a.m. but I am going to be leaving these
0:19
temperatures and heading
0:21
northward there a bird right there
0:24
making its way to the
0:26
water I'm heading to the extreme North
0:30
over the next couple
0:31
days today the first leg of
0:35
that I'm going to Minneapolis
0:40
Minnesota where I will be staying the
0:42
night and then tomorrow getting on
0:45
another plane and going even farther
0:55
northward welcome everyone Adam the woo
0:55
here I'm heading to MCO Orlando
0:58
International Airport getting on a Delta
1:00
flight direct flight no layover today
1:03
thankfully The Layover is in Minneapolis
1:05
but instead of getting there waiting
1:07
around getting on another plane and
1:09
heading to Alaska I'm going to be
1:13
stopping getting a hotel relaxing a
1:16
little bit might pop into the Mall of
1:18
America which is right next to the
1:20
airport and then
1:21
tomorrow I'm Alaska bound it's happening
1:24
I'm inviting you to join me from here to
1:28
Minneapolis window seat Delta
1:32
Airline possibly Mall of America just
1:34
see what happens join me shall there was
1:38
no parking
1:40
over at the airport itself so I had to
1:42
park over here in this little area that
1:44
always reminds me of Planes Trains and
1:45
Automobiles where the rental car section
1:47
is Steve Martin freaks out at this isn't
1:50
the rental car section this is the
1:51
economy lot away from the airport and I
1:53
got to take a shuttle over all the
1:55
parking structures are locked up and
1:58
closed off
2:00
so parking over here all right there's
2:02
the shuttles right
2:04
there there's a Delta
2:07
plane there's the control
2:15
tower this happened last time I was here
2:15
too had to park over here I always like
2:17
this though no one Parks you closer that
2:19
is a fabrication of the
2:21
truth because if you parked over there
2:24
in the parking lot you would be
2:26
closer all right
2:31
over where I need to
2:32
be got my backpack got my luggage got
2:37
pey down there holy cow there's a lot of
2:39
people over at the Delta check-in area I
2:42
don't have any check bags I always just
2:45
bring carry on I got everything shoved
2:46
in here and in my backpack all right
2:48
it's showing gate 73 is my gate 10 to 14
2:52
minute
2:53
weit right there 70 through 129 I'm
2:56
looking for gate 73 Minneapolis which is
3:00
shown all the way at the very very top
3:03
right up there and I love the fact that
3:05
it says on time no red actually look at
3:08
this there is no there is no red
3:11
anywhere on this entire board there's
3:15
not one flight as of right now at this
3:17
exact second everything is on time on
3:20
here usually on the far right of each
3:22
column it'll say on time delay cancel
3:25
there's only one yellow up there that's
3:27
just like a couple minutes later than
3:29
normal but nothing
3:31
delayed wow that's rare mine's on time
3:35
that's most important for
3:42
me leaving
3:42
Orlando leaving
3:45
Florida I could take a piece of Florida
3:48
with me if I wanted
3:51
to I'll takeing myself feels good to be
3:53
back traveling again I did a lot of
3:57
traveling not the last month I actually
3:59
spent spent entire month at home in the
4:02
central area all of October from October
4:05
2nd till right
4:07
now before that I was gone for about 3
4:10
months with the exception of like 5 days
4:12
I was gone for an entire 3 months so
4:15
it's nice to be back at it again I got a
4:18
little at home
4:20
time now I'm back at this impressive
4:23
Fountain I get on a fight there he is
4:26
the traveler sculpture not a real person
4:30
that is a work of art right there he's
4:32
been in the same spot for a long time
4:35
right behind this
4:42
glass really doesn't look too bad says
4:42
10 to 14 minutes I have seen this way
4:44
worse than this it's amazing that
4:46
there's no parking anywhere in the
4:47
parking structures but there's no one
4:49
really not seeing people in line yeah
4:50
this is this is pretty sweet also my new
4:53
license worked the one I got yesterday I
4:55
used that as my ID that was incredibly
4:58
fast incredibly smooth incredibly quick
5:01
like 2 minutes at the absolute most I
5:04
put my shoes belt back on put my laptop
5:06
in the bag Etc that was quick that was
5:08
fast all right gate link time please
5:11
remember to check your belongings you
5:13
know
5:14
yesterday I uh went through a whole
5:17
process to get my driver's license back
5:20
and Credit Card issues losing my wallet
5:23
not finding my wallet maybe my wallet's
5:25
stolen maybe it's missing no one really
5:28
knows well I don't know where the heck
5:30
it is so got had to get a whole new
5:32
wallet get new card system set up and a
5:35
new license so definitely now I'm even
5:39
more paranoid about checking things than
5:41
I was before and I was even erratic
5:43
about it beforehand pulling in
5:46
to the
5:49
station I think it's called the gate
5:51
link here Transportation device
5:55
montales I think they call it the gate
5:57
link I lose track of what each airport
5:58
calls things
6:12
off weird to go through this
6:12
door had about an hour till I board so
6:16
I'll go check out my gate and then I'll
6:18
head over to the Delta Sky Club and I'll
6:20
get myself piping hot caffeinated
6:22
beverage and wait until I got here CU I
6:24
knew I could utilize well actually no
6:26
it's like the Sky Club might be closed
6:28
off maybe there's a line
6:30
for that how many is there any Reds up
6:31
here oh there's a couple I see one up
6:33
there and I see one here that says
6:37
delayed there's a red one there that
6:38
says
6:39
delayed yeah y it's not mine but I got
6:43
to say that's a Prett there's another
6:44
one up top too but out of all these
6:45
that's pretty that's pretty good it's a
6:47
pretty good day for flights all right
6:48
here's gate 71 mine is gate
6:53
73 that's 73 that could be my playe but
6:56
that definitely is my gate just going to
6:58
walk over to confirm if that's
7:00
and then head up and got a coffee in the
7:02
little Lounge area
7:04
there and then I'm going
7:06
to get on the plane I got boarding in
7:08
about an hour plenty of time all right
7:10
now that is a different plane but that
7:11
is the gate gate 73 all right I'll come
7:15
back all right I was incorrect it is
7:17
open they do not have the little stanion
7:19
thing pulled across when it gets busy so
7:23
I'll pop
7:33
right up on the second level now I got
7:33
this piece of artwork you got a little
7:35
piece of cup artwork right here so this
7:37
is one of the cards that I had in my
7:38
wallet that is now gone so I have to get
7:40
another one however I don't think you
7:42
even though you need this card to get in
7:44
all they do is scan because I have the
7:46
app they just scan my boarding pass and
7:50
can go in so let see if that works
7:52
Lounge is pretty empty got the cups here
7:55
got some Decap over here I'm staying
7:57
away from that I'm going with the
7:58
caffeinated piping hot medium roast to
8:01
pik's place also got ice water brewed
8:04
tea put a little little cream and a
8:08
little sugar in there filling it up ah
8:11
good way to start the day I'm going to
8:12
hold off on any snacks or any food they
8:15
probably will have a meal you know what
8:16
I don't know I think it's like a three
8:18
three and 1 half hour flight maybe they
8:20
they might not have a meal on the plane
8:21
either way I don't think I'm going to
8:22
get any of this just so my stomach isn't
8:25
unsettled on the
8:27
plane but yeah there there are options
8:29
as well you got some citrus stuff here
8:31
you even got this little Tower of
8:33
pretzels look at this it's like a
8:35
complete huge Tower of pretzels you just
8:38
take this little cup push that button
8:40
and the pretzels just spit right out of
8:49
there got tons of food up here hummus
8:49
cheese shuder stuff refilling it back
8:52
out into the gate areas again all the
8:54
look always look look at all the
8:55
different gummy things you got the gummy
8:57
Lunchables right here you could really
8:59
start the day off right with a gummy
9:01
breakfast you can have some gummy bacon
9:03
I mean bacon is pretty tasty but I don't
9:05
know how gummy
9:08
bacon bacon would B gummy sushi right
9:11

9:14
gummy mac and cheese I also not going to
9:18
buy anything look at this little uh
9:20
little shark down here that you can uh

9:29
that is definitely my plane since it's
9:31
boarding very soon gate
9:34
73 right over there look at the skies
9:36
looking kind of cumula nimbus looking

19:43
on the little walkway off even being in
19:47
here out of the elements I can tell it's
19:48
cooler than it is in Florida I like it I
19:52
like
19:57
it pretty turbulent flight but not too
19:57
bad
19:59
successfully made it
20:06
up walk on the
20:06
left stand on the right
20:31
it's interesting they have this little
20:33
setup in here called highways in the sky
20:36
flight plans for
20:38
Birds which kind of in this little Al
20:41
Cove over here as I was walk
20:44
into back outside Mississippi
20:47
Flyway does it light up no it doesn't
20:50
National W okay this isn't working I
20:53
think it's supposed to light up The Path
20:55
there but I pushed the button
20:59
and nothing's happening and then over
21:01
here you got a turtle right there you
21:05

21:06
shoes you got a
21:09
handbag an Arctic seal Great Lakes Big

River Region us fish and wildlife
21:15
service
21:24
map Lighthouse welcome
21:24
to minota
21:35
I've
21:35
arrived in
21:37
Minneapolis Minnesota ground
21:39
transportation going to grab a Uber or
21:42
ride another ride share over to my hotel
21:46
which is really really really close and
21:49
over to
21:50
Mall of
21:52
America go the hotel first off all right
21:56
went ahead and ordered a ride share
21:58
should be here in a few moments about 2
22:01
mi away and the hotel I think is 3 or 4
22:04
miles away from here over two think the
22:06
hotels might be walking distance to all
22:08
of America but if not it's pretty close
22:11
so go check in the hotel put my stuff
22:13
away and then Mall of America it
22:16
up well it feels great I mean I'm not
22:20
outside I am I am not enclosed so it is
22:24
open air see the open air over there but
22:28
man it feels
22:29
good nice and cool
22:34
57° oh I love that I love that so much
22:39
actually a pretty good
22:40
setup the Ubers and LIF pull in right
22:43
here and they Park in these parking
22:45
spots so they're not stopping the flow
22:47
of traffic so they have their own
22:48
parking area so they park
22:52
there and there are tags on the front of
22:54
the cars Florida you don't have to have
22:55
a tag on the front of your car but this
22:57
works out cuz you can see who your
22:59
driver is when they pull up here and
23:00
they Park in these spots and they get
23:02
you time to load in you have somebody
23:04
honking at you this is a good setup for
23:06
an airport for this kind of kind of
23:07
thing so still out for a little bit
23:10
probably another couple hours walking
23:13
over to the
23:14
mall not far Hotel back there
23:19
mall right there look past this big Ikea
23:31
it was an intentional
23:33
layover I could have had a couple hours
23:35
and they got on a
23:36
plane to go elsewhere
23:39
but I didn't want to have t being on a
23:42
plane for that many hours today so I
23:45
broke it up over two days purposefully
23:49
the
23:49
ball
23:51
of America
24:00
looks like they're having a Day of the
24:00
Dead set up over here a little
24:03
celebration look at this bicycle with
24:06
the little thing on top of it that's
24:08
pretty neat last time I was here I rode
24:10
that Ferris wheel fun fact they will not
24:12
let you ride that Ferris Wheel by
24:14
yourself and the way around that is they
24:16
will have one of the workers ride the
24:19
ferris wheel with you I'm not going to
24:20
ride it today but last time I was here
24:22
was it 6 months ago whatever that was 5
24:24
6 months ago I'll lose track of time but
24:27
yeah they'll basically if no one will
24:30
ride it with you which you don't want to
24:32
ride with like a total stranger they
24:33
will end up having a worker ride it with
24:36
you as well this also used to be part
24:40
of uh the log ride here was the same
24:43
people that made the log ride at not's
24:45
Berry Farm this place is freaking
24:48
hopping right now holy
24:50
C so many people in here nobody here in
24:55
this very mall they filmed jingle all
24:57
the way also that's right come on do it
25:01
put the cookie down there's a Duncan
25:04
over there which has good coffee but I
25:05
also forgot but they do have an Orange
25:07
Julius it's the DQ I'm going to get an
25:09
Orange Julius instead it's not every day
25:11
you see an Orange Julius stand they're
25:13
in the DQ's now but yeah I like orange
25:15
julius so I'm going to get one all right
25:17
got myself a little uh little action
25:19
here a little orange julius here at the
25:21
Nickelodeon Universe inside all America
25:24
this place is certainly wild coaster
25:27
going around coasters rides attractions
25:30
a little bit of everything inside this
25:32
mall I guess that's a key to having a a
25:35
busy mall have a lot of stores and have
25:37
a lot of things people want and a theme
25:39
park wedged in the middle I had no idea
25:41
that Long John Silvers was even still a
25:43
company thought Long John silers went
25:46
out of business but nope there's one
25:47
here maybe it's Captain D's I think I
25:49
always get those confused a serious
25:51
competition in the love Department we
25:54
got love from
25:56
Minnesota love from Minnesota and it's
25:59
competitor SL neighbor I love Minnesota
26:04
oh SpongeBob's down there now dang
26:07
SpongeBob's down there
26:09
now look see him down there see
26:13
SpongeBob he's down there meeting with
26:15
people you kind of see him around that
26:18
pole he's like well he's kind of hiding
26:19
behind the pole I'm going to get some
26:21
Ramen looking for a fo place but Ramen
26:25
go ahead
26:26
sorry all right this is what we're
26:29
dealing with while I was
26:30
waiting security actually came up to me
26:34
in the mall while I was filming the
26:35
ramen sign said can we talk to you for a
26:38
minute turned into like 3 or 4 minutes
26:41
ran my ID thankfully I got the driver's
26:43
license yesterday they asked what I was
26:45
doing asked all this personal
26:46
information about me where I was going
26:48
where was I coming from obviously I just
26:50
told him I did video travel videos and
26:52
like that ran my whole license it was
26:54
like a whole it was like a whole thing
26:57
it's very bizarre
26:59
anyway I'm just going to eat this and
27:00
leave cuz it was really weird anyway I
27:05
guess they don't want people filming in
27:07
the mall even know there's a million
27:09
people here probably with their cell
27:11
phones filming
27:13
anyway I'm going to consume this and get
27:16
out of here $8 on an Orange Julius and
27:18
$19 on
27:20
Ramen and you want to take photos or
27:24
film any of stuff they have set up in
27:26
here prepare there a good
27:29
possibility that you will be
27:31
interrogated and asked in great detail
27:34
who you are what you're doing to show
27:37
your ID and even after you explain it
27:40
it's still
27:42
awkward and I do understand precautions
27:45
but I just kind of wish kind of wish it
27:47
would have just been said you know we
27:49
don't want anyone filming here they're
27:50
like oh no filming's
27:52
fine but we just want to know the reason
27:54
and I looked up the channel saw the
27:56
channel saw the latest video I
27:59
had and then was like just to clarify
28:03
we're going to need to you need your ID
28:05
ran the ID ran my driver's
28:07
license a simple no filming would have
28:10
been would have a simple no would have
28:12
been fine it's also amazing how excited
28:15
I was to be in there walk around in
28:18
there to go in there like oh it's a cool
28:20
spot Hotel really close to here go walk
28:22
around in the Mall of America and then
28:25
it's weird how just something you could
28:26
just like turn like that and your whole
28:30
whole vibe of the thing just ends right
28:32
then I just wanted to finish that Ramen
28:34
and get the heck out of there
