1:44
made it Orlando International Airport it
1:47
was really busy there was a lot of whole
1:49
heck of a lot of parking at the A and B
1:50
Gates thought about maybe going over to
1:53
the new SE terminal but we ended up
1:56
finding a spot
2:08
spot I never notice us down here from
2:08
the top of the parking structure
2:21
roof like a little River concrete River
2:21
into a pool with a bridge over
2:29
it ever seen that before don't forget to
2:29
remove remove these items from your
2:31
dashboard and
2:33
windshield
2:35
cameras and older era cell phone I don't
2:39
know what that's that's supposed to be
2:40
like a GPS thing I don't even know what
2:43
this is that a track a track
2:46
player for a deer
2:54
look flat what are they they're flat oh
2:54

3:00
noticed that before they are skinny
3:02
deer you know me I noticed everything
3:05
you
3:05
do you don't really see till you come
3:07
around the
3:24
side mom does not want to walk at an
3:24
extremely fast rate of speed so she's
3:27
opting to not take a little walkway
3:43
fast we're going to be sitting on the
3:43
plane the rest of the night so I don't
3:45
think I've ever seen a
3:48
caution baggage thing that says
3:50
Starbucks on it that is a Starbucks wet
3:52
floor sign nowhere near Starbucks
4:02
this one
4:02
open can we make it can we make it can
4:04
we make it right
4:13
here all right I'm starting to get
4:13
really familiar with this Orlando
4:15
Airport and these miniature indoor
4:28
Palms all of this all artwork right here
4:29
is from the Orlando Museum of Art and do
4:32
not water these plants this plant needs
4:35
no water please no water I guess it's
4:38
probably a fake plant they don't want to
4:41
water it and they do not want anyone
4:42
else watering it so it has the no
4:46
water right there on the side it's not a
4:48
real
4:50
plant who knew all right B Gates got
4:53
plenty of time our flight does not
4:54
depart till
4:55
6:57 definitely getting here a little
4:57
bit early the line doesn't look too bad
4:59
maybe a 20-minute wait give or take I'm
5:01
going to tell you some I'm going to give
5:02
you some information so I can tell you
5:04
some
5:05
information The Jerky Boys I think I
5:07
miss cloting Jerky Boys but look at all
5:09
those departures and arrivals ah
5:10
estimated wait time 30 to 34 minutes
5:14
we're gate 50 in the middle 50 but
5:16
that's right there so it's 30 to 34 all
5:17
right we looked out and actually didn't
5:19
wait that long they put us in another
5:20
line it waited about 5 or 10 minutes so
5:23
didn't have to wait the full 30 or
5:25
whatever it was take the belt shoes off
5:27
take the laptop out of the bag Etc
5:31
believe they w't take my ID cuz they
5:33
didn't look like me they didn't look
5:35
like
5:36
you is it just an old photo of you yeah
5:40
I was young then I'm old
5:43
now there was some confusion not nothing
5:46
they thought my mom had a fake he had a
5:47
fake
5:48
ID think I was trying to get through on
5:50
by ID just took the gate link
5:54
across see some of the American Airlines
5:56
planes out
5:58
there heading to her
6:00
Gates yeah that was a little confusing
6:03
my M's photo on her license they were
6:04
like is this you jellies of the sea look
6:07
at this vitamin C jellies of the sea
6:09
right here there's a little Gator on
6:12
there jellies of the sea eight pieces of
6:14
fun squeezable jellies and flavored
6:18
bubbles you can lick imagine like
6:20
licking
6:22
bubbles look at this Mac and I always
6:24
show this little stand every time I'm
6:26
here they have different types this is
6:28
gummy candy that looks like craft Mac
6:29
and
6:46
cheese American Airlines I don't really
6:46
have a airline of choice I just kind of
6:48
pick and choose whatever is accessible
6:51
and convenient for the time frames of
6:53
going to certain places I don't know if
6:55
I really have a
6:57
favorite yeah it's going to be most ly a
7:00
evening Night Flight bright right now
7:03
but by the time we get to our layover
7:05
and then Final Destination it's going to
7:07
be
7:16
dark this is also not our gate we're at
7:16
54 this is gate 58 but same
7:23
Airlines all right this is the gate 54
7:23
however this plane is going to
7:25
Philadelphia and once it leaves another
7:27
one will pull in which will be the one
7:29
my mom and I get on but this is the gate
7:31
we're at gate
7:38
54 got here a little early a little
7:38
under about 2 hours till
7:43
departure yeah while I'm at it I'll
7:44
peruse around some of the other Gates
7:46
this is
7:51
55 and you can see the distance from the
7:51
main area where we parked and you take
7:54
the little shuttle over the little
7:57
Transportation device
8:08
hi I used to despise flying I used to be
8:11
so afraid of it and then I got
8:12
comfortable flying and then I just
8:13
didn't really like the experience but
8:15
now I kind of like it I kind of like the
8:18
having a day where you're just flying
8:20
looking out the seats look at the
8:24
clouds look going at fly over Stak from
8:26
your window except today I am Landing in
8:30
a flyover state I'm going to be in a
8:33
flyover state for like a week well a few
8:36
flyover states kind of staying right on
8:38
the threshold of three Fly Over
8:41
States Midwest Adventures for the next
8:45
six seven eight days let's call Six Days
8:47
say six days six or seven days let's say
8:49
it a week close to a week almost a week
8:52
give her almost a week There's 54 and I
8:55
think that is one that
8:58
just exited out I just poed up against
9:00
the Mir that's the one going to
9:02
Philadelphia and I think possibly this
9:04
is the one that we're going to be
9:05
boarding soon I could be wrong though
9:08
anyway this is our gate
9:11
54 all right the little tug push back
9:13
devic is backing away from plane at gate
9:16
58 also just got an alert that said our
9:19
flight will be departing 10 minutes late
9:21
we only had 45 minutes for The
9:24
Layover when we get to Charlotte so now
9:26
we only have 35 minutes to get off the
9:28
plane and get on the other plane so
9:29
that'll make it interesting but I
9:31
believe it's in the same the same
9:33
section so it basically get off one
9:35
plane and get back on the other very
9:37
little time to
9:52
delay yeah not
9:52
good do not like delays but I think
9:54
we'll be all right
10:28
a quick flight once Airborne 1 hour 15
10:28
minutes uh we'll be taking off to the
10:30
north and Landing North in Charlotte
10:32
which uh helps us make up some time
10:36
should be a mostly smooth ride we
10:38
expected to get a little bumpy in the
10:39
descent into Charlotte due to the
10:41
weather coming in from the West once we
10:44
get up to our cruising altitude we'll be
10:46
back with you with a estimated arrival
10:49
time and weather and Sh again welcome
10:51
aboard please more call nothing at all
10:56
that requires a signal so after we've
10:58
landed in Charlotte
11:01
flight stand
11:04
for supposed to turn on Airplane it I
11:07
don't know if it I guess you're supposed
11:09
to I don't know what happens if you
11:21
don't I wonder what happens if you don't
11:21
put your phone in airplane mode they
11:24
confiscate it I got to figure out how
11:27
to just go to settings and
11:37

11:37
hand FAL regulations prohibit smoking

elongated shadow of the wheels and the
12:25
Torso of the plate turning onto the
12:28
runway to depart
12:30
going to have two takeoffs and two
12:32
Landings today if all go
13:40
just due to the temperature there in
13:40
Orlando and uh it requires us to lower
13:43
the gear just to cool the brakes off uh
13:46
so we'll keep them down for about
13:47
another 5 minutes and we'll raise them
13:49
we're continuing on to Charlotte it's
13:51
not a issue this once they're cooled
13:54
down we'll raise the gear again and
13:56
continue our clim continue our Journey
13:59
on to
14:16
