It All Starts Here
2 Mei 2023, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
Once again, our journey begins here at Village Animal Hospital. We’re here to drop off Pixel before we get ready to leave for Chicago.
The Drop Off
2 Mei 2023, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
Usually I’m on my own to drop off Pixel but Kathy came with me today. It’s always nice to have extra company on the way back home. We’re only boarding Pixel this time. Truffle is going to beBaca lagi
The Rain
2 Mei 2023, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ 🌧 48 °F
The rain is coming down at quite a steady rate. I’m hoping the bad weather isn’t going to delay our flight. Like it’s been said in The Crow, “It can’t rain all the time.”
And We’re Off!
2 Mei 2023, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
Bryan is driving us to LaGuardia Airport today. It’s faster and less expensive than having to get there in a taxi or arranging an Uber ride.
On the Way
2 Mei 2023, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
We’re making very good time since there’s no traffic at all. It’s always so much easier driving around during the week when everyone else is at work,
Dropped Off
2 Mei 2023, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 50 °F
We were just dropped off at the Southwest departures terminal and this view of Manhattan caught my eye. I never knew that you could see all of Manhattan from the airport. It looks great!
TSA Check
2 Mei 2023, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 50 °F
We had already done the online check in for our flight so our first stop was the TSA checkpoint. I find this to be such a hassle and most of the workers here seem to have real attitude problems.Baca lagi
Almost Done
2 Mei 2023, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 50 °F
I’ve had better TSA experiences and I’ve had worse but this one was closer to the worse side of the inspections. My backpack had to be opened up and all my figures and photography gear was takenBaca lagi
$4.59?!
2 Mei 2023, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 50 °F
Kathy wanted a bottle of water to take on the plane with her so we stopped at the first food kiosk we saw to get one. I was shocked to see them charging $4.59! We can buy the entire case of water,Baca lagi
Southwest Airlines
2 Mei 2023, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 50 °F
We’re going to be flying to Chicago on Southwest Airlines. This is our second time using them and while they are a good airline, I just can’t get used to their bizarre boarding procedures. IBaca lagi
Empty Terminal
2 Mei 2023, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
It’s not that early, so I can’t understand why the terminal is so empty. I don’t mind though. I’d much rather have it like this than deal with crowds.
Happy Travelers
2 Mei 2023, Amerika Syarikat
We’re feeling very happy and excited about going to Chicago. We’ve never been there before and we’re looking forward to seeing the city so much!
Waiting to Leave
2 Mei 2023, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
Wherever we go, Groot always comes along with us. He’s a great, and fun, travel companion! I’m sure he’ll enjoy this journey just as much as all the others he’s been on.
Gate 54
2 Mei 2023, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
This isn’t our gate, but I’m wandering around with Groot, and taking pictures, while waiting until it’s time to board the plane. The woman working at the next gate over was watching me and toldBaca lagi
Terminal B
2 Mei 2023, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
I’m walking off so I can fill up our empty water bottles. I don’t know why water, and shoes, are such sensitive items for the TSA here. It seems every area has different things that are consideredBaca lagi
Walking Around
2 Mei 2023, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
With our water bottles filled, I’m headed back to our seats at the gate. I’m surprised to see people drinking at the bar that I passed. Who needs to start drinking so early in the morning?Baca lagi
It’s Ready to Go
2 Mei 2023, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
The plane is ready to leave and so are we. Why is there always so much procedure and waiting involved with riding on an airplane? Is it really that complicated? I don’t think so.
Toad
2 Mei 2023, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
Toad is all packed up and ready to leave. This is one of my newer figures, from the Super Mario franchise. With his heavy looking backpack, he naturally became one of my “traveling” figures.
Lining Up
2 Mei 2023, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
It’s nearly time to board so people are starting to line up in their designated spots. There’s so many little likes here that it’s hard to tell where I should go.
Let’s See…
2 Mei 2023, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
Here’s my boarding pass. I’m in group A, position 30. As I understand it, I’m in the first group and the 30th person allowed to board the plane. I’m guessing that’s a good spot because theBaca lagi
Confused Boarding
2 Mei 2023, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
I don’t know why Southwest Airlines insists on having a boarding process that’s different from every other airline. All it does is create confusion.
Frustrated
2 Mei 2023, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
Everyone has been lined up for a while but we’re still not moving. Apparently, there was some Indian guy in a wheelchair who was arguing with the Southwest staff that him, and his family, should beBaca lagi
On the Jetway
2 Mei 2023, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
I’m past the check in spot and ready to enter the jetway. These corridors seem almost like passages to another world. I’m walking into one in New York City and walk out in Chicago. Fun!
Getting Excited!
2 Mei 2023, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
We’ve got our seats, fairly close to the front of the plane, and now the excitement is starting to set in. Our trip to Chicago will begin very soon!
