0:03 Welcome everyone.
0:04 Adam the Woo here. I'm back at another
0:05 airport. As the recording of this, it is
0:07 Monday,
0:09 September 15, 2025,
0:13 Boisee, Idaho.
0:16 I was only here for a couple days, but
0:18 now I'm heading back to the greater Los
0:20 Angeles area, flying to LAX, where I
0:23 will then grab a ride share and head
0:25 down to Orange County Anaheim for a
0:28 short while. And then after a couple
0:30 days, other areas of not only the OC,
0:34 but also greater LA area. It's a travel
0:37 day. It's bright out here. Very few
0:38 clouds in the sky, if any. Only couple
0:41 of little streaky clouds over there.
0:44 Feels good out. Nice and warm. Well, not
0:47 too warm, but warm enough to feel a
0:50 little sun permeating through through
0:52 the hat, through my glasses, through the
0:56 backpack, and through here. probably a
0:58 lot warmer in California than it is
1:00 here. I'll check momentarily.
1:03 I c I got a plane to catch and I'm
1:05 inviting you, yes you, to join me. It's
1:08 good to have you here.
1:10 Shall you? Doesn't look like there's
1:12 hardly anyone in line for TSA. The
1:15 checkpoints over there. Very mellow.
1:18 Very mellow indeed. I'm going to say I'm
1:19 going to just walk right up and go right
1:21 in after showing my
1:23 credentials.
1:26 had a good time. Just a couple days here
1:29 in the Boisee area hanging out with my
1:31 sister.
1:33 But now it's time to get back to
1:35 California. At some point I will go
1:37 home. At some point I will get back
1:39 before the end of the month back to
1:41 Celebration Florida. It feels like I
1:42 haven't really been home at all the last
1:44 few months or at least this whole year.
1:46 But I'll get back there eventually and
1:49 once I'm back, my plans are to be home
1:51 for a solid month when I finally get
1:53 back, whatever that is. Take a look at
1:55 this. There's like hard I mean you still
1:56 got these like these little back and
1:58 forths, but there's really no one in
2:00 line. There's my flight right up there.
2:02 B20 is where I'm going. B 20 DL, which
2:07 is Delta 3694
2:10 is the flight number. B20 departs at
2:15 3:45 p.m. Boards at 3:15. Current time
2:19 2:27. So I got about 45 minutes. So
2:23 boarding. Nice. This is honor system. $4
2:27 for coffee right over here. You got the
2:29 selfs serve fresh brood. Looks like all
2:32 they have is dark roast, which that'll
2:34 work. $4. Don't have any change. They do
2:36 have a crisp five or semi crisp five.
2:40 So, I'm going to go ahead and get my uh
2:42 the honor system here. Put the uh the $5
2:46 in there right there.

8:51 Heat.
11:32 All right, exited out into this little
11:32 area. This looks like it's just been
11:34 recently redone.
11:41 See that iconic little archway
11:41 area over out outside there? Yeah, I
11:45 think last time I was through here,
11:46 which is wasn't that long ago, this is
11:47 still under construction or
11:51 I'm going through a different area.
12:27 It is rush hour now. Timewise, like 5
12:27 o'clock.
12:28 So, getting down to Orange County. Yeah,
12:30 it's 4:56
12:32 California time.
12:34 5:56 Idaho time. Hour time difference.
12:40 So, I'm not in any rush to get an Uber
12:42 into Orange County cuz I'm sure traffic
12:44 is horrible right now.
13:04 and to go catch my ride share
13:04 and just walk. I'm not going to take the
13:05 shuttle. I've just learned when you're
13:08 over here at the two gates and the three
13:11 gates, which is Delta, it's closer
13:14 to just walk than it is to wait for the
13:16 shuttle to go over to the ride share.
13:18 Like I walked out of there and all I got
13:19 to do is go that direction from two to
13:23 one and into the taxi area. Way quicker
13:27 than waiting for the shuttle.
14:01 I'm here really often.
14:01 Certain airports I'm always at. Atlanta,
14:04 MCO, LAX.
14:07 Those are probably the top three that
14:09 I've super familiar with. And then mix
14:12 in a bunch of other ones. Let's say that
14:15 that would be the the three that I've
14:19 been to the most.
14:25 If I was making a list, which I'm not, a
14:25 couple options. You can order a lift, an
14:27 Uber, or you can take a taxi. This is
14:30 taxi row.
14:32 The good thing about taxis,
14:34 you don't have to wait at all. You just
14:36 go to the front of the line,
14:39 get in the taxi, take you where you got
14:41 to go. But they are a little bit pricier
14:44 than the other two, but not by much. I
14:46 think I'm going to take an Uber.
14:50 I'm always amazed by how many stickers
14:52 there are on all these. Oh, these are
14:55 concrete. There's concrete inside these
14:59 metal buckets.
15:01 Full concrete. This ain't going
15:03 anywhere.
15:05 Oh yeah, people have put stickers all
15:08 over this. I added a sticker somewhere
15:11 out here one time. I don't know, a year
15:13 ago, 6 months ago, 3 months ago, two
15:15 months ago. I've lost track of time.
15:19 I don't even remember where I put the
15:20 sticker. Here's my shadow. Now I'll
15:22 leave my shadow.
15:33 All the different zones. I'm over here
15:33 at 23A
15:35 trying to order one and they're waiting
15:38 for a
15:47 Yeah, the T Oh my gosh, that's the taxi
15:47 line. Look at the taxi line starts right
15:51 here where those other taxis now pulling
15:53 up in the line. Stretches all
15:57 the way that direction
16:01 and it ends up over there. Again,
16:04 taxi would you have to wait not to order
16:07 a taxi there just already.
16:15 And down to Anaheim where I'm going to
16:15 be staying tonight.
16:18 Staying off of just off of Harbor.
16:21 Familiar spot for me, I know.
16:27 An hour and 15 minutes at this time of
16:28 day.
16:29 Nice cozy cozy ride for an hour and 15
16:31 minutes on the on the freeways. All
16:34 right, my ride will be here in 4
16:36 minutes.
16:44 I place another momento
16:44 right there
16:53 amongst all the other stickers. Stickers
16:53 everywhere out here. Look at Frankie.
17:09 place mine over next to 23B,
17:09 which is right next to 23A, right on the
17:12 back side of the sign. 23B at LAX. If
17:16 all goes well, I'll be home by the 24th
17:18 or 25th of this month. Maybe even a day
17:20 or two before that. But if I'm home by
17:21 the 24th, that'll give me four complete
17:24 weeks home before I have plans to leave
17:26 again, which would be amazing. I can be
17:29 home for four straight weeks. That's the
17:32 first time that might be the first time
17:33 in over a year and a half I've been home
17:34 that long. Made it over to Harbor now. I
17:37 am now in Anaheim,
17:39 quarter of Harbor and Disney. And
17:42 there's a pizza press over there right
17:45 over at the Anaheim Hotel. And I'm going
17:47 to get myself a a pizza pie.
17:51 right over there. Also, check it out.
17:53 You got the Orange County pigeons flying
17:56 through the or parrots. Not pigeons.
17:58 That's what I'm going to say. Parrots.
18:00 Parrots. Pigeons. They're both Yo,
18:02 there's some more right there. The
18:04 parrots as they come.
18:07 >> Well, you know, maybe those aren't the
18:09 parrots. They're birds. They're not
18:11 making the typical squawking of the
18:14 Orange County parrots. This is the Walk
18:16 of Fame that they call it. You got the
18:20 owner of owners of the Anaheim Ducks
18:22 right there. And then you keep
18:24 continuing on over here. You got the
18:28 founders of Carl Jr., Carl Carer, there.
18:31 And of course, a man who needs no
18:33 introduction right here on his property
18:35 for Walt's original Magic Kingdom. Right
18:38 on the other side of that tree is the
18:39 former Hollywood Tower, now Guardians of
18:41 the Galaxy. The Walt Disney himself
18:44 right here, the man on harbor. Yeah,
18:48 look at the Hitchcock
18:50 would be proud. Just a continual flow
18:56 birds here going across. Again, don't
19:00 think those are the parrots like I was
19:01 thinking they were like those are crows
19:05 perhaps. I mean, it's just like an
19:07 influx are all just
19:10 running parallel to Harbor Boulevard.
19:31 over at the pizza press.
19:31 I don't know what it is. There's one of
19:32 these in Celebration. Well, just outside
19:34 Celebration on Highway 192. I hardly
19:36 ever I think I've only eaten at it maybe
19:38 once or twice, but whenever I'm in
19:40 Anaheim, this is a pretty consistent
19:42 spot. that I walk over into the Pizza
19:46 Crest on Harbor.
19:49 It's weird how certain places will
19:52 they'll kind of excite your taste buds
19:54 even though the same place,
19:57 you know, have spots open in other areas
20:01 that you just I don't know. It's weird
20:02 how it's weird how your mind and taste
20:04 buds work. Somebody get some pizza. Look
20:07 at that over there. That's not a bird,
20:08 but it is a crane. Even though a crane
20:10 is a type of a bird that's over I think
20:12 in Avengers Campus. So before I went in
20:14 I was watching the I think it was the
20:16 11th inning. It was in it was after the
20:19 ninth inning. I think they I think it
20:20 was in the 11th inning for two innings
20:22 it was tied up with the Rays and Blue
20:24 Jays. I was thinking that they would
20:26 walk it off. They had a perfect
20:27 opportunity to walk it off the Rays dead
20:29 to win against the Blue Jays and they uh
20:31 they kind of crapped the bed again the
20:33 Rays dead. So again, this is not the
20:35 Rays year and the wild card hopes have
20:38 pretty much slipped into oblivion at
20:40 this point. I was thinking maybe if
20:42 they, you know, swept the Blue Jays,
20:45 but yeah, I I tortured myself a little
20:47 bit by
20:49 by thinking that
20:52 they're going to make things happen. But
20:53 this this is not the year. Had had high
20:56 hopes as the season began, but what can
21:00 you do?
21:01 I think there's only a dozen or so games
21:03 left in the
21:06 in the year regular season games and I
21:09 think I've gone to my last raise game
21:11 this year.
21:13 Just thinking maybe if they made it to
21:15 the but it's a lot of freaking birds.
21:16 It's a lot of freaking birds.
21:24 All right, I'm going to get some pizza.
21:24 Dang. I had some hopes that they were
21:25 going to pull that one through tonight,
21:26 but they didn't. As always, very
21:28 enjoyable.
21:30 There was like a little pizza press,
21:32 little pepperoni, ham, mushrooms,
21:36 assortment of other things
21:39 loaded up.
21:42 Really good. Now walking back to Harbor.
21:45 Go over to my hotel. Staying somewhere
21:47 I've never stayed before, which is kind
21:49 of nice.
21:55 I'm a little probably a little more
21:55 bummed out about the race than I should
21:58 be. You focus on a team for entire
22:02 season, spring training,
22:05 you know, all the games of that and then
22:07 162 games in the regular season. I think
22:09 there's maybe 12 left. They've already
22:10 played like 150
22:12 and they're pretty much eliminated.
22:15 Season's not over, but yeah, they're
22:18 pretty much eliminated. It's just uh too
22:20 far gone at this point. The one silver
22:22 lining is I know won't be going
22:25 anywhere, needing to go anywhere in
22:26 October because that was the one
22:29 kind of astric of me not traveling
22:33 in October.
22:38 Well, I am going somewhere at the very
22:38 end of October. Very, very end towards
22:40 Halloween of October.
22:43 Last week, well, last couple days of
22:45 October.
22:47 But when I finally get home, I'm
22:48 thinking I'll probably be home by the
22:49 23rd or 24th, maybe the 25th, somewhere
22:52 in that little time frame.
23:01 And if that's the case, it means they'll
23:02 be home for for a solid four weeks,
23:05 which is really nice.
23:08 And because the Rays will not be in the
23:09 postseason, I will not be going to any
23:12 any games,
23:14 but if they were obviously in the
23:15 postseason, wherever they would play, I
23:16 would go to the away games and the home
23:18 games and all that. Nonetheless, so that
23:20 kind of clears up my October,
23:26 which would be kind of nice. Like once
23:26 the season's over, you know, in a couple
23:28 weeks, I can take a break from, you
23:31 know, always checking scores, watching
23:33 games, spending the time listening to
23:35 the games, watching the games, etc. Kind
23:38 of have a nice little break. I am in
23:40 Anaheim now.
23:42 I'm going to go to my hotel,
23:45 get some shutye, rest a little bit, and
23:47 I'll see you in the next video. Thanks
23:48 for watching.
23:50 The vlog is over.
