I also love John Wayne Airport
3:29
at Island three look at this gargoyle
3:29
right here gargoyle
3:40
there are a heck of a lot of Departures
3:40
here on this board these are not
3:42
arrivals these are all departures
3:46
wow it's interesting because you'll see
3:49
here it is Orange County
3:52
I am one three two zero right there B9
3:57
11 35 it departs but notice say where's
4:01
the gap
4:03
one there it is one three two zero this
4:06
says Orange County
4:08
and as far I've said this before but I'm
4:10
just gonna reiterate
4:12
it's been a while
4:13
but it's one of the few airlines that is
4:15
referred to by the county you'll notice
4:18
Houston doesn't show its County or
4:20
Durango doesn't show its county or
4:22
Chicago doesn't show its County but the
4:25
OC is called the Orange County airport
4:28
there's canopy in here this is the one I
4:30
was looking at from the rental car
4:32
facility is what it looks like inside
4:40
there's some construction over there
4:40
see the Colorado flag
4:43
and this looks down upon
4:46
the main area doesn't look too busy
4:49
got a couple coffee options here kabad
4:52
coffee I haven't gone to the checkpoints
4:54
yet so I don't wanna don't wanna get any
4:56
liquid yet
4:57
sounds interesting come on and then
4:59
there's also Caribou Coffee right here
5:01
caribou
5:06
maybe I'll have something closer to the
5:06
gates or I could just get one on the
5:08
plane okay it was just an illusion there
5:10
is quite of a line down there to go
5:12
through the checkpoints I am looking for
5:15
check-in area seven and eight they have
5:18
them all itemized here so five through
5:21
eight here so I need to go over to that
5:23
side seven and eight
5:26
kind of interesting setup it's just all
5:28
congregated in that one little area by
5:30
the flag
5:31
football Rider here someone panning for
5:33
gold
5:38
injury there
5:38
got a guy on a horse all right going to
5:41
the checkpoints was really convenient
5:42
the scanner they sent me through I
5:44
didn't have to take my shoes off first
5:46
time I've never had to take my shoes off
5:47
at an airport I guess it's luck of the
5:49
draw
5:49
did have to take my laptop out of the
5:51
bag so I put the laptop back in the bag
5:53
and I take my belt off but the shoes
5:54
stayed on way to go Denver and a nice
5:58
little reminder here before going down
5:59
the escalator don't forget me didn't
6:03
forget my belt and I didn't forget these
6:07
so I'm good to go good to have a
6:10
reminder though Josh going down that
6:12
escalator I've stepped into the
6:13
catacombs construction update oh this is
6:17
where you oh
6:18
okay this isn't the gates this is the
6:21
train to the gates this is amazing so
6:24
flying United the entire B gate is unite
6:28
look at AKA Seagate and then the lonely
6:31
United
6:32
right there in the middle I have
6:35
departed
6:36
onto the B gate platform right here and
6:40
once I get off the train there is the
6:43
sculpture of astronaut
6:46
Congressman elect 1982 Jack swigert Jr
6:52
right here saying get to your plane
6:55
paraphrasing all right up on this level
6:57
pretty neat little walkways here but
6:59
then this little Archway this blue
7:02
Archway here underneath another flag
7:12
nice oh this is b37 so I got a little
7:12
bit of a walk over to B9
7:22
sounds like a vitamin B9
7:22
they're the best vitamin on becoming
7:24
creating friendships with people
7:28
B1
7:35
it's supposed to be one you're supposed
7:35
to be
7:36
your friend you're supposed to be one I
7:37
don't know I'm not something yeah I can
7:39
see why this entire area is for United
7:41
because there are just multiple planes
7:44
playing after playing after playing like
7:47
40 plus Gates of United that's a pretty
7:49
cool shirt right there kind of retro
7:51
looking this place doesn't rock this
7:54
sucks
7:55
this sucks I was thinking maybe it was
7:58
this rocks I think it's the socks lots
8:01
of Denver merch see you later Denver and
8:04
there's my aircraft it hasn't boarded
8:07
yet I'm boarding us that's not now
8:08
that's that's not just kind of making a
8:11
humorous
8:12
humorous assumption I'd be flying in a
8:15
little two-person right there a model
8:17
A14 this was placed here in the airport
8:20
in 1993 but it dates back to Colorado
8:23
Springs from 1926 to 1932. also the
8:28
coffee
8:29
I was seeing on the way in now that I am
8:31
through where I need to go through
8:32
Chabad coffee I'm gonna guess all right
8:34
piping hot caffeinated beverage achieved
8:37
took a little while I think they're
8:38
machined for the regular coffee was
8:40
broken kind of spilled over a little bit
8:42
it was an extra frothy
8:44
that's fine as long as I get some
8:45
caffeine in my system should be good
8:47
first time ever happened it's particular
8:50
establishment called
8:52
kabad
8:53
k-o-b-o-d coffee I like that the green
8:57
on time flight ua1320 SMA departure 11
9:01
35 boarding time 10 55 that's about 40
9:04
minutes no actually 51 minutes from

9:08
really nice airport with the seats and
9:10

19:47
still here
19:50

19:52
Walking Tall Standing Tall this thing's
19:56

20:35
kind of warm
20:36
current time at an hour time difference
20:39
from Colorado to here
20:40
it is now 12 55 SoCal time but I love
20:44
picking up a rental car here at Orange
20:46
County airport because you don't have to
20:48
take a shuttle or anything you just walk
20:49
down and get them the catacombs of
20:54
Orange County
21:05
might be one of my favorite airports not
21:05
because it's anything super super fancy
21:07
but just because it's just easy access
21:10
easy in and out it's not too busy rental
21:13
cars are right on site it's glorious
21:15
quick and simple grabbing the rental car
21:17
now heading over to my hotel check in
21:31
it's the rocket
21:31
and a few hours has passed and I am now
21:34
at the Disneyland parking structure
21:35
about to walk through downtown Disney
21:37
and into the parks it's about 5 p.m now
21:40
went to the hotel checked in worked out
21:42
there's a few things and I'm over
21:43
Disneyland oh it looks like the
21:45
sorcerer's hat is under a little bit of
21:47
construction it's a little tarp around
21:48
it well a little
21:50
scaffolding
21:53
I've been pretty consistent in my
21:54
workouts I post the treadmill stories on
21:57
my Instagram my Instagram is Adam the
21:59
woo atw that's Adam the woo atw on
22:02
Instagram if you want to follow along
22:04
and I've been going for about three
22:06
weeks I mean I do pretty consistent
22:08
burning about 500 calories a day 500
22:11
calories is kind of my Plateau sometimes
22:12
I do an hour sometimes I'll do 30
22:14
minutes depending on what the incline is
22:16
and the speed but 500 is like a good
22:20
amount of calories I like to burn each
22:21
day but I've been pretty good but pretty
22:23
solid for a few weeks now without
22:25
missing a day if you want to follow
22:26
along
22:27
I got my Instagram
22:29
feeling pretty good lately feeling
22:31
pretty good
22:33
I don't know what's going on with us
22:40
I've never seen this
22:40
under construction before
22:42
and it does take a little bit of time to
22:44
walk from the structure over here it is
22:46
now 5 23 if I am looking at that
22:50
correctly and of course Disney is
22:52
celebrating their 100 Years of Wonder as
22:55
the train I'm just walking parallel to
22:58
the train with the topiary Mickey it is
23:01
good to be back at Walt's original Magic
23:03
Kingdom I'm not going to be here for
23:05
very long I'm just going to take a
23:05
little stroll through maybe ride one
23:07
thing and see some stuff and just enjoy
23:09
the enjoy the evening yeah the beauty of
23:11
being an annual pass hold I think they
23:13
call them something else here but it's
23:14
basically an annual pass which is like
23:16
uh you know past I guess you in all you
23:19
gotta do is make a reservation and come
23:20
in
23:26
I can't keep up with all the different
23:26
names I call them and I was just like
23:28
since I was in Marceline Missouri
23:29
recently wanted to point out this over
23:31
here kind of tucked away on the Main
23:32
Street USA the hotel Marceline which is
23:34
a little nod to Walt's Hometown it's
23:37
right over here in the first little cusp
23:38
down Main Street about halfway down take
23:41
a right by Starbucks also since I've
23:42
been on the road I was just in Lakeside
23:44
Colorado at Lakeside Amusement Park and
23:47
there was an attraction or ride there
23:48
that was very similar to these Rockets
23:50
here in Tomorrowland they went twice as
23:52
fast and a little bit taller and quite a
23:55
bit sketchier but let me tell you it was
23:56
definitely an adventure so I'm getting a
23:58
little nods to different places I've
23:59
been since I've been home well the road
24:02
a while heading over in Tomorrowland and
24:05
gonna dip over to the DVC Lounge I think
24:07
closed in 20 minutes I'm gonna pop in
24:09
real quick see if I can get a view oh
24:11
yeah it was also just in Kansas City I
24:12
showed the rocket that inspired this
24:14
rocket I'm standing up on the balcony I
24:16
could hear autopia off in the distance
24:18
and I can see the Matterhorn in order to
24:20
get up to this little area you have to
24:22
go through the lounge itself which is
24:23
pretty dang cool you go up some slide of
24:25
stairs you go to the very top floor of
24:27
the old Carousel of Progress building uh
24:29
look through this little hole here you
24:31
can see the submarine the Voyager 307
24:34
going by the monorail will not go by
24:36
when I was walking through downtown
24:37
Disney it looks like it is down today no
24:41
monorail today
24:42
damn all right leaving Disneyland now
24:45
I'm gonna head over to one of my
24:47
favorite faux places
24:49
in Buena Park last couple trips to SoCal
24:52
wasn't able to get by there
24:54
and get a bowl of foca
24:57
chicken fa or Pho I call it pho
25:01
so I'm heading over there now gotta end
25:02
the night
25:03
with the delicious meal I have pretty
25:06
much lost track of how many times I've
25:09
eaten at this place
25:10
either when I was traveling and visiting
25:13
here didn't live here or when I lived in
25:15
Orange County or lived in LA
25:17
I'd always either come down or go up to
25:20
Pho 21 I always get the chicken
25:28
good stuff
25:28
there's a neon here I used to eat it
25:30
this hail back in 2020 when you couldn't
25:32
eat inside 21 around here I'd always sit
25:35
right here they had tables out here the
25:37
outdoor dining era that would sit right
25:39
there
25:40
and eat a nice bowl of pho I always say
25:45
the faux GA which is where is it at
25:50
I know it's up here somewhere that's not
25:52
it
25:54
there it is number 16.
25:59
go inside
25:59
get a bowl get the large bowl reasonably
26:01
priced tasty
26:04
steamingly hot
26:06
and good good for the soul
26:09
good for the mind good for the belly
26:12
excellent stuff here in Buena Park
26:15
21. and that's gonna do it for today I
26:19

26:20
from Denver Colorado earlier
