seeing the shadow
0:10
of my arm from the light emitting right
0:13
there here at Market square
0:14
Market Street behind me which you can
0:16
see is
0:18
a little empty at this time frame
0:21
it's about 6 a.m I'm about ready to head
0:24
out
0:31
to downtown here and make my way over to
0:31
MCO in Orlando International Airport
0:33
it's early
0:35
still very very humid
0:37
I will be departing out of Central
0:40
Florida getting out of this humidity for
0:42
a short time just about a week trip
0:44
to San Francisco flying American Air
0:48
layover in Dallas Fort Worth
0:50
and Landing early afternoon with the
0:52
time change three-hour time difference
0:55
going from Florida out to the West Coast
0:59
to San Francisco I'm inviting you
1:02
to join me
1:08
just turned 6 A.M
1:08
in fact it's about to be 601. shortly
1:12
right there
1:17
gonna take a little stroll to the
1:17
lakefront and they get on my car
1:20
head to the airport
1:23
flight departs at 8 30 a.m so I got a
1:25
little time it should be good so it
1:26
should take about 20 minutes but this
1:28
hour should be any traffic
1:30
going from here okay Orlando
1:32
International
1:52
Fountain up here is turned off at this
1:52
hour
2:12
see you soon celebration
2:12
see you soon
2:23
got to thinking
2:24
probably should get a little coffee here
2:27
I'm gonna drive to the airport
2:34
there's no one out at this hour
2:34
it's kind of interesting too the
2:35
humidity here you could see the the haze
2:37
on the window there you can see the
2:39
condensation
2:44
because it's like even at this time
2:44
frame of the day even though the sun's
2:46
not out the humidity here
2:48
is wild
2:51
I'm definitely not going to miss that
2:52
while in San Francisco it will not be
2:55
that way in the Bay Area
3:01
I got it going looks as if the Sun is
3:01
starting to rise over there
3:04
it's morning
3:06
good time of the day
3:19
according to a sign I just saw back
3:19
there all the parking areas are open
3:22
which is very good when I flew out of
3:24
here last month parking was a little bit
3:25
of a mess and all
3:29
of the parking structures were closed
3:30
off every single one of us had to park
3:32
in a dirt grass lot way off well not way
3:36
off property but far enough off property
3:38
so I'm glad I'm here early enough to get
3:40
a spot in the structure checkpoint
3:42
doesn't look too bad over here at sea or
3:45
over at a over there I got to go over to
3:48
B
4:05
so early the magic of Disney has not
4:05
even begun yet
4:07
this gift shop hasn't even opened
4:09
remember bars being on these windows
4:11
same over here at Sea World At The Gates
4:14
down here too this time also with lids
4:18
gates are down at Lids I always like
4:21
this right here this almost looks like a
4:22
real person
4:24
this is like the most lifelike
4:25
Recreation of a human think of a scene I
4:29
mean it almost looks like
4:31
I've showed this before but it's just
4:32
amazing the artists have created us here
4:36
known as The Traveler
4:45
it was made back in 1985
4:45
by Dwayne Hanson
4:47
bronze
4:49
polychromed in oil
4:51
it's media with accessories
4:58
I know that feeling I've been there
4:58
buddy my flight departs at 8 39 loads
5:02
hit or starts to board at 809. I think I
5:06
spoke too soon the other the other Gates
5:08
were pretty mellow
5:10
one through 59 Gates I'm looking for gay
5:12
53. very very lengthy now if I was a
5:17
live Raptor might be able to get through
5:19
a little bit quicker also gates are down
5:22
here too
5:24
bright and early long line to be Gates
5:27
it says estimated wait time 16 to 20
5:30
minutes it's not too bad not too bad I
5:34
also have a little Aquarium
5:36
view up there to kind of ease the wait
5:40
time there's a lot of arrivals and a lot
5:43
of Departures up on that board about
5:47
two-thirds the amount of Departures that
5:49
there are arrivals all the blue are
5:51
departures green over there on the left
5:54
the two rows for Rivals kind of hard to
5:56
see from here there's a lot all right
5:57
maybe for the checkpoint okay I'm now in
5:59
line well not in line but I'm waiting
6:01
for the gate link to arrive which is
6:02
basically the transportation device to
6:05
get you over to the gates
6:08
I don't think there's too many people
6:10
that are arriving here that are probably
6:11
purchasing this because it has been
6:14
you leave really hot in Orlando I like
6:16
to show the merchandise with them
6:19
you can also take home a living piece of
6:21
Florida here with a miniature indoor
6:23
palm tree gift shop
6:28
now the one I'm looking for is kind of
6:31
in the middle right up there I am on
6:34
flight number 2873 departs at 839 date
6:39
for three might be hard to see it
6:41
because there's just like you know a few
6:42
hundred over here but yeah it's right
6:43
there it's on time got the sun
6:45
glistening
6:46
over there is now
6:53
completely up in the sky well not
6:53
completely but
7:05
kind of tough to see it over there with
7:05
the Sun
7:06
Rising but boards in 29 minutes
7:11
kind of silhouetted out with the sunrise
7:41
walking around us in other Gates this is
7:41
gate 54.
7:43
like we're loading out of some food on
7:45
there another airline
7:47
just landed over there still a little
7:50
time before boarding I'm noticing over
7:52
here at the magazine section take a look
7:54
at this there's a whole magazine here
7:55
for a history of Walt Disney real
7:57
stories and then also up here
8:00
you got the 1978 Superman one of my
8:02
favorite movies ever and I finished off
8:05
the coffee and for the flight I ended up
8:07
getting this
8:08
sport water got Electro electrolytes in
8:10
it extra
8:12
electrolytes in it and that is in fact
8:14
my plan I saw that when I was walking in
8:16
but that is that is gate 53 right there
8:19
a few minutes away I'm gonna be sitting
8:21
and see five F on the first flight and I
8:25
think 5A on the second flight
8:29
five
8:38
thank you
8:38
Dallas Fort Worth we pushing back very
8:42
shortly once we get airborne this
8:43
morning two hours 12 minutes
8:46
we're climbing up to uh
8:48
it should be a pretty nice ride this
8:51
morning right now in Dallas light winds
8:53
scattered clouds
9:58
it's pretty wild seeing the plane shadow
9:58
get farther and farther away
10:25
the birth Guardians
11:32
the Hollywood Tower there
11:32
energy
12:07
do serve breakfast on the flight
12:07
but I opted not to eat I usually don't
12:09
eat breakfast too often
12:12
more with the coffee but they do serve
12:13
breakfast in the in the front of the
12:16
plane first class but more more caffeine
12:20
is good
12:21
always room for more caffeine in the
12:24
mornings
12:46
immigration
12:46
glad you joined us today I'm talking
12:48
about the right go back to see us
12:50
tonight
12:55
approaching while flying over the Dallas
12:55
Fort Worth area
14:19
time you may not use any cellular
14:19
Services as we make our way to the gates
14:22
when you open the overhead compartments
14:24
please use caution as items may have
14:25
shifted in place on behalf of American
14:27
Airlines in this boston-based clue we'd
14:30
like to be the first to welcome you and
14:32
thank you for following with us today
14:35
all right on to the next flight now how
14:38
to make my way over to c37
14:42
catch my next flight from boards in
14:44
about an hour just about an hour first
14:46
of board so it probably takes off in
14:48
about an hour and a half
14:51
it's pretty wild
14:53
in order to get in the store you have to
14:56
put your card in right here you can't
14:57
even get in unless you submit your card
15:00
and then there's no cashiers there is a
15:02
worker over there stocking the shells
15:05
but you put your card in and you go and
15:07
get the items that you need
15:09
and then you walk out
15:11
there's a Don't Mess with Texas shirt
15:13
over there I've never seen anything
15:15
quite like this you can't enter
15:17
until you put the
15:19
Cardiff how does this work so it's right
15:23
here how does this work the traveler
15:25
store Quick Stop insert or tap the card
15:28
to enter I guess if you have cash or if
15:31
you can't buy anything walk in
15:34
shop and then exit
15:37
there's no waiting just like that
15:47
all the Don't Mess with Texas mugs
15:47
so fun fact about the Don't Mess with
15:49
Texas that started as a littering
15:51
campaign
15:53
that's what it means there's other
15:54
people have developed other implications
15:56
for it but it's only for littering yeah
15:58
I still got a little time I didn't have
15:59
to even take any sort of Transportation
16:01
up above there's a
16:03
monorail type Transportation device to
16:05
get there on that device but
16:06
transportation vehicle to get you around
16:08
the airport but I just walked over to
16:10
mine the gates weren't too far away this
16:12
is not this is not going to be my plane
16:14
this is like two gates away from where
16:15
my plane is but I'm just sitting over
16:17
here looking out the window seeing that
16:19
bird fly by technically it's the sky
16:22
link and I was doing a quick little
16:25
research online is the world's largest
16:27
at least when it opened back in 2005 the
16:30
world's largest people mover system in
16:33
an airport
16:40
self-automated
16:40
which I am taking that to mean there are
16:43
there's not like a pilot on it or a
16:45
captain or a driver or anything like
16:47
that
16:48
in fact there's really no reason for me
16:50
to be going up here because I already
16:53
walked to my gate but
16:55
I believe I've taken this before I've
16:56
flown in and out of this airport before
17:00
it was definitely out now
17:06
the sky like
17:06
like all the different names all the
17:08
airports have for the transportation
17:10
vehicles
17:11
oh yeah I'll take it this many times
17:14
this is like a pretty big layover hub
17:23
how often the distance is the control
17:23
tower wherever you can see the control
17:25
tower off in the distance
17:27
oh plane's taking off
17:30
got a Dallas Fort Worth
17:33
there it goes you can see it going by
17:35
there there's the sky link a little
17:37
orange
17:42
they're all painted orange there you go
17:42
you see it driving by right there has
17:45
DFW on the front for Dallas Fort Worth
17:54
very cool cowboy store here
17:54
just kind of walking around usually all
17:57
tried to sit when I'm waiting for a
18:00
plane to take off or even during a
18:01
layover just because I'm sitting so long
18:04
on a plane I just like to always kind of
18:06
keep moving
18:08
so very rarely will I sit and wait
18:11
for planes gets ready to board
18:14
because sometimes when you do
18:16
cross-country flights if you're on a
18:18
plane all day so
18:19
stretch the take every opportunity to
18:22
stretch the legs
18:24
good morning
18:26
the name of this place is Emmett Smith
18:29
Sports
18:33
121
18:33
oh yeah I've definitely been at these
18:36
Gates before because I recall this neon
18:39
Eagle here the American Airlines eagle
18:43
which is not illuminated I believe at
18:46
one time it probably did light up but
18:47
right now
18:48
hot lit up neon probably doesn't work
18:52
it's right here next to C20
19:07
quite the congregation of American
19:07
Airline
19:09
Airline planes down there
19:24
kind of tough to see if this window it
19:24
has like a layer of tent and dirt on it
19:45
I gotta be honest I don't know if I've
19:45
ever seen a 7-Eleven in an airport
19:47
before there's a full 7-Eleven
19:50
in the airport walkway I don't think
19:53
I've ever seen it before
20:05
the corporation with stowing your bags
20:06
if you have brought on two pieces of
20:07
lunch
20:26
these are the expanded these are the
20:26
larger expanded overhead bins they will
20:29
fit your rollerboards wheels wheels
20:31
first and then please turn them on to
20:33
side and do not lay them flask out as
20:36
your safety is most important to us in a
20:38
few minutes if you please search your
20:39
attention to the flight attendants in
20:41
the aisle for an important safety
20:43
message the attention please
21:27
very bumpy Runway
21:27
Harry bumpy Runway
22:24
okay fairly smooth ride we're gonna go
22:24
ahead and turn the seat belt sign off
22:35
unless you do need to get up
22:35
you can still remains we do ask that you
22:38
do remain seated
22:42
we will be landing in about 20 25
22:44
minutes to the gate certainly thereafter
22:47
when I get a choice in their travel I
22:49
sure do appreciate the shooting American
22:50
Airlines
23:02
almost there probably about 15 more
23:02
minutes
23:11
it's going underneath the cloud was
23:13
above the cloud just went through the
23:15
cloud and make
23:34
it makes kind of unusual coloration of
23:34
the water down there almost looks like a
23:37
painting
23:47
I'm missing this is a old rail Old
23:47
Railway there with the Railway Bridge
23:51
just like turns so evident
23:58
evidence it goes over the water is like
23:58
turned the opposite way
24:05
oh yeah
24:05
if you follow it all the way out it just
24:07
depends in the water
24:21
that is not regular ground and it's like
24:21
a coloration
24:24
of the water
24:39
and I was trying to recall and think if
24:39
I've ever flown into San Francisco
24:41
before now I've been to San Francisco
24:44
before
24:46
and I've been to Oakland before I did
24:48
fly into the Oakland Airport if I
24:50
remember correct
24:55
but most the time I'll come up here I
24:55
would drive up from SoCal
24:57
but there was a time or two or at least
24:59
once
25:01
that I went to Oakland I believe I flew
25:03
into Oakland I'll know when I see the
25:05
airport if I've been to it before
25:08
because there is an airport in Oakland
25:10
and then there is SFO which is the one
25:12
I'm about to land out
25:15
in San Francisco Airport
25:35
and also side note the last couple times
25:35
I've been to the Bay Area I didn't go to
25:37
San Francisco only over to Berkeley and
25:40
Oakland on the opposite side of the Bay
25:44
last time I was in San Francisco proper
25:48
was in
25:49
2021. so it's been a couple years I'm
25:52
excited to be back in to be back in
25:54
there
25:56
for about a week give or take a dug
26:28
into here before because this does kind
26:28
of look maybe I did fly into San
26:29
Francisco and not opened
26:32
either way
26:33
I'm back in the Bay Area
27:03
well that was another really abrupt stop
27:03
there like a heavy on the brake must be
27:06
a short Runway
27:08
good afternoon and welcome to San
27:10
Francisco it is 1 58 P.M
27:14
please remain seated keep your seatbelts
27:16
fastened and please get the aisle clear
27:18
on all of your items yeah and so we are
27:20
particularly don't be fooled by that it
27:23
is really 5 p.m
27:26
it's been a pretty long day of traveling
27:29
person losing the three hours
27:37
tend to shift it during flight and on
27:37
Landing
27:38
ladies and Gentlemen please do take that
27:40
extra minute check around your seat
27:42
check this
27:44
sure that you have all items that you're
27:45
taking with you before leaving the
27:47
aircraft again please do take that extra
27:50
minute
27:51
and make sure that you have all of your
27:53
personal items with you
27:55
want you to clean you will not be able
27:57
to reboard to retrieve any items left on
27:59
that will just further delay you onto
28:00
your final destinations so again I
28:03
stress please take the extra minute
28:04
there will be an American Airlines
28:06
representative meeting the flight for
28:08
those of you that do have questions with
28:10
regards to baggage claim and flight
28:11
connections here in San Francisco
28:18
behalf of the entire crew American
28:19
fortuners again we thank you for
28:21
choosing this report of your journey
28:22
today and we do appreciate your business
28:25
everyone please arrive at your final
28:26
destination
28:30
again thank you for playing with us
28:30
you're an American Airlines Alliance
28:35
I can already feel a difference in the
28:38
weather and I'm just on the little
28:40
platform that goes from the airport to
28:42
the plane it feels dramatically cooler
28:46
just sitting here I look at the decor
28:49
they're dangling from the roof
28:57
what the heck is the coffee maker this
28:57
is
28:58
custom favorites cookies
29:00
look at this look it's like a robot
29:03
thing here it's waving at me it's called
29:05
Cafe X so evidently there is cookies and
29:08
all these different lattes and stuff a
29:11
banana cold brew
29:18
walking at twice the speed
29:18
just because this is moving and I'm
29:20
walking forward as well
29:28
yeah I don't think I think I flew into
29:28
Oakland before this is the weather in
29:31
San Francisco for the next week or so
29:35
well it's a 10-day forecast I'm not
29:36
gonna be here for 10 days but let's just
29:38
say a week give or take a day
29:41
this it's not going to get over 68
29:43
degrees after today
29:46
high of 68 or 69 is the highest
29:50
out of the blistering
29:52
hades-like conditions that Florida is
29:55
getting right now sign me up Florida
29:57
right now is absolutely
30:00
miserable oh it's good to be here now a
30:02
lot of people have their
30:04
favorite San Francisco songs that they
30:06
listen to when they're coming into the
30:08
bay area for me it's Goldfinger the city
30:11
and rancid East Bay night
30:15
and I am also not going to be renting a
30:17
car here
30:18
in Cisco
30:20
just easier to do public transit just
30:23
going to be taking the BART possibly
30:25
ride shares taxis
30:28
trolleys street cars
30:32
no rental cars probably a good thing to
30:36
not have a car I learned before when I
30:39
came out here the last time to San
30:42
Francisco proper in the city two years
30:44
ago also San Francisco is referred to as
30:47
the city I learned that a couple years
30:50
ago too
30:54
I parked the car I drove my car up from
30:54
SoCal and when I was here I left it I
30:57
was here for a week give or take then
31:00
and I never even moved the car from the
31:02
parking garage so I learned my lesson
31:04
just fly in take public transit don't
31:07
bring a car I mean obviously if you're
31:09
going on the outskirts of town and
31:11
you're gonna go away from the city you
31:14
could rent a car but I'm staying all in
31:17
a certain area
31:22
no rental car
31:22
which is weird for me because I always
31:25
have a rental car at that point I went
31:27
to New York I went to New York recently
31:28
I didn't have a rental car there either
31:30
it doesn't make much sense there right
31:31
and also thieves cannot break into a
31:35
rental car or personal vehicle that you
31:38
do not have on you
31:50
photo op right here it's like a Skyline
31:50
take a look at that
31:53
you thought I was really
31:55
at the skyline didn't you no still in
31:57
the airport
31:59
bart trains that's what I'm looking for
32:05
love all the different names of all the
32:05
trains and transportation systems in
32:08
different areas
32:10
the BART
32:13
it's a little Mosaic here in tile
32:18
always on escalators be interesting to
32:22
know how much time I spend on escalators
32:24
and sitting in Planes
32:29
probably spend more time sitting in a
32:31
plane than doing escalators but I spent
32:32
a lot of time on escalators too
32:34
just escalators everywhere now I always
32:37
think of Mall Rats San Francisco Ballet
32:41
exhibit the clothing right here this
32:45
display case
32:47
the big airplane I look over there those
32:50
big Windows
33:06
yeah this is where the Bard is this is
33:06
this is a this is a hike and always got
33:09
to show the merch at the little shops
33:11
here
33:11
California
33:14
the Golden City San Francisco Waits
33:19
good stuff
33:20
sourdough bread
33:23
Golden Gate
33:29
I'm ready to see some sights
33:29
not today but aerial view of the
33:32
Embarcadero right there
33:35
it's moving slower than I thought
