We Just Left
2019年11月7日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F
Joe just picked us up and we're on our way to Kennedy Airport. This is going to be our third trip to Europe and our first trip to Italy. We're looking forward to this vacation so much!
On the Way to JFK
2019年11月7日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F
We had planned to go to the airport using an Uber cab but Judy insisted that Joe will take us. I feel better riding with someone that I know and, as a bonus, it saves us money. We've dropped them offもっと詳しく
The Drop Off
2019年11月7日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F
Without any traffic, we made great time in getting to JFK. Joe just dropped us off at departures and we're now headed to the check in gate. I hope that the line isn't too long.
No Lines!
2019年11月7日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F
I was expecting it to busy but there was no lines at all! So far, this trip is starting off great! I hope that our good luck keeps going!
Checked Bag
2019年11月7日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F
I knew that our luck couldn't last! The Alitalia clerk that was checking us in decided to weigh my carry-on bag and told us that it was too heavy and would have to be checked. The cost for checkingもっと詳しく
Negotiations
2019年11月7日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F
Kathy spent some time talking with the Alitalia clerk and was able to get us better seats, with a window and more towards the front, but she wasn't able to get me out of paying the checked luggageもっと詳しく
Where's Our Gate?
2019年11月7日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F
Kennedy Airport is getting so modern! When we first got in the airport, I thought that I was in a fancy shopping mall. We walked by so many high end stores. LaGuardia airport is under constructionもっと詳しく
Groot's Ready to Go
2019年11月7日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F
One of my goals for this trip is to do more toy photography. I'm bringing Groot, Danbo, and some of my favorite figures. I'm not sure how much I'll be using my figures because it's supposed to beもっと詳しく
Time for Lunch
2019年11月7日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F
We were in such a rush to get ready for our trip that we didn't even have time to have breakfast or lunch. We just ended up going to the bagel shop and getting food there. Kathy got an egg saladもっと詳しく
Eat & Go
2019年11月7日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F
The food choices at the airport are getting much better than they used to be. This place is not just the standard American foods but also Turkish and halal foods. I've never had halal food yet. I'mもっと詳しく
Our Plane is Here!
2019年11月7日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 57 °F
This is the plane that's going to take us to Rome. We've never flown anywhere on Alitalia before so I'm hoping that everything goes well. I'm still annoyed at them for making me check my bag but let'sもっと詳しく
Things to Come
2019年11月7日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F
This was the wallpaper hanging up just outside the entrance to the men's restroom. I thought that it was quite a coincidence, since we're going to Rome and planning on seeing both of these places. I'mもっと詳しく
Boarding Line
2019年11月7日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 57 °F
People are starting to line up to get on the plane but, with the way it's arranged, many people don't seem to know where to go and are just wandering around in confusion. I had thought that theもっと詳しく
In the Jetway
2019年11月7日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F
We're trying to get on the plane but the jetway is all backed up. I've never seen one that's so crowded! I don't understand why it's such a process to board a plane. People get on trains, buses andもっと詳しく
A Bad Start
2019年11月7日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F
So far, I'm not very impressed with Alitalia at all. They made me check my luggage, and charged me for it, our boarding was delayed for a bit over an hour, and then, when we did finally board, it wasもっと詳しく
We're Finally Going
2019年11月7日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F
After some delays, we're ready to take off. I hope that this is going to be a good flight but I'm not sure that it will be. The seats are very small and uncomfortable and, for some reason, the planeもっと詳しく
So Tired
2019年11月7日, North Atlantic Ocean ⋅ ☁️ 54 °F
I've been trying to sleep but, like always, I'm just not able to fall asleep while I'm sitting up. It doesn't even matter how tired I am. I just can't get comfortable enough to fall asleep. I'm sureもっと詳しく
A Miserable Meal
2019年11月7日, カナダ ⋅ ☁️ 46 °F
Once again, the food that the airlines serve is the stuff of nightmares. It would be so much better if the airlines served simple sandwiches or, better yet, don't serve any food and then knock a fewもっと詳しく
Not Enjoying It
2019年11月7日, North Atlantic Ocean ⋅ ☁️ 41 °F
I gave my meal to Kathy, since I didn't want it, and although she picked at it, she couldn't get a full meal putting my food and hers together. Usually Kathy will eat just about anything so, if she'sもっと詳しく
Bad Food
2019年11月7日, North Atlantic Ocean ⋅ ⛅ 43 °F
Danbo can't believe what the airlines are passing off as food these days. I'm really making an effort to do more toy photography so I'm trying to work my figures into a variety of shots. I think thatもっと詳しく
Don't Drink It!
2019年11月7日, アイルランド ⋅ ⛅ 45 °F
It was so warm on the plane and when the person seated next to us, in the aisle seat, got up to walk around for a bit, they came back with three cups of water, one for each of us. I thought that itもっと詳しく
Can't Sleep
2019年11月7日, North Sea ⋅ ⛅ 48 °F
Kathy and I are both exhausted but can't fall asleep. For some reason, this plane doesn't have those little air blowers above the seats. Those are great for giving the passengers cool air but, withoutもっと詳しく
Ready for Breakfast
2019年11月8日, フランス ⋅ ⛅ 37 °F
The lights have just been turned up, although it still seems very dark and gloomy to me, and the flight attendants are getting ready to start serving breakfast. I've just now noticed that all of theもっと詳しく
Orange Juice?
2019年11月8日, フランス ⋅ ⛅ 37 °F
What Alitalia called breakfast was just as bad as the previous meal they served us. This red drink was served to us and they called is orange juice. Kathy questioned the color and was told that it'sもっと詳しく
Up and About
2019年11月8日, イタリア ⋅ 🌧 55 °F
With breakfast, such as it was, out of the way, I decided to stretch my legs a bit and use the restroom. I don't think it will be much longer until we land so it's best to get everything done now. Itもっと詳しく
