Transcript

Today's adventure begins
0:04
as the recording of this Sunday,
0:08
December 7th, 2025.
0:11
I'm getting a last look off my balcony
0:13
here
0:15
in Millhhaw, Malta.
0:18
I'm going to be leaving this country
0:19
today and heading to another destination
0:22
that I have never been to.
0:25
Leaving Malta
0:28
and heading to Switzerland.
0:36
Why not? Got my bags all packed up,
0:36
ready to go. Got my rolling suitcase, my
0:39
backpack there, and also the over the
0:42
shoulder chest mounted fanny pack that I
0:45
keep my wallet in, camera batteries,
0:48
passport, etc. keep it close to my torso
0:52
when traveling international because got
0:54
to hold on to that passport. All right,
0:56
I'm going to get going. I really like
0:58
this hotel, by the way. Very, very
1:00
windy. Not sure what the weather's going
1:02
to be like Switzerland, but I probably
1:04
will be a little crisper and colder than
1:07
it is here, even though there has been a
1:08
nice a nice little coolness in the air.
1:12
Very nice, very nice wind blowing right
1:16
now.
1:17
I'm going to head down, get myself a
1:19
coffee at the spot I've been going to
1:21
each morning before starting my days
1:23
here, and then grab a Bolt Uber. There's
1:26
not a lot of Ubers here in Malta, so
1:28
they have a ride share system called
1:29
Bolt. I'll order one of those to get
1:31
over to the airport. But heading down
1:33
towards that cathedral, get some coffee
1:36
and get going. I'm off to Switzerland.
1:38
So excited. And these were my
1:41
accommodations. The Sana Hotel right
1:44
here. Of course, I was facing towards
1:46
the bay and towards the Mediterranean
1:48
Sea, approaching the coffee. And this is
1:50
where I'm going to get my ride share
1:51
pickup spot in the Christmas tree in
1:53
this cathedral. Interesting. I can hear
1:55
the bells each evening at the cathedral
1:59
and in the morning. So, sometimes these
2:00
things start ringing at like 6:00 in the
2:02
morning, but not exactly on the hour.
2:04
Sometimes even at night at like 8:00 at
2:06
night, but never at 8 and 6 precisely.
2:08
They will ring them sometimes at like,
2:11
you know, 8:10 or 6:03 a.m. like never
2:15
an exact time frame. I go, "Oh, it must
2:17
be on the hour." And then I would look
2:19
at my look at my phone and the time was
2:21
way off. So these these bells just ring
2:23
sporadically. I never ever could really
2:27
get any sort of template when what time
2:30
they rang them. They just rang them at
2:31
all all different time frames and hours.
2:33
Now keep in mind the water is not good
2:34
for drinking. However, I hope the coffee
2:38
is they're having a little bit of a
2:39
bizaarre over here at this particular
2:41
moment. A little outdoor bazaar is
2:45
taking place with all kind of different
2:47
items.
2:53
All right, get the day going. Do my
2:53
intro and grab a car. Example,
2:58
these just started ringing. It is 12:03.
3:01
Not 12 on the dot. 12:03.
3:08
I cannot figure out for the life of me
3:08
at what time frame those are supposed to
3:10
ring. Didn't ring at 12. 12:03. It rang
3:13
four times. Welcome everyone. Adam the
3:16
Woo here. Let's have a travel day and
3:18
arrival day from Malta to Switzerland.
3:22
I'm inviting you to join me. It's good
3:24
to have you here. Another country
3:26
knocked off my list and going to be
3:28
arriving in a different country to add
3:30
to my list. It's been a good year of
3:32
travel. Join me. Let's continue it,
3:35
shall we? All right, I made the commute.
3:39
Now arrived at Malta International
3:42
Airport.
3:44
Go check in for my flight. Well, I've
3:46
already checked in, but I'll go find out
3:48
what gate I need to go to.
4:01
My flight takes off at 2:25,
4:01
1425 hours.
4:04
Flight KM490. I'm flying KM Malta once
4:08
again. I flew it in and I'm flying it
4:10
out.
4:18
225 says on time
4:18
and I can check in here even though I
4:20
checked in online. I'm going to get a
4:22
paper paper check in and also find out
4:26
which which one of my which gate I need
4:28
to go to.
4:30
Not too many people in the KM line.
4:33
Not too many people at all. Actually,
4:34
I'm the only one in line for the KM
4:36
line. The only one. Need to please
4:38
prepare my boarding pass.
4:41
Got it all printed out. Also, just
4:43
realized I have access to this lounge
4:46
also.
4:48
And
4:49
even though I'm doing carry-on, they
4:52
gave me this overhead bin compartment
4:56
tag to put on here. I've never seen that
4:57
for carry-on before. As far as all the
5:00
check-ins for all the airlines, not a
5:03
beehive of activity. A lot of people
5:05
coming in from the transportation buses
5:07
and things, but all the check-in areas,
5:09
not a beehive of activity. All right,
5:11
getting through the checkpoints. Took a
5:12
grand total of about 2 minutes. 2
5:15
minutes having the bags checked and
5:18
everything. And now you got to walk
5:19
through the Malta duty free [laughter]
5:23
dree shops or do fry or do fry shops.
5:27
You got Santa right here saying come on
5:30
in, purchase some stuff, buy some
5:32
things. This is the craziest Impulse Buy
5:35
section before going to the gates. This
5:37
is called Impulse Spies done right. Look
5:40
at this area. Memories of Malta.
5:44
Ah, memories of Malta.
5:47
I have some memories of Malta. I did
5:48
some things.
5:49
>> This is the final call for FR 3871
5:53
to Travis. That's the final
5:55
>> file. Passengers are kindly requested to
5:58
board immediately at G.
6:00
>> Oh, look at the Knights of Malta right
6:01
there.
6:03
Very nice.
6:11
I got two magnets from Malta. Maybe I'll
6:11
buy a third in here. Hopefully I'll have
6:14
a good assortment of Malta
6:16
>> Malta magnets.
6:19
>> Actually, more think about it. I think
6:20
two magnets are are pretty good. None of
6:24
the magnets I got are on here, but I got
6:26
one similar to that.
6:29
>> And I also got a Popeye Village magnet.
6:31
So, I got two two Malta magnets I could
6:34
put on my
6:37
metal cabinets in my garage when I get
6:38
home. Whatever that is. Oh, that would
6:41
be the gift that keeps on giving for the
6:43
holidays. I mean, fruit cake is
6:45
something everyone gets, but you could
6:47
get a Maltese fruit cake. Or how about a
6:49
honey ring
6:52
or mret? Macaret. I thought he was doing
6:56
like a chef's kiss, but in fact, he's
6:58
taking the delicious treat, putting in
7:00
his mouth. I thought he was doing like
7:01
the chef's kiss there. A pasti.
7:05
Oh, an assortment of 16 miniature
7:07
macaroon biscuits
7:09
with the Malta Malta emblem there.
7:20
Now, my gate will not show what time I'm
7:20
supposed to Well, my gate number will
7:22
not show up till 1:35. So, still got a
7:25
half hour. And I guess I get access to
7:28
the Lavallet Club or the Lava Lake Club,
7:32
which is
7:35
I guess would be here maybe. Oh, here we
7:38
go.
7:41
Took the elevator up.
7:50
other lounge. All right, I'm in the
7:50
lounge. Checked in. They said they make
7:51
no announcements for flights, so keep an
7:54
eye on the monitors, different times
7:58
around the globe. Got New York over
8:01
here.
8:03
Got London.
8:05
I always love doing this. Do this a lot
8:07
at MCO, Orlando International. This is
8:10
the current time here which would be I
8:13
don't know 106. A pillow
8:22
Tokyo.
8:22
They also have some computers here.
8:25
No one's really using them cuz everyone
8:27
has computers on their phone. There's
8:29
the assortment of buffet items.
8:32
crackers, rosemary crackers,
8:35
some kind of mixture of nuts,
8:39
and different items. Look at this. You
8:40
got some
8:42
peas down there. I don't know what those
8:44
are. Lime beans, maybe.
8:57
Sandwiches, salad,
8:57
even little gingerbread biscuit cookies,
9:00
lemon cake.
9:02
vanilla muffins.
9:09
Oh, I also love the fact that there is
9:09
an outdoor
9:11
area.
9:18
It's a nice lounge.
9:18
And I am grateful that one of the items
9:20
they had in the lounge was this, which I
9:23
think is specifically for
9:26
Malta Kenny soda. I could be incorrect,
9:29
but I saw this all over. So, you got
9:32
Coca-Cola, you got Pepsi, you know, all
9:34
the traditionals. Then you also have
9:36
Kenny. I wasn't able to try one and they
9:38
have them in the lounge, so I'm going to
9:41
give it a try before departing.
9:44
Malta. I don't think that's my plane.
9:48
That's a Malta plane. All right. I got a
9:50
few things. They got a chicken skewer,
9:53
a fritter, kiche, some shakuderie stuff.
9:57
And I must say, this is not the most
10:00
refreshing drink I've ever had. Kind of
10:02
tastes like Beverly mixed with like a
10:04
little bit of cola.
10:06
Like a little more cola-esque Beverly,
10:09
but it does have a Beverly feel to it.
10:13
Kenny, not refreshing. I don't think
10:16
it's as bad as Beverly, but not
10:20
Good.
10:22
I ended up getting some OJ to chase it
10:24
and wash it down afterwards.
10:28
Yeah, bottoms up. Well, I don't know if
10:31
I'm going to finish all this. I might
10:32
want to take a couple more swigs.
10:40
Look at this little thing. A fritter and
10:40
a key.
10:47
It's
10:47
>> kind of warm in there. I had to take my
10:48
hoodie off.
10:50
But I'm pretty confident I will be
10:51
putting it back on when I land in
10:53
Switzerland.
11:10
Not taking the bus over. Taking the very
11:10
short walk.
11:12
Very short walk.
11:20
Getting on the plane.
11:20
Going to eat the underbelly of this bad
11:22
boy.
11:36
Windy. Apologize for the wind.
11:36
It's windy.
12:03
>> For your safety and comfort, we're
12:03
requested to place large baggies in the
12:05
overhead compartment and small bags from
12:08
the seat in front of you. If you are
12:11
seated in row number one or an emergency
12:13
exit row, all items must be stowed in
12:16
the hatch track. Thank you for your
12:17
cooperation.
12:19
Connect devices on flight mode. These
12:21
may be used to the flight. However, this
12:23
option is not available. The device
12:24
needs to be completely switched off.
12:26
Thank you.
12:35
Dear passengers, we kindly ask for your
12:35
full attention while I explain the
12:36
safety features of this aircraft. If you
12:38
are wearing earphones or headphones,
12:39
please take a moment to remove them now.
12:41
For your safety and comfort, follow all
12:43
illuminated signs, black cards, and
12:45
instructions.
16:34
All right, I think I'm going to grab a
16:34
snack
16:35
here in the business class.
16:41
No one's in No one's in the middle seat,
16:41
but no one's on the end seat either,
16:44
which is kind of nice. There are three
16:45
seats to each section. Each section
16:55
They have a salad.
16:55
Olives, girkens, sundried tomatoes,
16:58
salmon, orzo salad,
17:01
fresh fruit, maltese bread, an
17:04
assortment of beverages, some of the
17:06
non-alcoholic ones. I'll probably just
17:09
get a regular Coke or maybe a water.
17:12
will not be drinking another Kenny or
17:15
Kiny.
17:21
>> Yeah, let me get some get a little snack
17:48
really a quite a bit of saltware.
17:48
Couple of spoons, three forks. No, two
17:52
forks, two spoons, and a knife.
18:07
It looks pretty good.
18:07
some fresh fruit.
18:09
Little dessert item
19:23
Once again we are presently over flying
19:23
Milano area started the gradual descent
19:25
towards Zurich and as things stand now
19:28
we should be there in the next 30
19:30
minutes. Weather in uh
19:33
in Zurich is cloudy with rain showers
19:37
and a temperature of 8° C. It's a
19:40
pleasure having you on board. On behalf
19:41
of all the crew at Kines, thank you for
19:44
flying with us. Goodbye and thank you.
20:47
Dear passengers which are shortly
20:47

20:49
seat belt and put the seat back in an
20:50
upright position. Slow the tray table
20:53
and the electronic device holder. Lower

24:50

25:04
Dear passengers, we kindly ask you to
25:04
allow our business class passengers to
25:06
December first. Your cooperation is
25:08
greatly appreciated. Thank you.
25:42
really. There wasn't a lot of visibility
25:42
even landing.
26:01
Captain crew, disarm
26:01
>> [clears throat]
26:31
>> Unbelievable. Unbelievable.
26:34
>> Swiss army knife.
26:36
First thing, first advertisement.
26:43
I should probably grab the ATM. Get some
26:44
travel cash. Different currency here
26:46
than what I was using recently. And I'll
26:49
have some new currency that I've never
26:51
used before. Yeah, I got some to spend
26:53
and some to take home. Obviously, I
26:55
pulled out a little bit in the
26:57
increments of 50. Are they franks or
27:00
francs?
27:02
But I'll use these and I'll try to get
27:04
some other bills. Each country I go to,
27:06
I try to save some bills and coins, you
27:10
know, just to just to have as souvenir.
27:11
So, but use the currency and save some
27:14
of them. I don't think I've ever used
27:15
franks or francs. I'm not sure how it's
27:17
pronounced, but I got some
27:19
got some Switzerland cash.
27:29
You know, it's a really interesting
27:29
feeling, freeing feeling to be somewhere
27:32
that you really don't have to be at, but
27:35
you are at and you didn't really know
27:38
you were going to go to.
27:41
Switzerland was not on my original
27:43
agenda when I left Florida doing this
27:47
trip of international travels, but I
27:49
thought since I'm over in this area,
27:51
might as well, right?
28:01
I am in Zurich or Zurich,
28:01
>> Switzerland.
28:08
>> This is beautiful and peaceful.
28:08
They got the sound effects.
28:10
Birds in the background
28:38
It's good to be here.
28:38
It's really good to be here.
28:53
I love traveling. I [laughter] love I
28:53
love it so much. I made it. No passport
28:56
check necessary.
28:58
Even though it is a completely different
28:59
country. I did not realize this until I
29:02
went to Malta, but I guess there's a
29:04
certain region. When you're on this side
29:06
of the world, there's certain countries
29:08
that are all part of that region that
29:11
you don't have to show your passport
29:12
upon landing, which is kind of nice. Oh,
29:14
I've seen these other places. It is a
29:16
smoking lounge that it's a closed plexi
29:19
box. And don't even think about smoking
29:21
outside, though. Look at this right here
29:23
painted in the ground. There's a
29:26
cigarette with a slash through it. Oh,
29:29
feels nice. Feels nice outside.
29:32
Definitely a little crisper and cooler
29:33
than where I just was.
29:36
I can actually see my breath in front of
29:37
me.
29:39
Not dramatically, but slightly.
29:42
See if I can grab a taxi or ride share
29:45
and
29:50
get over to my hotel. Ah, here we go.
29:50
Taxis.
29:52
This works.
29:55
There's nobody in line for the taxis. I
29:56
can't handle this.
29:59
Uber's probably a little cheaper or
30:01
what's the bolt? But this is this is a
30:03
lot faster. So, take this
30:13
ch in the last it's called Zurich.
30:13
>> Zurich.
30:14
>> Yeah.
30:16
>> Okay.
30:16
>> And but in in a common language we say
30:19
Zuri.
30:21
>> Zuri.
30:22
>> Yeah. So city Zurich is in in Swiss
30:25
German we say Zuri that's why it's
30:28
called um the specialtity of the Zuri um
30:32
called Zuri
30:35
not Zurich Zuri
30:37
>> so Zuri
30:38
>> yeah that is German
30:41
>> all right I have arrived to the area
30:43
known as old town
30:54
A lot of people have their umbrellas. I
30:54
brought my umbrella from Malta that I
30:56
purchased, the small one.
30:59
I did not
31:01
bring the umbrella from Italy. It was
31:02
like too big to put in my carry-on. So,
31:04
I left it there. Bought another one in
31:06
Malta, a smaller one that is a little
31:08
more travel companiony. And that is in
31:10
my rolling case. So, I'm going to go
31:12
check in my hotel and then just see
31:15
where the rest of the evening leaves. I
31:16
don't The weather's pretty bad, so I
31:18
don't know. Might save some exploring
31:20
for tomorrow. It's already after dark.
31:22
It's rainy
31:24
and very, very nasty weather out right
31:26
now. Okay, all checked in my room. Small
31:30
little accommodations here. Went ahead
31:33
and cracked the window over there to get
31:35
the nice fresh air outside. Got a small
31:39
bed for me here, but they put a little
31:42
chocolate
31:44
little chocolate
31:46
snack there to say hello. I guess the
31:48
blanket would be this thing here in the
31:51
middle, guessing.
32:04
Nothing too fancy, but pretty decent to
32:04
be honest.
32:06
Here's the accommodations.
32:15
There you go. Put my stuff away.
32:15
Unpack a couple things.
32:22
see what's going on outside.
32:22
I'm in Switzerland.
32:31
Yeah, it hasn't stopped raining yet. So,
32:31
I'm going to grab the umbrella,
32:34
take a stroll.
32:45
Pretty good view out the side window
32:46
here. the hotel I'm staying at.
32:50
Window opens wide open.
33:03
All right, train station
33:03
straight ahead.
33:05
So, tomorrow I'll be able to use some
33:07
public transportation, whether it be
33:09
trains,
33:11
ride share,
33:13
buses, etc.
33:16
figure out some things to do while I'm
33:30
Santa Claus is driving that thing.
33:30
Santa Claus was driving that thing. And
33:34
also, I left my small umbrella up in the
33:38
room, but thankfully the hotel I'm
33:40
staying at, they had umbrellas in the
33:43
lobby.
33:50
I think I might walk that way. Looks
33:50
like there's a lot going on down there.
34:00
Let's take a look
34:00
at the display over here.
34:12
>> It's beginning to look a lot like
34:12
Christmas through here.
34:14
Christmas treats,
34:25
>> Christmas village,
34:25
Christmas street fair
34:28
thwarted by the rain. It's coming down
34:29
pretty good. Yeah, I think I might call
34:32
an early night. Do some planning, do a
34:35
little chilling, relaxing.
34:48
start the day off tomorrow. Man, there
34:48
are trains going everywhere here.
34:57
It's just like hardly any any warning
34:57
when they're coming through.
35:14
All right, I'm going to call it a night.
35:14
That's going to do it for today. I have
35:17
left one country that I had never been
35:18
to until last series of days.
35:22
Malta. Had a good time. And now I'm in
35:27
I'll be here for an undisclosed amount
35:28
of time as well.
35:32
It's rainy.
35:34
I was looking at the weather tomorrow.
35:36
Not as much rain in the forecast, but
35:38
you never know. Weather's unpredictable.
35:42
Train station straight ahead.
35:45
I appreciate you watching and I'll see
35:48
you in the next video, the vlog.
