this Monday September 19 2022 this is my
0:09
rental car taking it back dropping it
0:11
off at the rental car company at John
0:14
Wayne Airport Santa Ana
0:16
hopping on a flight
0:18
direct route no layovers
0:21
Salt Lake City this is the hotel I
0:23
stayed at in La Palma I believe it is
0:26
right on the threshold of Buena Park
0:29
Orange County not far from Anaheim and
0:32
Disneyland a little bit of a stretch up
0:34
to La was here for two weeks exactly 14
0:37
days
0:38
stayed in this
0:40
hotel right here and now
0:43
going to Salt Lake SLC I'm on my way
0:47
I do not remember what airline I'm
0:49
flying more on that later
0:51
I got a little I got like an hour and a
0:53
half to the plane boards there you go
0:54
I'm inviting you to join me
0:56
on this Trek
0:58
shall you
1:00
see the reflection of my camera in the
1:02
glasses
1:04
I'm getting moving there is a little bit
1:06
of dew on the windshield
1:08
Well for now there is now
1:10
it has been removed I'm flying out of
1:12
Delta boards at 9 30 flight departs at
1:15
10 10.
1:18
and it's now 7 56. if I was flying out
1:20
of LAX I'd be a little worried
1:23
but Santa Ana it's pretty easy to get in
1:26
and out of there at this time of day
1:28
it's showing 37 minutes 16 miles
1:32
punching that in
1:34
and that is what the road is looking
1:36
like bird's eye so right down the five
1:39
over to Irvine
1:45
and out of Orange County
1:45
7 56. oh I'll be fine and must fuel up
1:50
before returning a rental car if you
1:52
don't it's frowned upon and they charge
1:54
you a little bit more
1:56
in 569 per gallon so filling it up for
2:00
dropping it off
2:02
right outside the airport
2:04
here at this mobile
2:15
made it into the catacombs of SNA
2:15
returning the rental car down here
2:17
somewhere
2:47
nine o'clock half hour till boarding
2:47
starts and an hour and 10 minutes till
2:50
the plane departs Salt Lake
2:53
I think I got this
3:00
it's like that sign fell off the wall
3:00
you're supposed to be up there but it's
3:01
on the ground there
3:18
it doesn't look like too long of a line
3:18
over there
3:19
and departures right up here
3:23
says oh you know what I'm glad I didn't
3:26
do the 1140 departure because that one's
3:28
delayed but the 1010 is on time flight
3:33
2724
3:35
gate four
3:40
foreign
3:47
ER flight to give me a little more time
3:47
on Southwest but I went with Delta a
3:49
little earlier glad I did because the
3:56
Flight 1176 out of Southwest is delayed
3:57
combine on Delta gate four right on time
4:00
and there's no line to get through the
4:03
checkpoint it looks like a grand total
4:04
of Two Gentlemen in front of me this is
4:08
the pre-check over here which I don't
4:09
have but regular no one in front of me
4:11
all right so at this airport the
4:12
checkpoint you have to take your laptop
4:13
out external keyboard out put it in a
4:16
tray also
4:18
a tray most of my shoes my phone my
4:21
camera also my belt which I have already
4:24
put my belt back on but you gotta take
4:26
the shoes off each Airport's a little
4:27
bit different each checkpoint's a little
4:28
bit different but it's pretty easy I was
4:30
in and out you know in through the
4:31
checkpoint in like 10 minutes so I gotta
4:32
put this back in here and then remind
4:35
myself which gate I gotta go to and then
4:37
boarding happens soon put my shoes back
4:40
on too probably shot untie these and put
4:42
these back on yeah definitely a much
4:44
smaller airport than Los Angeles
4:46
International LAX quite a few different
4:49
airlines that fly out of here as well
4:51
all right I gotta head over to gate four
4:53
there is a Ruby's Diner over here take a
4:56
look up here
4:57
this whole airplane
5:00
the roof and then it says fly TWA to Los
5:03
Angeles Vegas
5:05
Miami
5:07
a little martini glass I'm not going to
5:10
get a meal or anything but I always like
5:11
this little rubies in here
5:18
and a couple little snack stands and if
5:18
you want to get some Orange County
5:19
merchandise they have socks and little
5:21
bags it's my last chance to get anything
5:23
California merchandise wise because I am
5:26
now going to be going to Utah as my next
5:29
destination of course this is LA and one
5:31
thing that's going to be really nice
5:32
about this look at all the Dodger stuff
5:34
but then like one lonely angels
5:37
also speaking of the baseball season
5:40
razor doing really good there I think
5:41
they're still good I think here and get
5:42
the wild card spot I think there's 16
5:44
games left as they're recording us of
5:47
the regular season I am excited about
5:49
October let me tell you I'm pretty dang
5:52
excited for the race to be in the first
5:54
season unless something goes off the
5:55
rails between now and then inside this
5:57
McDonald's you got some Orange County
5:58
South Bowers Museum you got the museum
6:00
at Irvine you got the big a at Angel
6:02
Stadium over there now I can't tell if
6:04
this is my plane that I'm getting on
6:06
that is gate four where boarding will
6:08
begin in just a few minutes but it
6:10
hasn't pulled up to the front
6:13
I'm just going to say that's probably
6:16
my plane
6:17
I have a window seat I can't remember
6:19
what side it's on but I have a window
6:20
seat I always try to get a window seat
6:22
just so I can like film out the side of
6:23
the window and
6:25
lay my headache up against the side of
6:27
the
6:28
you know side of the wall in the window
6:29
get a little rest but usually so I can
6:31
look out I always like take off and
6:33
Landing I think that might be my plane
6:35
right there and walk over there and see
6:36
and it has appealing and tempting as a
6:39
coffee is right here from the California
6:42
for the Coffee Bean and Tea which I
6:44
really like I usually don't get coffee
6:45
but before I get on the plane because I
6:47
want you to get up and down to go to the
6:48
restroom so I usually wait till I'm
6:49
halfway through the flight when they
6:50
bring the service down okay this is
6:52
interesting it has a little taxi push
6:54
back you know a little Tugboat item here
6:56
at the end so I'm not really sure maybe
6:58
if this is not my plane at gate for I
7:00
mean it says gate four but I can't tell
7:01
because it looks like you're ready to
7:02
push back unless everyone's already
7:04
boarded without me I hope not all right
7:06
quick change I have been transferred
7:08
from gate four to gate two not quick
7:11
change the Bill Murray movie that he
7:12
dresses like a clown and like robs the
7:14
bank just a quick change on on my you
7:18
know flight gate okay this looks a lot
7:20
more like what I'm kind of looking for
7:22
they're loading the luggage on they're
7:23
getting everything ready they're
7:24
preparing for flight and I don't have
7:26
the little Tugboat thing to push back
7:27
this is it it's been moved over from
7:30
four to gate two Delta so have a window
7:33
seat
7:39
yeah
7:40
the interesting thing about this Runway
7:42
is when I take off it kind of goes
7:45
straight up and then the engine's cut
7:46
because I think there's like a noise
7:47
ordinance or something oh look at this
7:49
is like this little plane coming in
7:50
about to land so small planes also land
7:52
in here I'm not sure how it works
7:54
exactly but it'll take off and then
7:55
it'll go almost like a very very steep
7:58
takeoff and then they'll cut the engines
8:01
for a minute and then re not restart it
8:03
but the engine will just kind of shut
8:04
down for just a brief moment so it's
8:06
kind of kind of unusual feeling when you
8:09
fly out of Santa Ana and here's a lower
8:11
view down at my place
8:38
wow this might be overlooked so I don't
8:38
need to help ladies and gentlemen we do
8:41
not want to cancel the whole plan in
8:43
at least 15 to 20 passengers 15 people
8:47
cannot they're asking 15 people not to
8:51
get on the plane
8:56
especially if you only go to Salt Lake
8:58
City okay they're offering 600 extra 600
9:02
credit for anyone that does that
9:06
I think I'd just rather get to my
9:08
destination than take the 600 bucks it's
9:10
just my own personal preference I think
9:11
I'm just going to get on this point go
9:12
down there is where I was standing when
9:14
I was showing it from the lower things
9:15
basically they need 15 people to
9:17
volunteer to go to like a three o'clock
9:19
flight which is like you know four hours
9:21
from now but they will compensate a 600
9:24
credit it's a pretty good deal but I
9:26
don't really want to wait around this
9:27
airport for
9:28
three extra hours so
9:31
I'm not gonna take that deal I'm gonna
9:33
well it looks like there's like over
9:35
here to the far right is it looks like
9:36
there's at least you know a dozen or
9:38
more people so I think people are kind
9:39
of jumping on that
9:41
does make sense that's a pretty good
9:42
deal they need 15 people to volunteer I
9:45
think they're going to get it now I am
9:46
sitting in seat 19f and I guess the
9:48
plane wasn't overbooked it's just too
9:50
heavy so they need 15 people to not get
9:53
on it with their luggage but it might be
9:55
some empty seats it wasn't overbooked
9:56
there's just too much weight with
9:58
everyone on here and
10:01
luggage which that's kind of interesting
10:21
we do have a completely full flight so
10:21
we do ask that you store your luggage
10:23
place in your smaller item underneath
10:25
the seat in front of you leaving the
10:27
overhead bands for what larger wall
10:30
aboard space as you're coming down
10:33
and if the best close-up means it's full
10:35
so and then also bags that go on their
10:38
side like a book
10:39
thank you and it's a flying time
10:42
you should still get you there on time
10:44
because uh pretty much uh even though
10:46
we're pushing a few minutes late we do
10:48
have an anomaly today uh we got to start
10:50
an engine in the gate that might slow us
10:52
down a little bit as well so um there
10:54
was bear with us on that and hopefully
10:56
we'll get on our way to Salt Lake City
10:57
uh weather there is nice and uh clear
10:59
skies and it's currently in the low 80s
11:03
thank you okay we are looking for a
11:04
three individual that has flexible plans
11:08
today
11:10
at eight hundred dollars to please get
11:13
off right over there they're now
11:15
offering
11:16
it's great for the holidays you get an
11:19
American Express card or whatever part
11:21
of yourself
11:27
eight hundred dollars we're ready to
11:27
book you on the five o'clock flight oh
11:30
five o'clock that's like six hours
11:33
no I know this is not what happened but
11:35
it looks like these Sky chefs
11:42
be speeding on the runway
11:42
that's what it looks like anyway
12:08
all right
12:08
it was supposed to take off at 10 10.
12:11
it's 10 45 now so 35 minutes
12:35
I am just right on the link
12:51
let's see if I can hear the engine shut
12:51
off
12:52
you got the Ascension and then there
12:54
should be a little pause
13:17
there it is okay there it was right
13:17
there
13:18
slowed down
13:48
also going to do a full U-turn over the
13:48
ocean
13:50
think
14:55
I'll check it out if there's Angel
14:55
Stadium
14:59
again
14:59
it's Disneyland is right down there
15:01
somewhere too
17:48
I've always kind of wanted to be in a
17:48
lightning storm see the lightning hit
17:50
the lightning rod down there
17:52
actually maybe I don't want to begin a
17:54
lightning storm but it'd be fascinating
17:55
to see a lightning bolt
17:58
one of those lighting ones
18:18
contract research that Ontario items
18:18
have been securely stood Planet units
18:21
will be passing through the Halls chick
18:23
collect our remaining cups and glasses
18:25
we will be lady voluntarily
19:13
okay opening up those grids a little
19:13
little
20:17
all right the wing is turning even
20:17
farther downward
21:30
all right the wing is going back to its
21:30
normal positions
21:38
so fascinating
21:38
technology amazes me
21:48
it will be necessary for all passengers
21:48
to remain seated until the captain has
21:50
parked the aircraft securely at the gate
21:52
and turned off the feds and seatbelt
21:55
sign this will then be your only
21:57
indication that it will be safe to be
21:59
throughout the cabin to collect your
22:00
personal belongings or retrieving items
22:03
from the overhead bin to exercise
22:05
caution this items have a tendency to
22:08
shift during flying Central magnificent
22:10
fear let's check around for all items
22:13
that you brought aboard for those
22:15
passengers needing assistance with
22:17
baggage claim or with connecting flights
22:19
a Delta agent will be breeding a slight
22:22
to answer those questions for you it has
22:25
been our pleasure serving you have a
22:26
safe and pleasant stay here in the Salt
22:28
Lake City area Central further
22:30
destinations
22:50
looks like A9 is where we're going to be
22:50
parked a nine
23:03
got a pretty good angle from here
23:03
see everything that's going on down
23:05
there a little behind the scenes parking
23:07
the plane
23:16
and everything I had today was carry-on
23:16
I didn't have to check any luggage my
23:17
bag is right above my head in the
23:19
overhead storage
23:27
one piece of luggage and one backpack
23:27
that's all I got
23:39
it
23:39
I have arrived
23:52
wait for the ding wait for the ding
23:52
and
24:11
there it is there was the ding
24:11
look at that one being taxied out being
24:13
pushed backed up by a little Tugboat
24:15
looking vehicle
24:59
was a very bumpy Landing I was very most
24:59
turbulent Landing that I've had in a
25:01
while I mean it wasn't anything out of
25:02
control but definitely more turbulent
25:04
than they have an entire store called
25:06
visit Salt Lake where you can get all
25:09
kinds of different items from Salt Lake
25:11
there's a Utah hat over here Mighty
25:14
mountains picturesque Canyons happiness
25:17
dwells in Utah what kind of merchandise
25:21
t-shirts and coffee mugs and all kinds
25:23
of things the bottle openers even some
25:26
sweatshirts up here I kind of like this
25:28
baseball style Jersey Urban energetic
25:31
thriving this assault and I now have to
25:34
go towards ground transportation to get
25:37
another rental car so I dropped off one
25:39
Rental Car in Orange County picking up
25:42
another one here in Salt Lake this is a
25:44
little bit of a walk over to the ground
25:46
transportation they had a couple
25:48
walkways that were like moving walkways
25:49
but now it's just straight floors this
25:51
is a very very beautiful airport look at
25:53
this look at the walls up here the very
25:55
unique artistic design up here on this
25:58
little I want to call it a courtyard but
26:00
this little little walkway Rocky
26:02
Mountain Chocolate Factory check out
26:04
this bear
26:05
in the Halloween spirits you look like
26:08
you're it's like this bear has enjoyed a
26:11
toffee or two a couple little chocolate
26:14
bars look tired bear who just says no
26:17
re-entry past this point oh look at this
26:20
it's like triple doors this is like a
26:22
fun house like something out of a fair
26:25
once these doors close you can't get
26:27
back in unless you're good at the
26:28
checkpoint the other way oh there's the
26:30
greeting room someone's going to greet
26:31
me over here look at this
26:32
the greeting room I don't think there's
26:34
anyone here to greet me though
26:36
very very fancy it's very artistic here
26:40
here kind of artsy through this little
26:42
SEC for example over here near the
26:44
escalators take a look at this artistic
26:47
piece stretching all the way it looks
26:49
like something that like a little shards
26:51
that
26:52
Clark Kent's used for the create the
26:54
Fortress of Solitude with this kind of
26:56
like little cylinder pieces that he's
26:58
stuck in the ice and then Fortress of
27:00
Solitude came out of the ground maybe
27:03
that's how this airport was built Clark
27:05
Kent built it I don't know I don't know
27:07
what I'm saying I really do love
27:08
traveling it's fascinating hey could be
27:09
in one place and then later in the
27:11
afternoon you could be in a totally
27:12
different state totally different city
27:13
totally different area at all I never
27:16
really have one particular airline that
27:17
I fly today it just happened to be Delta
27:19
all right that was quick and easy now
27:22
heading down to the bottom level there
27:24
cut my rental car piece of cake well the
27:27
car's a car not a piece of cake but it's
27:29
the same all right relatively simple
27:32
I am now behind the wheel of what they
27:34
refer to as a compact SUV
27:38
I'll have that during the tenure of my
27:40
time in the Salt Lake City area General
27:44
Salt Lake City area
27:51
Out of the Shadows
27:51
into the sun
27:56
got the window down it feels a little
27:56
warmer here than it did in Southern
27:57
California
27:58
we're kind of about to say
28:50
and I was just realized that I have
28:50
never flown into the Salt Lake City
28:52
airport now I was in Salt Lake City gosh
28:55
three four five months ago I've kind of
28:57
lost track of time
28:58
but I drove my car my personal vehicle
29:01
cross country from Florida all the way
29:04
over to California well to Illinois
29:06
first and then across to California and
29:08
Northern California
29:10
and then down Southern California and
29:13
then out here to Salt Lake so I had my
29:15
own car so I didn't fly yeah this is the
29:18
first time I ever flowed in
29:19
to Salt Lake that's why that airport was
29:21
kind of new to me
29:27
check another airport off my list
29:27
I'm pretty sure I'm good to park here
29:30
yeah I think I can park here
29:49
I have a compact SUV according to the
29:49
rental car company
29:50
so I'm allowed to park here
29:53
this is just going to be a short and
29:54
sweet travel
29:56
flight video
29:58
but I'll be around Salt Lake for a
30:00
series of days at least a series of days
30:06
and speaking of days that's gonna do it
30:08
for today
30:12
there goes a semi there that just passed
30:14
by
30:15
hopefully it's not turning it here and
30:17
attempting to park here
30:26
a lot of semis going by
30:26
I'll see you the next video
