22
myself Americana right here
19:33
everyone's heading out it's
19:33
853 closing up at 9 and I got to run
19:37
over and board we got to wait till we
19:40
get on the
19:47
plane generally speaking when placing
19:49
those larger roller bags in the overhead
19:52
bins on this particular aircraft if you
19:54
turn them sideways on their on their
19:57
sides like a book on a bookshelf we do
20:00
have a
20:01
93% probability of accommodating
20:04
everyone's luggage on the airplane so
20:07
once again turn those bags on their
20:09
sides like a book on a bookshelf that
20:11
will help us accommodate more bags on
20:14
the aircraft you return trip home we
20:17
still have quite a few of your fellow
20:19
passengers standing in the Jet Bridge
20:21
awaiting to join you guys on board by my
20:24
count there are 74 passengers all right
20:29
since I'm sitting in an exit seat I have
20:30
to follow the exit seat
20:32
criteria these are the responsibilities
20:35
of opening the door each number
20:39
corresponds
20:42
with photos
20:49
here
20:49
also we're uh waiting on we're waiting
20:52
on the pilots to show up cuz the last
20:54
the pilots were on another flight so
20:57
about 30 minutes delay
20:59
be about 15 minutes before we depart so
21:01
definitely going to be a late arrival to
21:03
Orlando this is also a really tight seat
21:06
so the upgrade that I got the upgrade
21:09
that I had did not correspond to sitting
21:11
in the same seat section for the second
21:20
flight says starting the
21:20
application we think this TV Works they
21:40
they have a seat for them but they
21:40
cannot do for departure cross check and
21:42
the way all call
22:02
yeah I'm so used to always looking out
22:02
the window it's going to be weird like
22:04
trying to peer hole through this little
22:05
fisheye thing right there always get a
22:08
window seat but I didn't realize I was
22:09
going to be able to look out one so I'm
22:10
kind of getting claustrophobic in the
22:12
spot
22:15
also W be able to look at the flight
22:17
path and also this is a really this is
22:21
an exit row you can't reach to turn the
22:24
air up and down that's as far as I can
22:28
go see got another foot up there towards
22:31
that just little
22:44
things yeah it's weird that I'm feeling
22:44
like so claustrophobic in the spot I
22:46
think it's cuz I can't really look out a
22:47
real
22:48
window it's kind of my
22:51
thing I do have plenty of leg room which
22:53
is nice but the seat is like really tiny
22:55
like squished in
22:57
here I think the leg room is more
22:59
important
26:25
than
26:59
more
27:19
1208 just after the cusp of
27:20
midnight and in the 3 weeks I have been
27:24
gone from this Airport
27:31
they put their Christmas tree
27:31
up back just in time for the holidays to
27:34
get in full
27:41
swing you know what interesting the
27:42
first section of the flight was about 3
27:44
hours the second leg of the flight was
27:46
about an hour and that second leg seemed
27:49
about 10 times longer than the first one
27:51
was really crunched in there and just
27:53
like shoved in that corner I did have I
27:55
did have leg room other than that the
27:57
rest of it was kind of not the not the
28:00
most comfy and then that little window I
28:02
was trying to it's weird cuz I start
28:04
going I start
28:07
getting trying to think of the
28:09
word I start kind of losing it a little
28:12
bit when I feel claustrophobic and I
28:14
can't look out a window on a plane I
28:16
feel like that's why I enjoy flying is
28:18
like looking out the out the window I
28:19
don't know it's just like a weird tick I
28:21
have but I felt like I was on the felt
28:24
like I was on the submarines at
28:26
Disneyland the finding NE Subs now I was
28:28
like looking out his little window
28:30
that's what it felt like and this the
28:32
flight intendant were like looking at me
28:33
like what's this guy doing filmed out
28:35
this little tiny hole on the side of the
28:37
emergency
28:38
door anyway I I landed there that one's
28:41
already filled up so I get on the next
28:43
one well that's like one like cran like
28:45
sardines in
28:46
there it's like really really packed
28:50
think everybody kind of jumped on the
28:51
first one maybe the second one will have
28:52
a little more elbow run is anything even
28:55
going to move all right successful took
28:58
the gate
29:06
link feels good to be back in Florida
29:06
for a little while for a little
29:14
while also kind of a weird feeling when
29:14
I return back to Central
29:24
Florida long going Christmas tree up in
29:24
here as well they have it covering the
29:27
fountain
29:28
that was not up when I departed was
29:31
crazy honestly I don't remember maybe it
29:33
was up I don't think it was up I don't
29:35
think it was
29:37
up I don't
29:44

30:38
and catch the little shuttle over to the
30:40
economy lot the South economy lot behind
