Loved the video and the story behind your title! I love how descriptive you are in your TRs! YAYYY!
It's always fun to fly to Orlando and to see families traveling to Disney. Of course, they're easier to spot on the way home since they're all wearing Disney gear. It makes me wonder what percentage of visitors buy clothing or hats!
Funny how Dad takes longer to grasp how Disney transportation works. If he ever gets the chance to experience it, he just might get hooked! We just love not having to drive at all on vacation.
I am the same way with the restrooms. Right before boarding, I always go even if I just went. I'd rather use the airport restroom than the tiny plane one!
Your nails do look cool with the speckles, nice job!
And you are on your way!!
Love, Love, Love JetBlue. Though we often fly Southwest to save money. Nothing beats those TVs to help the time pass!
I wish both of you had been better also. So many people were sick that year. The gang decided that I needed a holiday so planned a last minute trip. 5 days, 4 nights at AKL standard view. 6am flight on Jet Blue going down and 8;30 pm on the way back. When I got there I was upgraded to a savanah view. I can't even begin to express what a blessing this trip was. Looking at the airport is reminding me of that morning. Looking forward to the next update. Love the nails.
Looks like a great travel day so far!
I'm not a huge fan of flying...seems to get worse the older I get too. I don't get sick though...just nervous.
I love that your apartment has a lobby! I guess that is normal but it reminds me of a hotel.
Obviously, I find mundane things thrilling!
Joining! I love your nails, by the way. I have that same 'clearly spotted' or whatever it is, but haven't used it yet! I clearly need to. Excited to read about this trip!
Awwww - I didn't know you hated flying! I hope those sea bands helped. I watch a movie now whenever I fly. By the time I can turn on my computer and watch the movie it generally lasts long enough to get me to landing. Definitely helps.
I hear ya on the last minute BR trip and I'm right there with you!
Howard's pics are really nice! And how nice of him to help those loads get all checked in!
Aww, I feel like all of my flights to Orlando, even if they're for business, are just so happy! Most people are just audibly excited.
LOVE JetBlue! Did you fly out of Newark?? We loved the JetBlue terminal at JFK, but Westchester is just so much more convenient for us.
Love that you made airport friends-- so sweet of Howard to help out Stella and Dina!
Haha I'm still waiting for the day for someone to bump into our video and be like, hey, that's Grandma and her friend! That would be hilarious
Yay i'm so glad your included the videos again, I loved watching the little clips in your honeymoon TR.
I was intrigued when you were describing the Sea Bands, so I had to google them when I finished reading your update. They sound like a really neat idea
And haha I'm the same way about having to always use the bathroom right before boarding, the bathrooms on the plane although there, are not something I wanna use if I don't have too.
Can't wait for more
Subbing in! I enjoyed reading your Disneymoon TR, so I'm looking forward to this
Subbing in to read later!!
Glad to see you started a new TR! I really enjoyed reading about your Disneymoon so I am looking forward to reading about this trip too!
I much prefer driving for the exact reason you mentioned. However, we normally fly simply because of the time it takes to get there in a car.
I feel old all of the time! Seriously, when kids these days do the stuff they do, I feel so behind! And I'm really tech savvy.
Yay for another Weird & Ninja TR! I finally got a chance to sit down and read, and once again, you don't disappoint, Rachel.
First off, I have to say, when you are ready to have a baby, you'll know. And don't let anyone pressure you into it before then! DH and I started dating young and married young, and I always thought we'd get married and have a child right after. But then we realized that being married was a whole different ballgame than just dating, and we enjoyed just being together for awhile. We were married for 3 years before we decided we were ready for a baby. As happy and fulfilled as I felt becoming a mom, I wouldn't trade those 3 years for anything!
Great start to the TR! Seems like a smooth travel day so far, which is always a plus.
I love the way your chronicled your flight and I completely understand what you mean about transferring your fears. I have seen that happen over and over. I really had to get over my fear of amusement park rides when my kids where little. There wee so many coasters I didn't want to ride and boys ride coasters.
Jet Blue feeds you well! I find the whole food/drink distribution think to be a great distraction as well. But I'm telling you - bringing your own movie is totally the way to go. You take a mindless chick flick, sort of a guilty pleasure type movie, and the time flies!
I totally get what you are saying about looking out of an airplane and wondering what people are doing down below. I especially think about it when we pass over ball fields for some reason.
Where we live is on the flight path for airplanes heading to England. Every day at around 6:45 the is always an airplane on its way. I always wonder if they are traveling for buisness or vacation. And when will it be us up there.
I remember the days when cartoon were only on for an hour or two in the afternoons and Saturday mornings.
We spent many a summer weekday afternoon watching reruns of Gomer Pyle, the Beverly Hillbillies and Bewitched.
Still love Bob Ross. So mesmerizing!
Love the update! I am not a fan of flying, but my husband absolutely hates it. I do love being able to drive places that I want to go. It's so nice to be able to stop whenever I want or not to have all my plans rearranged because of flight delays or cancellations.
I LOVED Bob Ross. I saw this awhile ago and it made me laugh
Joining in! I know I was REALLY late on your Disneymoon one but at least I'm catching this one early I really enjoy your trip reports because I am a thrifty vacationer too! Since we usually drive, we bring our groceries down with us. Plus I am a couponer and use swagbucks which I am currently saving up to get a gift card to take my son to T-Rex this summer. Well looks like you all had a great flight and can't wait to hear more!
I had popcorn chip and watched Mama Mia on my touch during the flight. Over the years I have developed motion sickness and can not do some rides without a pill. On my previous flight I found that I feel very ill on take off and landings, now I take a pill for that too. It is very annoying since I was able to go on anything with no problem at all.
I hope JetBlue never cuts out the snacks and drinks. It makes a big difference breaking up the flight.
Bob Ross. What a calming voice. Just thinking about it makes me relax!
Just a quick FYI. Chik-Fil-a is in Both the Woodbridge and Menlo Park Malls. We go about once a month. It's Joe's favorite. Menlo also serves breakfast.
Soon we were on our way! I consider this the first "ride" of the trip, and I know if we ever fly to Orlando with our kids, they'll be excited about it because we will still be excited about it too! I have to say that in my mind, I always see pictures of the DIS kids sitting on that blue portion and staring out the window, especially the one with Brooklyn and Bella that was posted on BrooklynsMommy and MeMom's TRs.
True, the 'fauxnorail' means we are really there! The entire trip lies before us, and everyone is happy and excited.
Well, I watched, and one of my life's most vital questions - "How does Howard eat a sandwich?" - has now been covered.
