Leaving Florida For A Bit
Transcript
0:03
Welcome everyone. Adam the Woo here. As
0:03
the recording of this is Tuesday,
0:05
October 21st,
0:07
2025,
0:09
I will be departing my homestead here in
0:10
Celebration, Florida. We'll be heading
0:12
to MCO, Orlando International Airport,
0:14
where I am not going to an international
0:17
country until next month in November.
0:20
But for now, hopping on a plane, going
0:22
to the West Coast, going to Los Angeles.
0:25
Originally, I was going to end up flying
0:28
out there this weekend, but change of
0:31
plans. Decided to head out that
0:34
direction a little bit early. Going to
0:36
be meeting up with a conglomerate group
0:38
of friends that are all congregating
0:42
into SoCal over the next series of days.
0:45
So, I'll be meeting up with a lot of
0:46
friends as the next few days goes on.
0:50
Really looking forward to it. Gonna say
0:52
goodbye to the Florida heat. It has not
0:54
been as hot as it was earlier in the
0:57
summer, but I can guarantee LA is
0:59
probably going to have a little cooler
1:00
temperatures, which I am ready for. I'm
1:03
inviting you to join me. Let's have a
1:04
flight day, shall you? Got my bags all
1:08
packed up, ready to go. Bringing an
1:09
additional piece, a tube here that I
1:12
will be carrying around with me on the
1:14
plane. Probably take it on, probably
1:16
have it right next to my seat or above
1:18
my head. But I got my usual
1:21
little backpack there and my rolling
1:24
suitcase.
1:26
Off to SoCal again. Current temperature
1:28
at the moment at home in Celebration,
1:30
Florida, 86°.
1:33
A little later, it's going to get up to
1:35
88°.
1:43
That's kind of an interesting tiein. But
1:43
LA
1:45
only getting up to 78 today and then it
1:48
goes down from there. So 10° cooler
1:53
in the greater Los Angeles area. I am
1:56
all about it. And forecast for the next
1:58
series of days. Very nice. High of 72,
2:03
high of 75, high of 81. I will take it.
2:05
Bring it. All right. Just got dropped
2:07
off.
2:09
Took an Uber.
2:15
Quick and easy.
2:15
Going to start heading in.
2:23
next couple months I got a lot of
2:23
flights.
2:24
>> Next year trying I'm going to try to not
2:28
really fly anywhere unless there is a is
2:31
a one-way flight to get a car and then
2:34
drive a certain route or series of roads
2:37
andor highways
2:40
from point A to point B. For example,
2:43
when I do Route 66 next year, I'll fly
2:45
to Chicago, rent a car or a van or
2:48
something of that nature and go to Santa
2:50
Monica. Also,
2:53
I'm going to taper back on flights to
2:55
LA. Try not to really do any. And if I
2:58
do any, it'll be few and far between
3:00
next year.
3:02
I will be going through LA simply to,
3:06
you know, Route 66
3:08
ends at Santa Monica Pier. So, obviously
3:10
I'll be in LA for that, but I try to
3:12
taper back on LA even though I know I'm
3:15
going to LA now, but 2026 I'm referring
3:17
to. And obviously, if I do US1 from
3:21
Seattle, Oregon down to
3:25
LA and Santa Monica and all that, what
3:28
do they call that? PCH Pacific Coast
3:30
Highway. It's not US1. US1 would go from
3:33
uh would go from Key West up to Maine.
3:37
So US1 is not to be confused with
3:39
California one which also goes up and
3:41
dips in or at least veers off and stays
3:44
along the coastline
3:50
up into Washington and Oregon etc. So
3:50
with those I obviously would not drive
3:52
completely cross country in a car to get
3:55
to the to get to point. So, in those I'd
3:56
be getting on a plane, but I'm going to
3:58
try not to do any any international next
4:00
year and really try not to do any like
4:03
MCO to LAX next year. I mean, time will
4:06
tell, but that's my thought process
4:08
anyway. Okay, I am looking for LA. I
4:12
believe I am the 440. Yeah, right there.
4:15
440. My favorite word. Look at this. All
4:17
All the flights except one. The one to
4:20
Nashville is delayed. That's the red one
4:23
right up there. But everything else is
4:25
green. It looks like it's going to be a
4:26
good flight day. Mine is at departing at
4:29
440. Gate 73. 440. Gate 73.
4:34
I like those words. On time. Oh
4:37
goodness.
4:42
See if the other side's a little
4:42
shorter.
4:53
And next year, 2026,
4:53
is going to be the year of America for
4:55
me. The 250th anniversary
4:59
of the US and the 100th anniversary of
5:02
Route 66.
5:05
And I'm going to throw in some other
5:06
highways, byways, back roads, small
5:08
towns. It's going to be a lot of road
5:11
trips next year. I'm excited about
5:12
getting off of planes and getting into
5:14
cars and going back
5:18
kind of what I used to do 3 or 4 years
5:20
ago. I put it off for a few years, but
5:22
yeah, 2026. I've said it before, but I
5:25
just want to drive that point home. Next
5:27
year is the year of road trips and
5:28
places
5:30
that are a little bit different than I
5:31
would have been doing. 873. There's two
5:33
sides. You can go through this side or
5:35
this side. I just passed by, but they
5:37
all lead to the same spot. 873. I think
5:40
I made the right decision taking the
5:42
side I took. I passed by the fountain,
5:45
went away over to the other side next to
5:48
pre-check. There were three pre-check
5:49
lines and two non-recheck lines. I do
5:52
not have pre-check yet. I haven't really
5:53
had any major issues with not having
5:56
global entry or precheck. Been pretty
5:58
pretty lucky this year with getting
6:00
through pretty quickly and that was no
6:02
exception. I think I waited maybe a
6:03
total of 5 or 10 minutes tops even
6:05
getting through the line. I think if I
6:07
had gone to the other side, it would
6:09
have taken longer than that. So, I think
6:11
from now on, I'm probably going to go to
6:13
that side. All right, looking for gate
6:15
73.
6:18
Waiting for the what do they call it?
6:19
The gate link. I think they call it the
6:20
gate link to arrive. Look at this little
6:24
It's like a little stop piece right
6:26
here.
6:35
Oh, one's arriving over here.
6:35
One of the two. This one does not open
6:37
all the doors though. For some reason,
6:39
they only have a few doors you can go
6:41
in. See, they even have
6:44
says national international arrivals
6:47
only. So, I might have to take the other
6:48
gate link other side as shown here.
6:59
>> Oh, the air conditioner is kicking in
6:59
here. Feels good. I'm right underneath
7:00
the vent.
7:07
I
7:07
>> think I was home for about 3 weeks. A
7:10
little over 3 weeks. Let's call it 3
7:12
weeks I was home this last 10 year.
7:14
That's pretty good. That's a long time
7:15
for me. That's a Being being home three
7:17
for me is an eternity. Gate link was as
7:21
efficient as always. Gate 73. I have
7:24
about an hour. I have 54 minutes until I
7:26
board. Boarding is at 4:00. It's 3:07
7:29
right now. So, I am going to go up to
7:32
the lounge and get a cup of Joe. My
7:35
flight takes off at 4:40. Boarding is at
7:37
400 p.m. And obviously getting over to
7:39
LA, I will lose 3 or gain 3 hours. I
7:44
think the flight lands at like 7:00 p.m.
7:46
10:00 p.m. Florida time. Also, side
7:48
note, this is the shortest I've seen the
7:50
Starbucks line here next to the Delta
7:52
Gates ever. Usually, it's like really
7:54
lengthy.
7:56
It's pretty chill.
7:58
Sky Lounge is right next to it. I think
8:00
I'll just go up there and get a coffee
8:02
instead of buying one from Starbucks.
8:12
It's a flight day. It's a travel day.
8:19
I always love the carpet in here. I like
8:19
the MCO carpet. It's very retro.
8:23
I always like seeing all the different
8:24
times here in Tokyo.
8:28
St. Paul
8:30
currently Orlando. Oh, that is uh that's
8:34
not right.
8:36
>> That is not the correct time. Paris
8:40
and LA.
8:45
>> Let's see. Is LA correct time? It says
8:46
it's 12:10. Yep, that's correct. It is
8:48
now 3:10 or 3:09. So, they got the LA
8:51
time correct, but Orlando in here is a
8:54
little uh little offkilter.
8:57
But that's what time it is in LA.
8:59
>> 10:00. I land at 7:00. So it'll be 7
9:02
hours from now I'll be landing in LA.
9:05
10:00 Florida time. 7:00 LA time. All
9:10
right. Coffee. Coffee accomplished. Not
9:13
getting any food. Wouldn't really too
9:15
hungry at the moment. So just going with
9:17
a little caffeine. And it's a it's a 5-h
9:19
hour flight, so don't want to get too
9:21
full for getting on a getting on a
9:23
plane. probably eat when I arrive in LA.
9:26
I'm sure I'm sure I'll get some food in
9:27
LA. I'll probably make up for it when I
9:29
arrive on the West Coast. But for now,
9:32
just a piping hot caffeinated beverage.
9:33
And I got to say, this thing is is warm.
9:36
It's like heating through. It didn't
9:37
even have one of the cardboard sleeves
9:39
on it. This thing is toasty. It lives up
9:41
to its name. I love that there is a
9:43
Mickey Mouse Mickey and Minnie frame
9:47
photo in here. A frame piece of artwork
9:48
here in the lounge. and Cypress Gardens
9:50
represented
9:52
one of the first, if not the first
9:54
Florida theme park.
9:56
Florida. Yeah, Florida theme park. I
9:58
think it was the first one in Florida if
10:01
memory serves correct over in Winter
10:02
Haven. Almost looks as if they're
10:05
building a another section of the gates
10:07
over here. That's going to be a enclosed
10:11
walk up walk down into something. It's
10:13
right along the Gate Link Montreal
10:15
system. You can see it. kind of see the
10:17
hazy haziness to suit through the window
10:20
there. You see the Montreal going by.
10:28
So that'll come along. It's coming along
10:28
quick. Oh, double double Montreal.
10:30
Double gate like
10:37
I board in 18 minutes. I'm out of the
10:37
lounge.
10:39
>> Yeah, that's it. Gate 73.
10:48
She was like, she has so she's like, "Do
10:48
you know what?
10:49
>> This is a Challenger 280 down here."
10:53
>> Push back vehicle.
10:54
>> And she's like, "I'm not telling you."
10:56
>> They're loading the meals. Sky Chefs
11:04
off to the west coast.
11:04
Yeah, 3 weeks is a pretty good amount of
11:06
time to stay home.
11:08
And now I'm off for a little while, but
11:11
I'll be back. Oh, fancy meeting Robbie
11:14
Retro here.
11:14
>> What are you doing here, man?
11:16
>> You know why we're here.
11:18
>> When's the last time you went to
11:19
California?
11:20
>> California? I was there last year of San
11:21
Diego.
11:22
>> But you weren't in LA.
11:24
>> No.
11:25
>> When was the last time you were in LA?
11:26
>> Oh, been a while. But they love me in
11:28
LA. They love me in Beverly Hills.
11:30
>> Are we going to have a
11:32
>> Are we going to have a Goonies 2.0
11:34
coming up?
11:35
>> The adventure continues. Now, we had a
11:36
mild Goonies reunion recently with Cory
11:39
Feldman and Paulie Shore.
11:40
>> That's true. That's true. And also
11:43
>> Molly was edged. [laughter]
11:46
>> We kind of had one, but you weren't able
11:47
to make it. We had a PeeWee's Big
11:49
Adventure reunion at Warner Brothers.
11:51
So, we've had a couple
11:52
>> Yeah. mini side adventures.
11:54
>> Side ones, but this is going to be a big
11:55
one. This is going to be this is going
11:57
to be a Goonies 2.0 for 2025. No
12:00
spoilers. I'm sure everyone watching has
12:02
already figured it out, but
12:05
they don't know
12:07
how random I am I with changing my
12:10
plans.
12:11
as of Yeah. Yesterday. [laughter]
12:14
>> You're like, "You're coming out." And
12:15

12:17
flight." Now I'm here.

>> Let's go.
12:19
>> And I got the tube. What could be in
12:21

>> What could be in this tube?
12:29
>> What do you think's in that tube?
12:29
>> I don't know.

25:52
Big Boy. Nice little welcome back to
25:54
California. I've eaten at this place
25:57
50 times in my life, maybe more. And why
26:00

26:06
Grab a meal here. The light's not lit
26:06

26:08
Oh, I can already smell the I can

>> Double deck hamburger.

>> Double deck. Okay.
26:26
>> I always get the chili spaghetti.
26:28
>> But the burger is okay. The burger is
26:29
good, too.
26:30
>> What's the chili spaghetti? Hamburger?
26:31
>> No, it's spaghetti instead of like
26:33
spaghetti sauce. It has chili on. It's
26:36
my always go-to. I get it every single
26:38
time. And then they have like kind of
26:39
like a a thick garlic toast they give
26:42
you with it.
26:43

26:44

26:46
>> a Dodger shirt. Of course,
26:49

celebrating Jane Austin
27:18
right here in Burbank, which is kind of
27:20
cool.
27:21
It's kind of neat.
27:28
>> Jane Austin also lived in the same town
27:28
Mary Shelley lived in that wrote
27:30
Frankenstein.
27:31
>> Bath, England. I was just there. So, I
27:34
saw Jane where Jane Austin lived and I
27:37
saw where Mary Shel lived as well. So,
27:40
nice little tie in Bath, England. Well,
27:43
shout out to Bath.
27:50
Oh, this is pretty cool.
27:50
Okay.
27:53
Oh my gosh,
28:17
Now, when Gary Marshall passed away, the
28:17
theater that used to be called something
28:18
different was established in 97 was
28:22
named after him.
28:35
Any Gary Marshall stuff in there? Yeah,
28:35
there is some stuff on display.
28:38
Happy days jacket.
28:41
>> It's either a record or maybe a laser
28:43
disc.
28:44
>> Oh, that's nice. It's like the horse is
28:46
like breathing
28:48
like a little haze there. It's doing a
28:50
little vaping.
28:54
That's cool.
28:54
>> The Halloween is actually
28:57
>> very very very close. 10 days from right
29:00
now. Exactly 10 days from this moment.
29:11
Classic car alert.
29:11
I can't believe I'm in Burbank right
29:12
now.
29:19
Always a nice little welcome back to LA.
29:19
Stopping off at Bob's Big Boy. It's kind
29:21
of unplanned. I wasn't didn't think we'd
29:23
be eating at Bob's, but the group wanted
29:25
to go to Bob's. And I would never turn
29:26
down a Bob's Big Boy spaghetti.
29:30
It's not regular spaghetti sauce. This
29:31
is chili spaghetti, but I always like to
29:33
get it. It's my go-to. I would say I
29:36
don't know, nine out of 10 times that
29:38
I'm here, I always get the chili
29:39
spaghetti. Feels nice out now.
29:43
Also, on the way out, ended up seeing a
29:46
couple little figurines over by the
29:47
merchandise, which is pretty cool. And
29:48
then stepped outside and realized how
29:50
temperature is definitely dropping a
29:52
little bit. It's definitely not the
29:53
humidity that you have in Florida.
30:04
We made it to a McDonald's that has
30:04
never sold one Big Mac to any paying
30:08
customer,
30:10
but it's been open well, it's been here
30:12
for decades
30:15
and all the different over all the
30:17
different decades,
30:19
all the 1970s commercials, '8s
30:21
commercials, '9s commercials, 2000s,
30:25
2010, 2020,
30:27
current commercials all filmed for
30:30
Mickey De's right here
30:32
in this fake McDonald's.
30:40
I've been by here before, but I was
30:40
mentioning it. Everybody else wanted to
30:42
see it, too. If you ever seen the movie
30:43
Mac and Me, they filmed a scene from Mac
30:45
and Me in here. Mac and Me being the
30:48
only feature film that had the real
30:50
Ronald McDonald appear in it.
30:53
Not an imposttor. The real Ronald.
31:13
And then in the warehouse next door is
31:13
where all the props are. All the
31:15
clothing, the props, anything that's
31:16
going to go inside is in that warehouse
31:18
over there.
31:24
And obviously the building's been torn
31:24
down and reconstructed over the years,
31:27
you know, to keep up with the times, but
31:53
Got the menu board and everything in
31:53
there. Even a flag pole out front.
32:25
It's funny because it it's just an empty
32:26
McDonald's, but it actually is like kind
32:29
of like historical.
32:40
>> Dang, I'm getting like ET vibes out
32:40
here. I was thinking all these houses
32:42
remind me of ET poltergeist.
32:44
>> Very poltergeistish.
32:45
>> Like that community and like all the
32:49
>> Look at this view.
32:52
Wow.
32:55
That's awesome.
32:57
Yeah. I feel like Elliot out here and ET
32:59
is like behind the storage shed.
33:07
>> Wow.
33:07
You're kidding. This place
33:10
It's the headquarters.
33:12
>> It's HQ.
33:13
>> HQ. It's HQ.
33:16
>> HQ.
33:17
>> All right. Got to call it a night.
33:18
That's going to do it for today. Thanks
33:20
for watching. It's going to be a fun few
33:21
days out here. I'll see you in the next
33:24
video. I've arrived at the HQ, as it's
33:28
called, the headquarters for a big group
33:31
of us for the next few days. Thanks for
33:33
watching. I'm in the Los Angeles area
33:35
and I'll see you in the next video. The
33:36
vlog is over.
