Well I'm in the airport. Sam's here as well.
And today, well I flew yesterday and I'm already flying again today but this is my first time getting back onto my
crazy travel grind so yesterday from Indiana to here in New Orleans now from
New Orleans to Atlanta and I'm just going to kind of give you
guys a little bit of (this is so hard to keep on)
I'm going to give you guys a little bit of a kind of how I travel so you're
going to join me through the airport and see what it's like.
As we go through security, Sam and I both have TSA Pre-check
there's a thing called Global Entry so when you come in from another country
you can just kind of pass through all this security stuff but
since we're leaving right now and not coming into the US
we're just going to go through the expedited TSA Pre-check line
right up there through security.
Well actually I am flying first class today but I'll go through TSA
with you.
Oh wait, you get your own line?
Yes I get my own line now for first class but I'll be a peasant
Sam today. They're running my bag through again. I
think it's because of my speakers. They do that sometimes with the speakers. They
look they're kind of funny shaped I'll show you guys what they look
like but I think that's what it is.
I missed it, oh it worked. So that was a a little trip through TSA
Pre-check. It's super fast and obviously I mean the airport is practically
like vacant. It's normally a lot more busy but
I mean with all the stuff going on right now obviously there are not as many
people out here but I need to just I'm gonna pull this
down for a minute. I'm gonna get in trouble.
The reason for TSA pre-check and even more so global entry is
it just helps with the traveling process and since I'm on a plane at
least once a week normally kind of helps me
bypass lines and I don't have to wait as long and
possibly miss quick connections and quick flights and stuff like that.
It's definitely a big help having those things and then with
Global Entry you automatically get TSA Pre-check as it is so
also helpful because it helps take down some of that cost TSA Pre-check is what
I said
$85 for five years and then Global Entry is $100 for five years but you get
Global or you get TSA Pre-check with Global Entry so if you're someone who
travels a lot and especially in and out of the country I highly recommend one or the other.
Normally as I'm traveling, I spend most of my time in an airport
in a lounge and the Delta Sky Club is one of the main lounges I use
since I mainly fly with Delta but thanks to good old COVID-19, I don't have
access to my lounges right now so we just have to kind of sit and chill
like everybody else. Then we have to pay for food and alcohol
now which you get for free in the lounge but uh yeah oh my gosh
this mask but representing my stepdad breeds
American bully so Brotherhood Bullies right here.
Okay, I do love this mask but its way too humid here in New Orleans for me to
be wearing a cloth mask. I just actually can't breathe so
I might put on this one from Excalibur in Vegas that my mother brought me but
it kind of hurts my ears or sam just gave me this one that just
it's a regular old mask I guess
just trying on all the masks. Also in certain airports, they might
not have lounges and so what they'll do is there's this thing called Priority
Pass that allows you to get into certain lounges or things that can act
as lounges so you can have access to certain restaurants or bars throughout
the airport where you can spend a certain amount of
time and spend up to a certain amount of money
and actually like get stuff for free as opposed to like full all-access like you
would in a normal like Delta Sky Club or the Centurion
lounge and all the other cool lounges throughout the airports around the world.
But priority pass is also a super super cool
thing and a good option as well if you don't feel like going to
just lounges all the time. It's more of a restaurant or a bar type thing so
it's also something to check out. Well that didn't last long the mask that
Sam was like "Oh you should do this and you should try this with just a regular
old mask" It broke instantly so now I'm in this
one uh this is my last last resort because
this face mask thing is rough but has to be done.
So just a little life update i guess a little bit of a
storytime so what I've been - what has been going on in my life for
the past like few months. I was here in New
Orleans for a wedding. my friends Trevor and
Caroline got married. That was an amazing time and my
family is super super big with St. Patrick's Day. I might not look
like it but I am part Irish so I just need to take this down I can't
breathe so I traveled home to Michigan. I was
expecting just to be there for the holidays so I got there March
16th expecting to be home maybe like two weeks and then
boom: COVID-19 happened and the world shut down.
So then I was stuck in Michigan and I had no clue for how long that would last
but it ended up being about three and a
half months which is again like I said the longest I've gone without traveling
in probably about five years so it was
super awesome to get to spend a ton of time with all of
my family. What did you say? Take a picture of me so I can be famous.
Okay, I'm taking a picture right now. What kind of smile is that?
That's quite a fake one. Stop! I'm getting a real smile like tickling you.
Tickle. Oh, you're weird. get to spend a bunch
of time with friends and do just different activities with my life. I
didn't train much, my flipping and all that.
I went on a lot of hiking and kayaking trips with friends
I was born and raised right there on Lake Huron so
just a lot of like beach activities,been playing a lot of Spikeball.
Shout out Spikeball and after that amazing
three and a half months back home with all of my family and friends I got to go
down to Indiana and stay with some super close friends of mine the
Newby family and do a gymnastics camp down there for
a couple days in their gym and then fly back down here
to New orleans for the video and photo shoot that i just
did for my new merchandise and that was actually it went
really well but it was miserable because uh it was 90. I think it said it was like
96 or something like that but with the heat index it read like 111 and it was
super humid. I don't do well with heat I
don't do well with humidity. I am definitely a
cold person, 100% born and raised up North. I like cold and I prefer it and I will
die in it- unless I die of a heat stroke first but
now off to Atlanta. Also, if any of you guys have had any stories
like traveling during this whole pandemic,
you can make sure to leave a comment and let me know what your experience has
been like. I've taken a big break from traveling
which you guys know is my my thing. I'm always doing it so I have my slogan
another day another plane. But I took a three and a half
month break. So it was wild and now coming back and seeing like
pretty much an empty airport is crazy.
So yeah, let me know what your guys' experiences have been like just
leave a comment and I'll be sure to read those.
Hey sir, how are you doing? Hello. Good, how are you? Thank you
There she is. Bye, Sam!
See you later, Sam.
On behalf of all of us at Delta, welcome aboard.
If it's been a while since you've flown, rest assured your comfort and safety
are still our number one priority at every stage.
Well, we just walked up, literally just now
in one bag
and the other bag. Nice! None of my stuff got lost.
Alright. Ii will see you guys at the
house.
Adios, Mr. Chris and we have arrived. We're gonna sneak
into the house. We're gonna sneak in. Yeah. Well I mean i
have a key but we're not gonna tell them that we're
coming in.
Alright, well now that I am here at the lovely Claire residence
also my Atlanta home, you can see I've changed a little bit. I took a
shower, shaved, and all that. But yeah, that is what it is like traveling
during the global pandemic. It really wasn't
too crazy or too different. Just the fact that like there was nobody in the
airport for the most part and the planes
were like not even half full but everything
was super clean. I mean it just wasn't wasn't
too different but it's definitely a little eerie not having other people
around. But yeah, thank you guys for watching. There will be a lot more to
come. I'm finally getting back on this YouTube
grind. Hopefully. So thank you all for
watching - like, subscribe, share with your friends all that fun
stuff and I will see you guys in the next one.
Love you, bye.
