We Just Left
7 novembre 2019, États Unis ⋅ ☁️ 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
7 novembre 2019, États Unis ⋅ ☁️ 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 offEn savoir plus
The Drop Off
7 novembre 2019, États Unis ⋅ ☁️ 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!
7 novembre 2019, États Unis ⋅ ☁️ 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
7 novembre 2019, États Unis ⋅ ☁️ 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 checkingEn savoir plus
Negotiations
7 novembre 2019, États Unis ⋅ ☁️ 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 luggageEn savoir plus
Where's Our Gate?
7 novembre 2019, États Unis ⋅ ☁️ 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 constructionEn savoir plus
Groot's Ready to Go
7 novembre 2019, États Unis ⋅ ☁️ 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 beEn savoir plus
Time for Lunch
7 novembre 2019, États Unis ⋅ ☁️ 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 saladEn savoir plus
Eat & Go
7 novembre 2019, États Unis ⋅ ☁️ 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'mEn savoir plus
Our Plane is Here!
7 novembre 2019, États Unis ⋅ ☁️ 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'sEn savoir plus
Things to Come
7 novembre 2019, États Unis ⋅ ☁️ 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'mEn savoir plus
Boarding Line
7 novembre 2019, États Unis ⋅ ☁️ 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 theEn savoir plus
In the Jetway
7 novembre 2019, États Unis ⋅ ☁️ 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 andEn savoir plus
A Bad Start
7 novembre 2019, États Unis ⋅ ☁️ 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 wasEn savoir plus
We're Finally Going
7 novembre 2019, États Unis ⋅ ☁️ 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 planeEn savoir plus
So Tired
7 novembre 2019, 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 sureEn savoir plus
A Miserable Meal
7 novembre 2019, Canada ⋅ ☁️ 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 fewEn savoir plus
Not Enjoying It
7 novembre 2019, 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'sEn savoir plus
Bad Food
7 novembre 2019, 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 thatEn savoir plus
Don't Drink It!
7 novembre 2019, Irlande ⋅ ⛅ 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 itEn savoir plus
Can't Sleep
7 novembre 2019, 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, withoutEn savoir plus
Ready for Breakfast
8 novembre 2019, France ⋅ ⛅ 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 theEn savoir plus
Orange Juice?
8 novembre 2019, France ⋅ ⛅ 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'sEn savoir plus
Up and About
8 novembre 2019, Italie ⋅ 🌧 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. ItEn savoir plus
