It All Starts Here

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 Mayıs 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☁️ 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 beOkumaya devam et
The Rain
2 Mayıs 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ 🌧 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 Mayıs 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☁️ 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 Mayıs 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☁️ 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 Mayıs 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☁️ 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 Mayıs 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☁️ 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.Okumaya devam et
Almost Done
2 Mayıs 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☁️ 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 takenOkumaya devam et
$4.59?!
2 Mayıs 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☁️ 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,Okumaya devam et
Southwest Airlines
2 Mayıs 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☁️ 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. IOkumaya devam et
Empty Terminal
2 Mayıs 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☁️ 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 Mayıs 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri
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 Mayıs 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☁️ 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

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 toldOkumaya devam et
Terminal B
2 Mayıs 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☁️ 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 consideredOkumaya devam et
Walking Around
2 Mayıs 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☁️ 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?Okumaya devam et
It’s Ready to Go
2 Mayıs 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☁️ 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 Mayıs 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☁️ 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 Mayıs 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☁️ 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 Mayıs 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☁️ 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 theOkumaya devam et
Confused Boarding
2 Mayıs 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☁️ 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 Mayıs 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☁️ 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 beOkumaya devam et
On the Jetway
2 Mayıs 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☁️ 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 Mayıs 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☁️ 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!
Boarding
2 Mayıs 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
I’m glad that we got on the plane so quickly. It’s starting to get so hectic with everybody looking for seats and a place to stow their bags. I’d hate to be among the last people boarding.
