Welcome everyone.

Adam the Woo here as the recording of
0:04
this Saturday, November 22nd, 2025.
0:08
I am about to depart Florida, leaving my
0:10
homestead here in Celebration, Florida,
0:12
heading to Orlando International Airport
0:14
where I have a lengthy travel day. First
0:17
going from MCO to JFK, New York City.
0:22
Little bit of a connecting flight there.
0:23
2 or threeh hour layover and then off to
0:27
Rome. I'm going to be spending some time
0:30
all around Italy, landing in Rome a
0:33
little bit later. In fact, with the time
0:36
change, I will be landing there early
0:38
tomorrow morning because they are
0:41
farther ahead than we are here in
0:43
Orlando. It's kind of early. Just
0:45
getting prepared. Got my bags all packed
0:47
up. Got to head to the airport. Need
0:50
some coffee. I'm inviting you to join
0:52
me. Let's go to Italy,
0:54
shall you?
0:56
Bag's all packed up, ready to rock. Got
0:59
my rolling suitcase and I got the
1:02
backpack right there. Certainly
1:05
certainly need some caffeine when I get
1:07
to the airport. Just kind of getting
1:10
getting moving, getting awake. Could use
1:13
some coffee. Once I get to the airport,
1:15
I'll grab some. I have arrived at the
1:17
airport. Clear skies at the moment.
1:20
Airport seems to be pretty busy.
1:23
Hopefully the
1:25
TSA is not too long of a line.
1:29
Control tower right there.
1:32
Quick 30 minutes or less. Probably 25
1:34
minute
1:36
Uber ride over from my place.
1:42
Plenty of time before I board. Plenty of
1:42
time. Looking at the tile work here of
1:44
the shuttle and the space garden down
1:47
below. It's currently 8:45.
1:51
At 11:12, I have a flight
1:54
to NYC, New York City.
2:02
There it is. Number 77.
2:02
Gate 77. My two favorite words when I
2:05
fly. On time, New York, JFK.
2:09
Looks as if it's flight 2049.
2:18
That'll be my first of the two flights.
2:18
Then a couple hours there and then JFK
2:21
turn.
2:23
Looks like the wait times for security
2:25
10 to 15 minutes. I can handle that. I
2:28
can handle that.
2:30
Actually, everything seems to be on time
2:32
except the one over to Calgary says
2:34
delight. Everything else is all green.
2:38
Oh yeah, that doesn't look bad at all
2:40
linewise. Christmas tree is up. They
2:43
have the Christmas tree up in here. Look
2:45
at this. Usually where the fountain is
2:48
all year during the holidays to put the
2:50
tree up. Since it is the holidays, the
2:53
tree is there in all its glory.
2:59
Be leaving the US today. Going
3:01
international. My ninth
3:04
international country on this trip
3:06
before I go home. If all goes well, good
3:09
lord willing and the creek don't rise.
3:11
I'll have done 10 countries this year.
3:14
I'm going to my knife today. Italy.
3:24
See you soon. USA.
3:24
Uh, the weary traveler.
3:31
Well, it's not titled the Weary Traveler
3:31
since he's slumbering.
3:33
I'm adding in the Weary. Technically,
3:34
he's just called the Traveler.
3:44
Made in 1985.
3:44
Not a real person, but it looks like a
3:47
real person, doesn't it?
3:53
I always like to show this before I get
3:54
on a plane. And when I get off a plane,
3:56
whenever I MCO, I always show this.
4:09
There's all the arrivals and all the
4:09
departures.
4:11
There's different screens. Arrivals on
4:13
this side, departures on that side.
4:24
10 to 15 well 10 to 13 minute wait time
4:24
to TSA was not accurate. That was a vast
4:30
overestimation. It took me about 3
4:33
minutes to go through 3 minutes. Gate
4:36
link approaching
4:38
mono rail. Is this on one rail? Mono
4:43
rail.
4:44
Yeah, that was super easy getting
4:46
through getting through the checkpoints.
4:50
All right, got to load the or board I
4:53
should say the gate link.
4:57
So far so good. Long travel day. Long
5:00
travel day. Very long travel day.
5:36
>> His house is paid off.
5:36
Stand clear of the doors.
5:51
>> Still got about an hour and 20 minutes
5:51
before I even board. 2 hours before I
5:54
take off. And there's a Christmas tree
5:57
over here. This section of gates.
5:59
Christmas trees everywhere. You know, I
6:02
don't really know a lot about Italy
6:05
and how they celebrate the holidays.
6:07
Curious
6:09
>> if they will have holiday how their
6:11
holiday stuff will be. I guess I'll find
6:12
out when I get there. All right. Still
6:14
on time. Still on time.
6:18
877.
6:24
11:12 a.m. departure. First of two
6:24
flights. All right. Over in the Sky
6:26
Lounge now. Got some OJ. Got some
6:29
unsweet tea.
6:31
I'm making him a beline over here for a
6:34
cup of Joe.
6:41
Little Pike's Place medium roast. And if
6:41
you want to add some sugar-free vanilla,
6:43
do that as well. Nice.
6:47
If it's available, I always look to sit
6:48
over here in this corner next to Mickey
6:51
and Minnie with the flowers. Got a seat
6:54
right here. It's actually not too busy
6:55
in the lounge right now, surprisingly.
6:57
And I just noticed this is a
7:00
solo traveler lid,
7:04
which is appropriate because I'm flying
7:05
solo and I'm a traveler.
7:08
And that's a lid.
7:10
I also love the fact that there is a
7:13
Cypress Gardens poster right over there
7:15
in the corner. Shout out to Winter
7:18
Haven.
7:23
All right. Still my two favorite words
7:23
when traveling.
7:26
Well,
7:27
>> new new two favorite words at gate.
7:34
>> Boarding soon.
7:34
>> Let's check the world clocks up here.
7:36
>> Have a wonderful day, sir.
7:38
>> Thank you.
7:41
>> A couple of them are working correctly.
7:42
Like Tokyo does not appear to be in
7:45
sync.
7:47
Uh
7:49
I don't even know if that's the correct
7:50
Orlando time. Nope. It's 10:00 a.m.
7:53
right now on the dock.
8:00
None of these are correct.
8:00
>> Not one of them.
8:02
>> The only one would be No, LA would be 7
8:06
a.m. in LA, right? Yeah, it would be
8:07
7:00 a.m. in LA if it's 10:00 a.m. here.
8:11
>> Paris might be correct. Orlando
8:14
definitely not correct. Tokyo a few
8:17
minutes off. and sala.
8:32
Don't go by these. They're not right.
8:32
Heading down. Always love the MCO
8:34
carpet.
8:43
Start making my way over to the gate.
8:43
Lot of time in the air today. A lot of
8:45
time in the air.
8:47
First of two flights starting now. Take
8:49
a look at this Christmas tree before
8:51
heading over.
8:54
Not quite as tall as the one by TSA, but
9:01
still
9:01
nice and illuminated nonetheless.
9:04
It's a big tree. Not discounting the
9:07
size of this tree, but I think the other
9:08
one might be a little bigger. The one
9:09
that overtook the fountain in the main
9:12
hub.
9:17
The plane is at the gate. They're
9:17
already starting to load some luggage on
9:18
there. Current temperature at 10:20.
9:20
Boarding in about 10 minutes. 77° over
9:24
in Celebration where place is.
9:27
>> Let's see what it's going to be like in
9:29
Rome. I'm going to be in Italy for the
9:32
next week to 10 days, give or take a
9:33
day.
9:35
Somewhere in that general vicinity of
9:36
time, not just specifically Rome, but
9:39
Rome for the next few days. And then
9:41
I'll be venturing off into other parts
9:42
of Italy. And here is
9:45
the 10day forecast for Rome.
9:49
>> Good morning passengers travel to flight
9:52
2049 to JFK out 77. My name is Rene. I'm
9:56
going to be working alongside your agent
9:58
and our cooler in Rome than it is here.
10:01
>> All right. On this flight, I'm sitting
10:03
in seat 5D, window seat 5D.
10:07
Next flight, not in 5D. Different setup
10:10
on the next flight. This flight's like 2
10:12
hours and 15 minutes. two 2 and 1/2
10:14
hours. Next flight's like 8 and 1/2
10:16
hours. And then you got the 2 or 3 hour
10:18
little connection
10:20
connecting layover at JMK.
12:28
in front of us. Um, and as a result of
12:28
that, I'm asking the flight attendants
12:30
to also take their seats here just a
12:32
little bit cuz they want to worried
12:34
about their safeties as well as your
12:40
bombs.
12:40
Pure conditions in New York, we're about
12:43
about 40 minutes away from landing.
12:46
Winds are out of the northeast about 8
12:48
milesPH, 10 miles of visibility. Few
12:50
scattered clouds in the area, overcast
12:52
skies. The temperature right now of 50°.
12:55
Gal arrival today is B is in boy 53. B
12:59
is boy 53.
13:02
So we appreciate you flying with us
13:04
today. This time I'd like to ask the
13:06
flight attention please.
17:19
Like there's only one flight going from
17:19
Delta
17:21
over to Rome, Italy.
17:23
Even just saying that out loud kind of
17:24
makes gets me so so excited. 455
17:27
departure
17:29
on time. B38
17:32
third one down right there. B38
17:35
455
17:37
Delta 182
17:46
I want to be a part of it. New York. New
17:46
York. At least for a couple hours. Two
17:47
hours till my plane boards. Wonder what
17:51
the reasoning is for having the moving
17:53
walkways elevated through here.
18:00
Also, I believe there's a Delta 1
18:00
lounge. I've never been in a Delta 1
18:02
lounge, but since I am going Delta 1, my
18:05
next destination should use the lounge.
18:08
Another piece of artwork right here.
18:10
There's some caution taper. I don't know
18:11
if the caution tape is part of the
18:13
artwork.
18:14
The caution tape is there because the
18:16
glass is broken. It's definitely a
18:18
little bit of a walk over to this
18:19
lounge. However, still 2 hours before I
18:22
board, so plenty of time. All right, I
18:23
found it. It's on the second floor
18:26
right there. Delta Lounge. I could have
18:29
taken the elevator,
18:32
but I opted to walk up these stairs.
18:35
Let's go.
18:37
This is exciting. Know what the
18:38
difference between a regular
18:40
Delta lounges and the Delta 1 lounges.
18:50
Probably pretty fancy.
18:50
All I need is some more coffee and I'm
18:52
good.
18:54
All right,
18:55
going in. They I'm sure they're going to
18:57
check my credentials. They have like a
18:59
whole market in here. Check out all the
19:01
different treats, the parfets,
19:03
the fruits,
19:05
berry tart, hummus, and veggies. You got
19:09
a little cheese plate, shakurerie plate.
19:12
Look at this. Oh, look at this over
19:13
here. Smashed avocado, avocado toast,
19:17
even a taco plate. Look at that taco
19:20
plate, pizza,
19:22
Brussels sprouts, pasta.
19:25
Oh my goodness. But I am getting a latte
19:30
right here.
19:32
Right in front of my face.
19:34
They have these down here which are
19:35
very, very fancy, but I'm going with a
19:37
traditional paper coffee cup. All right,
19:40
I'm boarding. I'm sitting in seat 8A.
19:44
That is not my plane. This
19:48
is my plane again. I'm sitting in seat
19:51
8A.
20:17
All right, there's my seat 8.
20:17
Not in the middle,
20:19
>> but over on the side next to the window.
20:22
Got my little section, a little cubby
20:24
hole over here for the whole flight.
20:25
Yeah, when you're doing an 8 hour
20:27
flight, it's nice to have a little a
20:29
little leg room, a little elbow room for
20:32
8 and 1/2 hours. And I will be on a A
20:35
330-900.
20:37
Also comes with this little package full
20:40
of goodies here. You can see what's
20:42
inside here. You got you got some uh
20:45
little things to cover your eyes. Got
20:47
some socks. Got some earplugs.
22:26
Right.
22:26
And Heat.
24:05
for children's meals, you have two
24:05
choices. Take it or leave.
24:12
one time.
24:12
>> Okay.
24:13
Yeah.
25:09
say it were but it wasn't switching
25:09
down to me. last
26:03
a little turbulence here with the soup,
26:03
salad,
26:05
piece of bread,
26:07
and whatever this is.
26:10
Look at this little turbulence here with
26:13
the water.
26:20
Oh, is that tuna?
26:20
>> Can't tell what that is.
26:50
Now for dessert, there's a few options.
26:50
Ice cream, a little cake, or little
26:53
cheese and fruit platter with the cheese
26:55
and fruit platter.
27:13
>> I think I slept maybe an hour,
27:13
possibly 2 hours.
27:24
Not 100% sure.
27:24
The flight tracker is not working.
27:27
>> Longd distance international travel is
27:29
interesting.
27:31
Because not only was it an 8 hour flight
27:33
stuck on the plane, but also 6h hour
27:37
time difference.
27:40
So you get the 8 hours plus 6 hours.
27:49
6 hours ahead of Orlando,
27:49
which means I'm getting the sunrising in
27:51
Italy right now.
28:26
>> I'm looking for that I just put on
28:26
location Francisco.
29:15
Can't believe I'm here.
29:15
All roads lead to Rome. Is that the
29:17
saying?
29:19
I'm probably going to have a lot of win
29:21
in Rome moments
29:23
while in Italy.
29:28
I always use that phrase and now I'm
29:28
actually going to be in Rome so I can
29:32
have those moments when I'm in row.
29:35
>> Welcome to Rome where the local time is
29:36
6:32 a.m. Please stay seated with your
29:39
seat belt fastened and carry on items
29:40
stowed. Tell the captain turn off the
29:42
seat belt sign. Be careful when opening
29:44
overhead.
32:03
Passenger Michelle of Queen. Michelle of
32:03
Queen.
32:15
I ended up booking a hotel last night. I
32:15
wouldn't have to like wait around till 2
32:16
or 3 to check into a hotel. I went ahead
32:18
and booked it last night. So, by the
32:20
time I get over there this morning, the
32:22
hotel that I booked last night will be
32:24
ready to check in.
32:26
Super easy. Probably about 10 minute
32:29
wait or so. Another stamp on my
32:31
passport.
32:33
Heck yeah. Another country. Let's do
32:35
this. All right. Went to the ATM. use my
32:37
regular bank card. Got out 500 euro,
32:41
which I believe is like€ 650
32:44
US.
32:46
So, I got some euro to use while I'm
32:48
over here.
33:05
Oh, it feels good. Oh, it feels good out
33:05
here.
33:06
Crisp.
33:19
All right, I'm officially in row. Going
33:19
to get some sleep. I didn't sleep a lot
33:21
on the plane. Maybe an hour on the
33:22
plane.
33:24
Thanks for watching. I'll see you in the
33:26
next video. I'm in Italy. I'm excited.
33:31
next video. The vlog is over.
