Joe has no idea that I'm making this video.
He thinks I am out for a walk in our woods to test out our new smartphone stabilizer,
which is what I'm doing. But I figure what better way to test it out than to make a video with it.
I'm going to document our travel day from Louisville, Kentucky,
down to Florida for the RV show and test this out to see what we all think.
Time to get back, get packed. See you in the morning.
We are flying from Louisville, Kentucky to Orlando, Florida today on Spirit Airlines.
I know some people have had bad experiences with Spirit, but so far, we've really enjoyed it.
It flies direct from Louisville to Los Angeles, which makes it convenient to visit Joe's mom.
For our roundtrip airfare plus a four-day car rental,
it was $440 and it included our checked bags.
So I think that's very reasonable. Let us know if you've flown Spirit and what your experience was like.
I love the Louisville Airport. It's small, but it's convenient.
And there's horses and bourbon.
Joe and I always travel with a water bottle.
Because after TSA, at least at the Louisville airport, you can get water at the water station.
- Joe has no idea why I'm filming and what I'm filming. - None.
I'm just getting ready for coffee.
I guess if we're giving travel tips, here's mine. Bring your own cup.
Joe's travel tip is to get hot water,
bring an instant coffee and become instant human.
Cheers!
My bag got flagged at TSA because of the gimbal.
The way it showed up on x-ray, they couldn't tell what it was, so
my bag had to be searched.
Are you waking up?
Joe has been slightly grumpy that
I didn't clue him in on what I'm doing,
and I just said, "It's a surprise." but now, I'm gonna tell him.
- Since we got this stabilizer and I'm practicing, - Yeah.
I decided what better way to practice than to actually
go through the process of filming a video.
- Hey, look, we're back to normal. - Yeah, Kait accidentally had a filter turned on.
That's why we're making this video, so I'm learning all of the intricacies of this,
- this new gadget we had. - Sure.

We're early.
Made it to Orlando. Now, we have to pick up our rental car and drive to Tampa.
Correction, we have to pick up our bag first.
Joe and I split up. He went to go pick up the rental car,
and I'm at baggage claim waiting for our bags.
It's been close to an hour now,
and there are a bunch of people on our flight from Louisville who are missing their bags,
so I'm just gonna walk down the baggage claim floor here
and see if maybe it ended up somewhere else.
This has never happened to us before
so I'm not really sure what the next step is if our luggage didn't make it.
The baggage claim people at Spirit are trying to track down our bags for us, so
fingers crossed our bags show up.
Oh, I think I see our bags. Joe's gonna be so happy.
- You're here. - We got it.
I was just saying you're gonna be so happy.
What kind of car did you get us?
Economy.
Do you want the Chevy or the Mazda?
We're going Mazda. Zoom zoom.
Number one rule of renting a car is to
check the exterior and make sure there aren't any big scratches.
Okay. We got a scratch there.
Joe always travels with a flashlight. You never know when it's gonna come in handy.
Okay, another scratch.
Scratch
on top, multiple sides.
- All good? - Yep.
Yay. We're finally on the road to Tampa.
It has been quite the travel day.
Usually, it's really smooth when we fly,
and this is the first time I've had a delay like this
where we were waiting around for an hour and a half trying to figure out what happened to our bag.
Luckily, the people at the Spirit counter were super helpful.
They were able to check and see that at least our bags made it out of Louisville into Orlando.
This means we are an hour and a half delayed getting into Tampa.
Hopefully, we still have time to
check out one of the bakeries we really like to get a Cuban sandwich.
I got our sandwiches. Of course, I got myself a coffee and I'm so hungry.
I'm just gonna sit here on the ground and eat 'em.
Let's see our Cuban sandwich here.
Look at that.
And this one is mine. I got lettuce and tomato.
I'm so excited.
I'm happy. I've got caffeine and pork in my belly.
I do love a good Cuban sandwich.
- That place did not disappoint. - No.
All right. Do you wanna go check into our hotel?
- Sure. - All right.
Come on in.
Okay.
- It'll do. - It will.
- How you doing back there? - I'm tired.
Well, that is it for this video. We're gonna
recoup from this travel day and hit it hard tomorrow for the RV show. So
see you all then. If you enjoyed this video, don't forget to give us a thumbs up,
