impulsive trip I was going to originally
0:33
go to Vegas decided against it extended
0:35
my Alaska trip I was going to go
0:37
Thanksgiving week to
0:40
Vegas bailed on those plans but now I
0:42
figured you know what heck it I'll go
0:44
right now so that's what I'm doing
0:47
welcome everyone Adam the woo here I
0:49
might look unusual without my cap on my
0:53
code
0:54
on took my boots off this is the most
0:58
amount of time I'm going to be spending
0:59
in the C because I'm going to be on an
1:01
airplane for majority of the day two
1:04
flights Washington State
1:07
Seattle and then down to Vegas invited
1:09
you to join
1:11
me shall
1:14
we last few looks of snow for a while I
1:18
have definitely got my fill of snow it
1:20
has been a really enjoyable trip here to
1:23
Alaska the only part I really didn't
1:25
enjoy was going up to Barrow
1:30
that was definitely an experience but
1:32
all the rest of it was a pleasant
1:41
one I got everything shoved back in here
1:41
my boots back in there folded them up
1:44
kind of like compressed them down into
1:45
there that's where my shoes were now I
1:47
got the tennis shoes back on everything
1:49
everything's packed away nice and cozy I
1:52
did bring a lot of warm clothes so when
1:53
I get to Vegas might have to purchase a
1:55
couple T-shirts and maybe just a regular
1:56
hoodie we get going all right take a
1:59
look at this this deer oh
2:02
deer you got this bear I did not see any
2:05
bears in the wild the only Bears I saw
2:07
were at the zoo the Anchorage zoo Alaska
2:09
Zoo that I went to about a week ago when
2:12
I was here and these stuffed
2:14
ones I would not want to meet one of
2:17
these in the wild I would want to see it
2:19
from a
2:20
distance but if I was this close without
2:22
any glass protection it would not end
2:25
well for me all right first leg of this
2:27
trip is to Seattle as I stated now I
2:30
flew Alaska Air the last couple
2:37
trips but I'm going to go back to my
2:37
Delta Airlines who I utilize more than
2:40
all the other ones Delta Airlines
2:44
922 2 Seattle is
2:48
scheduled oh doesn't say on time it says
2:52
scheduled
2:54
210 and B8 I don't like the schedule
2:58
doesn't say it doesn't say there's been
3:00
any changes it doesn't say a
3:01
cancellation but does also doesn't say
3:03
on
3:04
time nonetheless I'm looking for
3:07
B8 it's very mellow in here not a lot of
3:10
people here are the checkpoints a lot of
3:12
times I'll use words which sometimes
3:14
aren't correct words but in this case it
3:16
is cuz it actually says checkpoint right
3:19
there see
3:23
checkpoint not a lot of people in line
3:24
for the checkpoint actually one person
3:27
in line besides me a whole whole one
3:30
person just me and
3:34
pppe Lew just noticing there's a barber
3:36
shop right here take a look at this
3:38
right outside the line Bush Pilot's
3:40
barber shop it's got the barber shop
3:42
pole there even a smaller one on the
3:44
corner and if you need to get cash out
3:48
there's an ATM right by the door that's
3:50
interesting
3:51
right yeah right here at the right here
3:53
at the check-in line that took a
3:54
whopping one minute to go through the
3:57
checkpoint not bad at all to remove the
4:00
shoes remove the laptop remove the belt
4:03
you know part for the course pretty
4:06
standard the first flight is going to be
4:07
just a few minutes over 3 and 1/2 hours
4:10
the second flight's going to be just a
4:12
little over 2 and 1/2 hours so it's
4:14
going to give me a lot of time I'm
4:17
thinking about maybe watching some Vegas
4:19
films I got a few in mind that are Vegas
4:22
movies that are either filmed in Vegas
4:24
or based on Vegas but I want to shake
4:27
Ted's Steven's hand here here and say
4:30
thank you for the pleasant trip to
4:32
Alaska look at this guy he's look like
4:33
he's doing some little harpooning over
4:35
here from the top of this like it was
4:37
like a tree look like a tree or
4:39
something right there I think that's
4:40
what he's doing he's got this big like
4:42
stick with a little uh Jagged thing on
4:45
the end of it it's been fun moose it's
4:47
been really
4:48
fun man I've love the snow I love the
4:51
ice didn't like sliding around on the
4:53
ice I don't like driving on the
4:55
ice but I do love this weather piping
4:59
hot caffeinated beverage
5:01
achieved right here and Starbucks has
5:04
the little Christmas I wonder if we can
5:06
be Christmasy stuff up decorated Up in
5:09
Vegas yet that'd be kind of neat I'm
5:10
kind of going to Vegas with no game plan
5:12
I do a lot of things with no game plan I
5:14
went
5:15
with a peppermint mocha latte no whip
5:21
figured you know what heck
5:24
it got plenty of time so I'm just kind
5:27
of look at this this is look how empty
5:29
this Corridor is here leading down to
5:32
the gates there's a guy on a
5:35
Zamboni cleaning the floors on the
5:37
Zamboni right
5:39
there get all the Moose droppings up on
5:42
the
5:43
Zamboni I'm not using that word
5:45
correctly I know but fascinated by these
5:49
floor cleaning
6:05
folks it's going
6:05
around and
6:14
around I always like to show different
6:14
airports that sell gum the Anchorage
6:16
Alaska one sells gum I didn't even know
6:19
that mad was even still a magazine check
6:21
it out they have the holiday stocking

6:25
just keeps on uh keeps on going all
6:27
these years
6:33
I don't know if I'm going to get any
6:33
salmon souvenirs but they have quite a
6:35
few
6:36
here also I'm excited about this Vegas
6:38
strip because I'm trip because I'm
6:40
staying on the Strip on the Vegas Strip
6:43
which I rarely if ever do but I've never
6:45
stayed right in the heart of the strip
6:47
toore has some very creative t-shirt
6:49
check out the Pink Floyd spoof here the
6:51
dark side of the Loon Spirit of the
6:55
Wilderness bear catching a fish
6:59
there was one time I stayed at Circus
7:01
Circus which is kind of on the Strip but
7:03
it's a little farther up I'm going to be
7:04
staying kind of right in the heart of it
7:06
this time usually I stay over on the
7:08
Fremont District near the plaza near
7:11
Fremont and all that which is like old
7:13
Vegas but I'm going to stay right the
7:15
belly of the
7:17
Beast this time if you like this this is
7:20
what this state is now telling me after
7:22
I visited they were glad to have me now
7:25
they want me to take a hike
7:30
at this time frame there is no news over
7:32
at the Hudson News Stand in fact this
7:35
whole little section here over near the
7:37
gate where I'm going to be waiting for a
7:38
little while it's pretty
7:41
empty when I landed here there were
7:43
people sitting on all these it was like
7:45
a lot more people in this area when I
7:47
arrived here wow a while back at the
7:49
beginning of this
7:51
trip now this uh this whole section is
7:54
pretty
7:55
empty got all the little luggage here
7:59
these are some serious snow boots look
8:00
at
8:07
this it's got either rocks or maybe
8:07
that's gold yeah look nuggets of gold
9:02
except now he's not cleaning the
9:02
floor he's picking up the stuff 12:40
9:05
here in Anchorage it's 26 degrees
9:08
possible flurries snow out there and
9:10
where I'm heading for the short
9:12
connecting flight it's
9:15
46° a little bit warmer in Seattle and
9:19
then Vegas right now is
9:21
61° at the moment and I'm going to be
9:23
landing between 10 and 11:00 p.m. Vegas
9:25
time where it'll be 45 and it looks like
9:28
it's going to be a pretty Pleasant
9:30
few days and a nice weekend this is
9:34
interesting guys down there using that
9:38
little push thing to clear a spot for
9:41
the wheels to
9:43
go on the plane I'm going to take off
9:45
here at B8 is going to arrive almost
9:48
looks like a snow version of a lawn
9:50
mower
10:02
look at all
10:02
these so you got the truck with the snow
10:05
plow on the front you got a little small
10:06
plane that just either landed or took
10:08
off and then you got all these pieces of
10:10
heavy machinery that are made for
10:13
removing
10:22
snow they're all doing a little U-turn
10:22
heading back the other
10:26
direction there's a bunch of them
10:36
that's weird they're like Al like
10:36
they're all just going in a
10:47
circle okay it's like a we're just going
10:47
in a complete
10:49
circle people getting off this plane or
10:52
getting off on the tarmac kind of like I
10:54
did the last couple flights I did to
10:57
Bara or Bara
11:00
interesting the big pile of snow there
11:04
in the
11:12
foreground and a half hour there's a few
11:12
people over here now we're to do to meet
11:15
it so what I'm going to ask is uh
11:18
several things that will help expedite
11:19
the boarding process the first one being
11:21
that we have a very small boarding area
11:23
so I am going to ask that you please not
11:25
come up and approach this open area
11:28
until we call your specific Zone if
11:30
everybody stands
11:42
Orit sitting in seat
11:42
15f hi there how are you we're here how
11:45
about you
11:47
right
12:28
for for
19:44
yeah not an ounce of snow on the ground
19:44
here in Seattle
20:07
6:36 here in Seattle at the airport my
20:07
next flight board's at 719 it looks like
20:10
there's a few different airlines going
20:13
to
20:22
somewhere 29
20:29
49 on time
20:29
B1 looking for gate B
20:33
11 not far of a commute because the gate
20:35
I just got off of is just right next to
20:38
b11 so not to go too far and there's no
20:41
ice or snow on the ground here in this
20:44
neck of the woods at this time at least
20:46
today but there is like some artistic
20:49
renderings of ice I can't stay away from
20:52
Ice so a couple days ago my original
20:54
plan was to stay in Anchorage one more
20:56
day and then tomorrow was going to fly
20:58
to se Seattle and then I was going to be
20:59
in Seattle 2 days then I was going to
21:02
fly home back to Central Florida I
21:04
decided just to change it up and fly out
21:06
of Anchorage today to Seattle and from
21:08
Seattle to Vegas and I'll be in Vegas
21:11
for a pretty good series of days just
21:13
mixing it up last minute decisiones say
21:15
there's like little fish along the
21:16
ground here look there's like a little
21:19
fish carvings in the ground there's some
21:21
smaller fish and I watched all of Oceans
21:25
11 what a great cast what a great movie
21:27
i' never seen it before I didn't even
21:29
know what it was about but now I mean
21:31
I've always heard the name Oceans 11 and
21:33
after watching it now I know why it's
21:36
called Oceans 11 no spoilers but yeah
21:40
pretty pretty good and all all Vegas all
21:43
Vegas area where the same section I'm
21:46
going to be staying
21:48
in not sure what these fish are couple
21:50
different size of the Seattle Space
21:53
Needle you got one that's about half the
21:56
size of the taller version
21:58
right there for $1 1999 you get yourself
22:01
a Seattle t-shirt I don't think I'm
22:03
going to get one but yeah have a Seattle
22:05
t-shirt here it's kind of kind of nice
22:08
looking all right this is totally
22:09
interesting so I going in here from
22:11
Anchorage top one I have uh gotten off
22:15
of the out of the jetway and all that
22:19
landed at b11 you see b11 that's the
22:21
same I think I might be getting on the
22:23
same plane not to go back to Anchor but
22:26
I think it's the same plane
22:28
that I just got of I think I'm going be
22:30
and I actually picked the same seat
22:32
section I might be sitting in the same
22:34
exact seat on the same plane for the
22:37
connecting flight I don't know if that's
22:38
ever happened but right there Anchorage
22:41
landed at gate b11 the top one and then
22:45
you come over here to Vegas and you got
22:48
b11 departing at
22:51
759 Delta Las
22:55
Vegas B 11
22:58
I don't know if that's ever happened
23:00
same plane going to two different spots
23:02
on the connecting flight and I happen to
23:04
have chosen the same seat on both of
23:07
them yeah anyway I thought that was
23:09
interesting there it is b11 that's the
23:12
one I just got of off
23:15
of probably the only one excited about
23:17
that but it's just such a that's a
23:18
rarity something that usually doesn't
23:20
happen usually I'm running halfway
23:21
across the airport to get a connecting
23:24
flight but it's like super Deja Vu I'm
23:26
be experiencing full Deja Vu momentarily
23:31
think I'm going to get a snack somewhere
23:32
all right went with a little snackage
23:35
from the little gift shop
23:38
Here country smok
23:42
sausages sugar lemonade turkey bacon R
23:46
and some Sun
23:48
Chips devour this before board my this
23:51
does not look good the flight was
23:53
supposed to board like 20 minutes ago no
23:56
boarding so I don't know what's going on
23:57
because the plane isn't here I mean it's
23:58
sitting right there where it landed it's
24:01
41° here looks like it's going to be
24:04
raining a lot of a lot of rain the next
24:06
few days here in Seattle Vegas where I'm
24:09
headed right now it's
24:11
49° next few days still looking
24:14
beautiful 7:37 I think this thing was
24:16
supposed to start loading about 7:15
24:20
so uh hopefully we load soon
24:39
same
24:39
play Ready raiding raing
25:24
neighb they told me that they did they
25:24
really told
25:32
me that's what they do yeah they love it
25:32
do you know where they're from they was
25:35
from
27:48
yeah I think if I would have sat on the
27:48
other side of the plane I would have got
27:49
a really good view of the strip
27:57
but get in this other
27:57
side look
28:34
oh rough
28:34
Landing o coming and hot
29:07
closes wait for it there it
29:07
goes little door closes up
29:31
there's the rider Stadium right there
29:31
reg Stadium
30:23
bedos
30:23
make really strong
30:25
coffee and just like that I am in Vegas
30:29
serving alcohol in here got some slot
30:32
machines and
30:33
gambling machines right here in the
30:36
airport take a look at that Clark County
30:38
Harry Reid International Airport pretty
30:41
sure I've flown into this airport before
30:43
maybe I haven't all the times I've been
30:45
to Vegas I would say a majority of them
30:47
I would drive from LA to here cuz I
30:49
don't really remember much of the inside
30:52
of the Vegas Airport evidently this goes
30:55
over to ground transportation
31:29
will there a rabbit for my safety they
31:29
letting me know do not
31:31
climb on the
31:34
rabbit selfies are encouraged
31:37
though just no climbing
31:40
selfies if you're going to take a selfie
31:42
don't do it while you're
31:45
climbing I'm good on the selfie make
31:47
sure you got everything before going
31:49
through here because there's no re-entry
31:51
it's like one of these like kind of like
31:53
a weird Fair funh house Mirror Maze
31:56
walking through here except there
31:57
weren't mirrors just you know that very
31:59
famous saying oh so well what happens
32:01
here only happens here that's wait
32:03
that's is that that's that's not the
32:05
saying uh yes it definitely does not
32:07
feel warm out here I mean it is a nice
32:09
little chill in the air but nothing like
32:12
what I have experienced there are a line
32:14
of taxis right there a line of taxis
32:18
look at all this wow I guess that's to
32:20
start with the first one there's also an
32:22
Uber pickup area so the way taxis work
32:24
you walk up here the first person is
32:26
what takes you where you got to go but
32:28
look at the line of taxis waiting to
32:31
take everyone into s
32:42
City there's a lot of
32:42
people waiting
32:44
for ride share goodness
32:58
okay The Beehive of activity in here
32:58
gosh maybe I should have just grabbed a
33:01
taxi a lot of people waiting for UBS
33:04
coralled over
33:06
there and also flooding over this way
33:10
into all these different Lanes of cars
33:12

33:14
Hoovers I have now been dropped off
33:18
finally caught a ride share car over
33:20

33:22
first time ever staying at the
33:26
Flamingo of the old oldest
33:28
hotels in Vegas well at least on the
33:32
shrip from what I was told anyway what
33:34
what I've heard not a th% confident on
33:37
that so take my word with a grain of
33:40
salt but it's definitely old school veg
33:42
strip Vegas
33:44
strip all right all checked into the
33:47
room I like the little Hue the light
