Ready for Boarding
November 6, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 66 °F
Every trip that we take actually begins the night before. We fist need to drop off Pixel at his vet to be boarded until we get home. They must treat him very well because he never seems to mind goingRead more
Sharing

Since this is going to be a short trip, we’re sharing a single suitcase. Unlike some people we know, we prefer to always travel very light. It’s just a lot easier.
An Early Start
November 7, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F
We’ve got to catch a very early flight so we’re leaving in what feels like the middle of the night. I hardly slept so I’m feeling so tired. I’m hoping that I can sleep a bit on the plane.
Driving
November 7, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 64 °F
I’m glad that I don’t have to do the driving because I’m so sleepy. Going into the shower woke me up quickly but I’m starting to feel drowsy again.
To the Airport
November 7, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 64 °F
The roads seem almost surrealistic at this hour. The colors seems much more vivid and the darks and lights are more extreme. This is a great time for photography!
Arrival at Departures
November 7, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 64 °F
Without any traffic to contend with, we arrived at the airport much faster than we expected. We should get through the TSA checkpoints with time to spare.
At JFK
November 7, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 64 °F
Airports seem to be run very inefficiently and designed to make the hinge as inconvenient as possible for the passengers. I love going to airports and flying to new places but I usually don’t likeRead more
Checking In
November 7, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 64 °F
I’m glad that we got here early because the airport was a lot more crowded than we had expected it to be. So many people are on the line to check in. We planned ahead and did the online check inRead more
TSA Lines
November 7, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 64 °F
Although we saved time by not checking in, we lost a lot of time waiting on that pesky TSA line. We were shocked at how crowded the airport was at this hour of the morning. Why are so many peopleRead more
Our Plane
November 7, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 64 °F
The plane we’ll be riding is already at the gate waiting for us. We should start boarding in about half an hour so at least we don’t have too much longer to wait.
Undercover Raphael

With nothing left for us to do but wait, I decided to do a quick bit of toy photography. The airport is really a great location to get photos. It’s too bad that they are so strict about lettingRead more
Crowded
November 7, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 64 °F
We think we’ve figured out why it’s so crowded in the airport despite it being so early. The New York City Marathon was held yesterday and we’re guessing that most of these people are runnersRead more
On Time
November 7, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F
I don’t see any delays on the board so it looks as if we’ll be leaving right on time. It’s good to see the airline industry becoming more efficient. For a while, so many flights were beingRead more
Ready to Go

Groot is ready to leave and has been sitting so patiently at the gate. He’s always so well behaved and a real pleasure to travel with!
Boarding Pass
November 7, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F
We’ve got our boarding passes so we’re all ready to go. We’re just waiting until they start allowing people into the plane. I hope it won’t be much longer.
Boarding
November 7, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F
JetBlue is finally allowing people to board the plane. I don’t know why they turn the simple act of getting on a plane into such a convoluted and time consuming process. It’s such a waste of time!
The Jetway

Finally, it’s our turn to board the plane. We’re in group C but we went up when they announced boarding for group B. We wanted to make sure that we had enough room in the overhead bin for our bag.Read more
Masked Up
November 7, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F
As we settle into our seats, I’m noticing that very few people are wearing masks on this flight. Yes, they are annoying and uncomfortable but we’re being very careful now. We caught Covid on ourRead more
Will it Fill Up?
November 7, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F
The plane looks kind of empty because we were among the first people to get on. I’m hoping that it’s not a full flight so that we could get a chance to stretch out a bit and, hopefully, sleep.
Tired but Happy
November 7, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F
We’re very tired, but happy, while waiting to leave we’re talking about getting our new dog, Truffle. We’re so excited to be meeting him very soon!
Filling Up
November 7, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F
This flight is filling up very quickly and it’s looking like there won’t be any extra seats to sleep in. Why are there this many people here so early in the morning?
The Safety Lecture
November 7, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F
Does anyone really listen to these talks about airline safety? I was looking around at the other passengers and none of them seemed to be paying any attention to the flight attendant. This seems to beRead more
Lights Out!
November 7, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F
The lights have been turned down in order to allow everyone a chance to sleep a little more. I like this glowing blue look. I feel like I’m on some sort of a spaceship!
Ready to Go
November 7, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F
As much as I appreciate the lights turned down, I know that I’m not going to be sleeping on this flight. I’m just not able to sleep on planes, no matter how hard I try. I do try but sleep alwaysRead more
Taking Off
November 7, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F
We’re just starting to take off and head down to New Orleans. Unfortunately, I don’t have a window seat this time so this is the best view that I could get. Kathy booked me an aisle seat andRead more
