3:55
under the seat center console and the
3:58
glove box has anyone ever put gloves in
4:01
a glove box anymore
4:03
maybe in the northern regions you ever
4:07
put gloves on a glove box I do not
4:08
everybody know my own gloves you don't
4:12
own rubber gloves you don't have a lease
4:13
with an option to buy
4:16
look at this does these even exist
4:17
anymore
4:22

4:22
not bring my I don't have a garage oh
4:25
here's Blackberry oh look at that right
4:28
there yeah
4:35
also I guess people still use briefcases
4:35
they put their briefs in there
4:37
oh what yeah yeah the hands and their
4:39
hands yeah all the boxer briefs that's
4:42
what that's for yeah
4:44
yeah all right
4:52
never noticed this little Fountain over
4:52
here with the lights the blue water
4:56
the illuminated colors there
4:59
never noticed that before
5:06
now I have noticed this one over here
5:06
and I have noticed that one over there
5:08
with the other one I've never seen
5:10
before
5:19
don't you think it's rude that they want
5:19
to know your weight
5:25
I don't like that it's asking is asking
5:25
our weights keep saying wait personal
5:28
wait I know very rude there's a lot of
5:32
people in here so this is a holiday
5:33
weekend and normally I do not see MCO
5:36
this busy but tomorrow is a holiday so
5:41
this would be designated a holiday
5:42
weekend and it is busy and if one clock
5:45
is not good enough a second clock will
5:47
tell me it is 20 minutes until eight my
5:49
flight I think departs at 10 10 Jace
5:51
flies out about 9 45. coordinated them
5:54
or we could be at the airport at the
5:56
same time yeah nothing 15-20 minutes of
5:58
each other department this is quite the
6:00
expansive arrival board over here and
6:03
departure board over here
6:06
see if I can see mine up there see yours
6:09
up there I do where's it at point it out
6:12
the partners by the middle right here
6:14
all right yours is the second one no
6:16
third one down yeah third one down
6:18
second one that says I'll lay down yep
6:21
you're gate 76 and you're on time
6:26
see if I can find mine to see Vegas up
6:31
Vegas
6:33
can I see mine I don't see it
6:36
Southwest no it's not Southwest I
6:39
thought it was America all right I was
6:41
confused at first but I have a layover
6:43
in Dallas Fort Worth so I am flight 2555
6:49
fourth one down up there
6:56
Dallas Fort Worth I have a layover there
6:56
two five five I am at gate 53 we're both
6:59
in the B section
7:01
so I got to go to 53 you got to go to 70
7:04
76. both on time all right Jay and I
7:07
have parted ways he has to go to a
7:09
different area because he's going to
7:10
these 70 Gates I'm going through the one
7:13
through 59 gates with this aquarium it
7:16
says estimated wait time 8 to 12 minutes
7:19
not bad better than I thought it was
7:22
going to Vegas or when I first we first
7:23
walked in there's a ton of people all
7:26
right that wasn't too incredibly
7:27
horrible so it seems like every airport
7:29
you go to has different I put my shoes
7:31
on the can I put my shoes on the the
7:37
what's the work the rollers without
7:40
being in a bin I had to put my bag
7:42
without being in a bin sometimes I have
7:44
to go into bed I had to take my belt off
7:46
I feel kind of commonplace but they were
7:48
a little I don't say they were on the
7:50
edge but definitely a little more
7:51
stressful
7:53
stressful the workers work today because
7:55
there's a lot of people here so it kind
7:57
of makes sense yeah it's a busy weekend
7:59
one thing that's definitely on my to-do
8:01
list is to get pre-check which I think
8:03
will help considerably I don't think you
8:05
have to take your shoes and belt off
8:07
when you do pre-check I could be wrong
8:08
on that but I've just been putting it
8:10
off for a while but
8:11
do that at some point I'm gonna get on
8:13
the monorail
8:14
head over to gate 53 I believe it is
8:19
this is gate 30 through 59 so
8:22
momentarily this will be open take the
8:24
monorail over
8:26
on the way over to my games
8:46
control tower right over there got a
8:46
little tie plenty of time better early
8:49
than being like on a busy busy time you
8:52
never you never know what's going to
8:53
happen on an airport
8:55
what everyone else is traveling so
8:58
yeah
9:00
I'm not usually much of a breakfast
9:03
eater but look at this gummy breakfast
9:05
every once in a while I have breakfast
9:06
and I'm using more of a dinner late
9:08
afternoon early evening dinner kind of
9:10
guy but they have gummy Burgers over
9:12
here but if I was you know they got
9:14
gummy bacon I could get some gummy bacon
9:16
but I'm gonna get a coffee usually my
9:18
breakfast is a coffee but how appetizing
9:21
does that look for 19.99 you get a bacon
9:23
egg and Waffle only 120 calories for
9:26
that I thought it'd be more than that
9:31
I got plenty of time until it's time for
9:33
me to depart looking here at the The
9:36
Atrium looking for gate number 53 and I
9:40
have a layover in Dallas Fort Worth
9:41
thought it was Houston but it's Dallas
9:43
Fort Worth big bold letters here not to
9:45
be confused 50 through 59.
9:51
it's always kind of like rolling the
9:51
dice no pun intended because I'm going
9:53
to end up in Vegas it's kind of like
9:54
rolling the dice when you get to an
9:56
airport too early because you're going
9:57
to be waiting around for a while or
9:59
getting here I guess the rolling of the
10:01
dice would be getting here just before
10:03
it's time to board if you're just a few
10:05
minutes too late you might not get on
10:07
the plane it happened to me at LAX one
10:08
time I got there right it was like the
10:11
traffic was so bad getting into LAX and
10:13
then getting through the checkpoints
10:14
took longer than I expected and I didn't
10:17
get on the plane I had to go home come
10:20
back the next day and hope for a standby
10:22
to get on it wasn't enjoyable so
10:25
definitely want to make sure you're at
10:27
the airport when you need to be and
10:29
sometimes getting here a little early
10:32
better safe than sorry
10:33
I don't get too excited about layovers I
10:36
like direct flights a little better
10:37
however
10:38
could not find at least from here to
10:42
Vegas I couldn't find on today I
10:44
couldn't find a direct flight I think I
10:46
don't think there are direct flights
10:47
from how CO2 Las Vegas Airport I think
10:52
it's just I think you have to go to one
10:53
and then kind of go in because it's a
10:55
Vegas is like a smaller airport I'm also
10:57
going to be renting a car from there and
11:00
we'll be in be in Vegas for a short
11:01
short amount of days a few days give or
11:04
take it I'll have a car around town got
11:06
a few different things I want to be
11:07
doing there's another plane pulling in
11:08
over here
11:10
that's interesting so sometimes you will
11:13
see the pushback from these vehicles
11:15
kind of similar to the one here but look
11:18
at them this is a push forward with one
11:20
of those Vehicles so the in this engine
11:22
is not on the plane's own accord it's
11:24
like being tugged
11:26
yeah check that out
11:29
it was just tugged in yeah you can see
11:32
it's only 8 14 right now on time
11:36
going to Dallas Fort Worth show the
11:39
temperature be 53.
11:45
Gotta Love layovers yeah see that one's
11:45
doing a pushback as well
11:48
and ready to unhook the little tug thing
11:50
yep they're actually unhooking that
11:52
little tub thing or the little tug thing
11:54
over there
11:55
and while they're loading the luggage
11:57
into that one
12:04
it just air travels so fast today the
12:04
fact that you can get
12:05
point A to point B so quickly in the air
12:09
amazing and check out some of the
12:11
merchandise from here and then when I
12:12
get to the next airport I'll show some
12:14
of the merchandise from there but yeah
12:15
any last minute souvenirs anyone needs
12:19
right here at the gates gate areas
12:22
yeah it's got water at night Orlando
12:26
written on it mugs
12:29
general interest alligator notice and
12:32
over at this shop I don't think I've
12:33
ever seen this 100 Years of wonder in
12:36
the Parks before
12:39
I guess it is it does have the Disney
12:40
one on there but yeah I don't think I've
12:42
seen that in the Emporium or anything
12:44
it's kind of cool with Mickey giving the
12:46
little
12:47
salute you can also get a hoodie over
12:50
here or you can take home a living piece
12:52
of Florida a miniature indoor palm maybe
12:55
I could take that to Vegas
12:56
and try to implant it in Vegas I'm not
12:58
going to everybody I'm just thinking
12:59
hypothetic is also assortment of
13:01
miniature planes right here
13:04
get all the different airlines that one
13:06
really flies so it really flies and
13:08
behind this one is the airline I am
13:12
flying today I'm not sure why it's
13:14
covered up I guess there's like a few
13:15
different ones
13:17
right there over here is kind of just
13:18
kind of hit it
13:20
oh here it is
13:29
airport sets
13:29
this is pretty interesting look at the
13:31
look at the silver around this place is
13:33
called Mystic silver but look at this
13:36
little boom box right here very blinged
13:38
out if you will
13:46
nice
13:46
getting to see my plane pull it into the
13:48
gate here
13:50
that will be
13:52
but I will be boarding in probably about
13:54
40 minutes give or take
14:06
depart get to clean it off get
14:06
everything unloaded
14:08
try to let everybody else on including
14:10
myself
14:14
I haven't had a coffee yet I'm waiting
14:14
till I get on board to get a coffee
14:30
well it's not my plan it's the plane I'm
14:30
going to be getting on boarding but
14:32
temporarily be my plan for
14:35
it's probably three hours over to Dallas
14:37
Fort Worth and then from Dallas Fort
14:39
Worth to Vegas probably another hour and
14:40
a half including the layover time I'm
14:42
going to be in the Dallas Fort Worth
14:44
Airport
14:45
all right I am boarding group one I am
14:49
sitting in seat five f
14:53
5f which I believe is a Windows here you
14:56
always try to get a window seat so I can
14:57
kind of film out the window
15:14
a little water here you're right there
15:14
get a coffee a little bit later
15:23
you in a minute okay
15:31
Okay you Okay Ben's I do see a few bags
15:31
that are not like you want to stack them
15:34
like bookshelves basically they're books
15:35
on a bookshelf that way we can maximize
15:37
that space up in the overhead bin so if
15:39
you keep that in mind when placing your
15:40
larger items up there for anything
15:42
smaller please do utilize that space
15:45
underneath the seat in front of you
15:47
completely fold so we need as much space
15:51
as possible check any bags at the last
15:53
minute please let us know as soon as you
15:56
possibly can if you're having difficulty
15:58
finding a spot for you and we'd like you
15:59
to take it time to take a look at that
16:01
safety information card make sure you're
16:03
willing and able to assist us in the
16:04
unlikely event of emergency
17:18
now I think right down there is
17:18
Interstate four just top to the right of
17:20
it the I-4 eyesore
17:24
foreign
17:39
would have been best for that but
17:39
getting some Suburban areas
17:46
into a totally different terrain a lot
17:46
of lakes here a lot of water a lot of a
17:49
lot of standing
17:51
Hans and bodies of water heading to the
17:55
desert though it's going to be a much
17:56
different experience landscape wise when
18:00
I get to Vegas
18:21
HTC has given us a couple shortcuts so
18:21
far
18:22
looks like about one hour and 50 minutes
18:25
of flight time left this morning it was
18:28
in Dallas on time maybe a little bit
18:30
early they also said it should be mostly
18:32
Swift for us so we're going to go ahead
18:33
and turn off the fast and seat belt sign
18:35
feel free to move about the cabin as you
18:38
need to if you do ask while you're in
18:40
your seat just keep your seatbelt fast
18:41
in case we run across any unexpected
18:43
pubs along the way
18:55
that it actually is not so you bring up
18:55
plate of nuts out too
19:10
all right this is what we're dealing
19:10
with this I've never had this meal
19:11
before this is like a vegetarian type of
19:14
thing
19:22
quite a smorgasbord of things I really
19:22
don't even know what they are but looks
19:25
healthy
19:58
the actual silverware like real
19:58
silverware not plastic Cutlery fancy
20:10
nuts I needed a water another water
20:10
so depending on that lineup today the
20:13
weather hasn't changed much since we
20:15
left Orlando the light winds out of the
20:18
South good visibility High overcast
20:20
Skies current temperature is 80 degrees
20:22
Fahrenheit very soon we'll be turning
20:25
around the seat belt signs away can we
20:27
unlock it's supposed to be placed
20:28
completely out of it underneath the seat
20:30
in front of your back we'll be coming to
20:33
the camping Angelo final aisle check all
20:35
right about to land
20:36
worth I could see the star down there
21:36
please ladies and gentlemen American
21:36
Airlines would like to welcome to Dallas
21:37
local time is 11 37 a.m for your safety
21:41
please remain seated until we have
21:42
completed our taxi and I have about an
21:45
hour and 10 minutes of my next flight

Transportation device
21:51

22:28
d25 going up the escalator here one
22:31
thing about airports always a lot of
22:34
escalators d25
22:37
d25 is what I'm looking for all right
22:39
this is kind of nice so I do not have to
22:41
take that uh monorail looking train
22:43
Transportation device I think I could
22:46
just walk over the busy road on this
22:49
moving platform so I can just go this
22:52
way
22:53
you got the one control tower I just saw
22:55
and there's another control tower over
22:57
there and I just keep going and down
22:59
another escalator into the B and D Gates
23:04
1 through 40 D1 through 40. that's what
23:07
I'm looking for d25.
23:09
it's a little bit of a walk it's also
23:11
interesting how they don't have it

labeled as restrooms they just say
23:14
Twitter this is a pretty expansive
23:16
airport we know it's just a yeah this
23:19
place is huge
23:21

23:23
forever and ever wow look at that place
23:25

23:26
like that a Superman Fortress a Solitude
23:28

23:31
a ginormous airplane out there that is a
23:34
big airplane in Detroit d25 has this big
23:37

25:59
right through the clouds
25:59
like Superman
26:11
he's flying they're also building on the
26:11
flag they bring you out
26:13
very steamy hot tally
26:18
off your hands and face with them and
26:20
this thing is like boy pop water
26:27
wipe that off and then they bring you
26:27
the meal I ordered pasta on the second
26:30
flight I'm gonna have a pasta meal I've
26:32
never had before on this one and it's a
26:34
pretty cool deal out there with all the
26:35
clouds
26:44
their glass of water so this water comes
26:44
in a glass but the other one is like a
26:46
plastic cup but before they bring out
26:48
the pasta meal also brought out these
26:51
mixed nuts roasted and salted
27:23
the terrain has definitely shifted
27:23
all right I guess the advantage of doing
27:25
a layover is you get two meals instead
27:27
of just one so once again got the napkin
27:30
over here gotta refill on the water got
27:34
the silverware Cutlery and with like
27:38
cheese tortellini item here
27:42
more broccoli
27:44
well broccoli I'm not sure what I had
27:46
some kind of grains on the other one it
27:48
looks like a pretty good brownie as well
27:52
yeah different different options on each
27:54
flight which is kind of nice
28:09
and again I'm starting to see the desert
28:09
terrain out the window
28:30
and after eating that brownie going with
28:30
another coffee
28:32
coffees aren't really not that large so
28:35
it's kind of like a overly small coffee
28:38
no cream and no cream in sugar in this
28:41
one because the brownie kind of acts as
28:43
the cream and sugar so let's go ahead
28:46
straight block
28:55
be learning from five minutes early
28:55
should have in the game just a couple
28:57
minutes early as well whether there's uh
28:59
of course guys temperature is about 85
29:02
Degrees it'll be landing at about 20 to
29:05
25 minutes
29:11
quite a bit of turbulence right now but
29:11
it looks as if I'm making a sharp turn
29:14
soon as I see Vegas way over there I
29:17
think I see Las Vegas
30:34
again I picked the wrong side for
30:34
arriving to actually see the biggest
30:35
strip for my window
30:40
the same thing when I flew in and out of
30:40
New York oh well you never know which
30:43
way a plane is going to land sometimes
31:27
on behalf of American Airlines Center
31:27
One World Park nurse we do
31:30

31:31

31:33
on American yeah you know you're in
31:35
Vegas when there are slot machines in
31:37
the actual airport yeah just right here
31:39
in the waiting area take a look at this
31:41
and there is one of the many many
31:43
welcome to Las Vegas signs you will see
31:47
throughout Viva loss Vegas show and
31:52
merch show and merch showing
31:55

31:58

32:02

32:03
just got to find out where the rental
32:05
car facility is I can't remember a lot
32:08
of different restaurants a lot of
32:09
different shops
32:10
up here
32:12
more slot machines over there ground
32:14
transportation
32:17
going down
32:19
Viva loss there you go
32:27
what in the heck is that over there on
32:27
the ground
32:29
that is like some sort of uh creature of
32:32
the desert desert creature is a lizard
32:34
oh yeah it's a lizard over here check
32:35
this out it's a it's a desert creature
32:40
very nice
32:42
oh is that a turtle it's a desert turtle
32:45
I don't know if it's a turtle or a
32:46
lizard
32:48
there's another Transportation vehicle
32:50
arriving here
32:52
like Karen International Airport
32:56
this station is rental car they've got
32:58
to find the rental cars
33:13
all right here is yet another little
33:13
sculpture here this is a desert bunny
33:15
rabbit or just a bunny rabbit here on
33:17
the ground and you want to make sure you
33:19
have everything when you exit out of
33:20
here because there's no going back in
33:22
without going through the checkpoints
33:23
when you're going through these three
33:25
doors and now you're out really in Las
33:28
Vegas and I was kind of thinking that
33:30
maybe the
33:33
drama cars were on site but evidently I
33:35
got to take a bus over to the rental car
33:37
area
33:38
there's quite a few people waiting for
33:40
the bus
33:42
it's also really warm here this actually
33:44
feels a lot hotter than it did
33:46
when I left Florida
34:17
we're on my way to the rental place yeah
34:17
just the whole process
34:19
traveling all right there is quite an
34:23
assortment of vehicles here to choose
34:25
from
34:26
told I could choose anything
34:28
over in this section I even said I could
34:30
get one of these trucks and I opted out
34:33
of getting a truck
34:34
so he just said grab anything over in
34:36
this section so that's what I'm going to
34:38
do
34:39
I don't think I'm gonna get for the
34:40
sports cars though I'm just going to get
34:41
a mid-size all right I am off
34:50
it's always one place I gotta stop by
34:50
right when I get to Las Vegas
34:53
it's kind of a I'll say tradition but
34:55
it's just the first thing I always do
34:56
I'm gonna head over there now before
34:57
checking into my hotel
34:59
got a plane backing in over there
35:02
obviously it's a lot smaller than the
35:04
plane I was on
35:06
that is the airport so I landed over
35:07
there now
35:09
I have drove to where I'm at now
35:11
protected by this gate where a lot of
35:14
people line up
35:15
it's like a hundred people over here
35:17
waiting in line to get a photo in front
35:19
of the fabulous Las Vegas Nevada
35:22
and there's also this small one here
35:26
placed in 1959 how do you realize this
35:29
but till now it's on the national
35:31
register of historic places
35:39
good for here fabulous Las Vegas sign
35:39
debut Las Vegas strip in 1959 Remains
35:42
the most popular attraction in Clark
35:43
County
35:45
take a look at that
35:52
I've kind of learned that if you just go
35:52
around to the side here
35:54
you can just get a view of from here
35:55
without waiting in a massive line I mean
35:56
granted it would be awesome to stand
35:58
directly underneath it but you can kind
35:59
of just get the angle from here if you
36:01
just just walk around the side
36:06
let's keep playing going over the top of
36:06
it
36:08
it's just iconic
36:13
yeah it's definitely warm here
36:15
