this is the windiest place i've ever been good morning welcome to our travel day video we are
currently headed from the house to dfw uh we're going to be leaving dallas and flying over the
flagstaff so um this will be our road trip through arizona and part of utah so we'll stay a couple
of days at the grand canyon and then we'll head on into page arizona we're going to be doing an
antelope canyon tour we're going to see horseshoe bend and then from there we're
going to forge onto maybe monument valley and on into moab where we'll rent a side by side
hopefully see arches national park um so yeah it's gonna be a wild week come along with us
oh it's hot i'm kind of sequestered over here by myself so i am a little confused um
earlier when we were looking you know just to make sure that our gate hadn't changed it said
that we were supposed to speak e30 now i told you before i haven't been to terminal e almost
maybe once and then it switched to e29 a and i'm walking and there is no e29a like it jumps
spirit airlines has been given all of the announcements like the longest
probably the past 10 minutes worth of announcements now she's gonna keep going
okay let me make this quick because somebody else out here spirit is going to make another
announcement in about five seconds anyway there is no e29 there was no e30 it jumps from
e 32 or 31 rather i'm at e31 the next gate down is e21 and i even pulled up the map
because on american airlines app there's terminal map there is no e29 is this a joke
never mind i'm an idiot now i remember the last time when i was walking that way towards
those gates i kind of got distracted by a fish tank and that's where i needed to take a left
but i don't think i've ever been over here this is a trick i feel like
i'm getting down into a subway tunnel or something i'm like in mind
let alice tell you too i'm ready for masks to be a thing of the past because when i'm
trucking across an airport and i'm huffing and i'm puffing it's hot i'm sweaty found the gate
i'm in the land of announcements so now we've got about 25 minutes or so until we board and
then we've got a two hour flight or so so yeah and we've got a storm coming in that's not fun
we knew that there would probably be some high winds today um and now it kind of looks
stormy so it makes me a little nervous especially being on a small plane but we'll see how it goes
on a happy note we did get complimentary upgrades to first class
i
when we landed in flagstaff they said everyone who has priority bags will be laid out on the
ground so that you can pick them up first and keep going we are in flagstaff this is a really
cute airport it's small you pretty much have like one terminal here and one baggage
claim so you can't get confused you can't get lost um as soon as you come in off the plane
i mean like your baggage claim your rental car service get something to eat some starbucks
whatever you want is there we just checked in at avis so like i said earlier we're renting a car
i want to say we've got a couple hour drive from here to tuesday on which is about 15 minutes
from the entrance of the grand canyon we're just waiting for the rental car guy to finish checking
everybody in he's going to give us the car and let us get on our way right so we have our kia forte
kia forte you know we got to get coffee and one of our favorite coffee places dutch brothers
is here um i told jeff i was thinking that it was kind of just a pacific northwest thing
because the only place i personally had ever really seen at dutch brothers was when we went
like um to the california redwoods and up through oregon and stuff this coffee is so good but it is
like the caffeine it's all there well for me i'm i guess i'm caffeine sensitive we both got the
orange groove i think is what it's called a salt on their website and it's orange infused cold brew
sweetener and cream i think cream something like that whipped cream maybe or cold foam jeff says
cold foam tastes good oh that's good and it's not too orange like a cold brew but with a hint of a
dreamsicle it's beautiful here i don't know much about arizona because i haven't really i haven't
i don't think i've mom said i went to arizona when i was three that doesn't count i don't know much
about arizona and all i ever think about arizona is desert plateaus and i know that that's like
a small-minded thing but anyways it is beautiful here woods pine trees mountains that have little
snow peaks we've got about an hour and a half or so to get to tucson to our hotel and it's only
noon here now our two hour flight also put us two hours behind central time so maybe if we
get there in time we might be able to peek at the grand canyon today i don't know we'll see
yay we made it to tucson we are gonna check in here at the holiday inn express on
okay let me show you what you get here at the holiday inn express tuesday on just come
in the front door sink bathroom jr watkins shampoo shower gel and conditioner and then
back this way it's a double queen television they give you a keurig here with coffee what
else do we have breakfast blend colombian select earl grey tea cups uh and ice bucket back there
um open this way refrigerator and a microwave which is really nice because
a lot of hotels are phasing those out these days
oh this pulls out i thought this was another drawer no that's kind of cool drawer hair dryer
drawer desk to do your work do like the extra outlets here those are just plugs
not usb's again we've got more plugs not usbs though in case you're wondering about that
let me see if they've got any usb plugs over here uh one you've got one usb here two more plugs
here sometimes they'll have um oh yeah there's two more so so far i'm seeing three usbs total
if you need to plug stuff in you may want to bring um you know like a big
outlet thing if you need to plug more usbs in and you don't have enough
plugs let's see what kind of view we've got actually i didn't even look at that
oh okay let's see got another hotel over there i think that's like the red feather
lodge or something i think our new plan instead of trekking out to the grand canyon and seeing
what we could see and then come back and stuff and then go to dinner i think what we're gonna do
instead is wait and do that tomorrow um i saw a mexican food restaurant that sounded okay
we i'll take mexican food anywhere i love mexican food i can eat it any day how about you
what's your favorite kind of food like what is that one type of food you could have it
any day of the week over and over again and you're good let me know down in the comments
oh my god
whoa whoa whoa door this is the windiest place i've ever been flag staff very windy
to say on uber windy we took like an hour break after we checked into the hotel
uh watch a little harry potter because when it's on gotta watch it
and now we are going to get some dinner here in tucson we found a place called
plaza bonita but yeah we're gonna head over there and see what kind of food they've got i'm hungry
we stuck to our usual mexican food entrees i got chicken flotas beans and rice and jeff
ordered orozcon pollo which is chicken and rice you know we got chips and salsa a big
thing of queso and guacamole that dinner was so delicious but jeff found a tip online that said
you need to get to these restaurants by five or they fill up and it was right he was right
oh my god okay hold this for a second don't turn it off if i let go of this door
okay okay it is now 6 p.m and it's completely full in there so
definitely if you're here get your dinner early or you're probably gonna have to wait a while
okay we were about to end the video but jeff needs to look for our beanie so we came to the general
store there's slivers they've got all kinds of stuff here now i'm just in here shopping what
do you think jeff is this for me yeah it might be for me is this going to be your beanie maybe
so they don't have any beanies so jeff might be wearing a good skin cat
yeah if you're in tucson come on down to the general store they've got growlers
they've got beer on tap fill that puppy up i mean anything you want to drink they've got it
not alcoholic alcoholic y'all need to tell me what this is what's up with these caps
do we have a problem with people opening bottles in the store and take it tips they
don't have them on the wine bottles just these straight up alcohol bottles seasoning creamer
tools potatoes so they do have some groceries here beanies found the beanies
yeah come to the general store for sure stock up on everything you need bread you need to make a
fire but make sure your fire is out completely let's not start forest fires okay oh they even
have like backpacker meals the freeze-dried meals so that you can add hot water to them
