Currently packing to go on my trip, wondering what to bring & wondering what not to bring ya know?
I am also bringing my ps4, switch & a few other electronics that I'm gonna have to take in & out about 3 or 4 times since I have a connecting flight. Not really looking forward to that, but, I'm gonna be in Florida for two weeks so it's good to be entertained when you're around your relatives. My partner is coming with me & it's gonna be an interesting trip ¯_(ツ)_/¯

My first flight is from Oregon to California, then from California to Orlando.
The total trip est time is about 10 H

I also re dyed my hair & it turned out nicely, so I'm happy with that as well. Hope every one had a good day today (:

That sounds like a long travel time. I often fly from CA to FL. I would bring a switch instead if you have one because you can use it on the plane. The other thing would be to use an iPad or your phone. Headphones are a must have an maybe a pillow if you can sleep on the plane. I’m actually on a flight right now

Oh and another tip for when you are there. If you have access to a washing machine you don’t need to bring two week worth of clothes. You can bring just one weeks worth and do laundry. (Or maybe 8 days worth)

@Totalanimefan: Safe travels man!! Is your flight just to point A to point B or do you have the unfortunate task of a connecting flight like I have? It's my boyfriend who has convinced my to take it since he'd put it with his carry on items. I will definitely also be playing my switch on the flight, the only thing is the dumb internet connection it's known for & boy I see why. I'm probably gonna have to connect to either the airlines wi-fi & let it continue there & if it can't finish there then I'll just connect it to my relatives place down in Florida. Sadly no ipad, but I'm definitely bringing my phone & a few other misc electronics. Oh yes, I've been sleeping on & off all day but I'm gonna be staying up all night since I have to be out the door at 5am so I'll be sleeping on the plane.

@mizuie: I try to get direct when I can. This is only Austin to CA so of course it’s going to be direct. Sometimes I can’t because it’s too expensive. Direct is just so much better. Music and headphones are must have on airplanes. The plane gets pretty loud.

@Totalanimefan: Not too, too bad. I'm jealous <(`^´)>
My last trip was from Oregon to Colorado, but it was also a connecting flight. They did 6 ads via Southwest about their travel perk plans & I wanted to kick out those speakers. Then the pilot went over it & then the stewardess people walked up and down the asile twice - so -a total of 8 times they went over it. It was one of those 'Argh' situations tbh.
Direct is waaaay better
Waaaay better - rip
Yeah I'm bringing my earbuds, but also a backup pair still in its casing for a 'oh no these broke' kinda situation - not looking to those bins tho ahhh

@Atropa Belladonna: Good hair dye is always great !! ♡ Yeah, a 10 hour flight isn't really fun, I'm a pretty antsy person esp when I'm on a plane ; v ;

@Atropa Belladonna: I'm actually staying up until I'm on the plane, then I'm gonna sleep. I woke up officially at around maybe 8:30pm ? then now I'm still up, leaving at about 6am & then my first flight is supposed to take off at 8:30am. I think I will nap a bit though, only a small amount, like 30 minutes or so before I have to leave so I'm not super cranky, but other than that I think I'm just gonna do the majority of my sleeping on the 2nd flight - which is the longest one.

@Totalanimefan: yeah we were heading out to Cali, then from Cali we had the flight merged with a Nashville flight. But the thing was that when we were in the air we were about 20 min away from Nashville there was bad weather & so we were circling around as the air tower ppl tired to figure out a different route. Then we were told that they had to land in St. Louis Missouri to refuel for about 30-35 min. Then we were in the air again. Nashville. Refueled in Nashville, then took off again.

We were supposed to be in at 9pm
But we didn't get in til 11:30ish at night & didn't get back to my grandmothers place until about 12:45am or 1am

@Totalanimefan: Oh yeah, it was a very hectic flight. My back hurt a lot, Fizz & I were very exhausted afterwards. First 3 days were ok, but then my parents came & things got (and are still) kinda hectic. We leave here on the 21st, spend the night of the 21st thru the 24th at my parents, the night of the 24th at my grandmothers & then we go back on the 25th so we have to deal with another 10 H flight. RIP. I'll also be working thru some stuff as well - but - it sucks because when we get back on the 25th, I do a morning shift on the 26th. Probs will be doing stuff on the 27th via the new house (like painting / slight unpacking) - then I work again on the 28th & 29th (morning shifts as well). While we will be heading back, packing up, moving, unpacking & a few other things - I will be dealing with some things to process via family stuff since I'll be cutting ties with my parents (also tedious things like changing my phone, number & making an appointment via a new therapist to help me work thru this shit).

So, this will be the last time they'll ever see me (they're not good ppl, my mother made Fizz cry, made him so angry to the point where he walked about 20 or feet in front of my friend Trace & I (she was behind us about 10 or so feet) just so he could get away to breathe.
(oh god here I am rambling)

I will be making a separate post on that (probs within the next month) - but, other than that - my friend Trace has made this trip 1000x better & I'm super glad I got to reconnect with them again (:

via the plane tho it was a very tedious & frustrating thing to deal with so I'm not really looking forward to heading back on the flight - but - I am glad to be getting away from my parents. "I thought this trip was supposed to be fun" says Fizz. So Fizz & I plan on coming back here to meet Trace again for a more 'proper' Florida keys vacation - that - and an anime convention eventually (about 3 or so years from now).

@Totalanimefan: My childhood friend Trace is still here & so he's made this trip 1000x better. So that's REALLY good. Fizz & I leave tmrw (we have to check out by 10am so we'll probs be on the road by about 9am or 9:30am & so here all 3 of us aren't sleeping for a good while. I may end up taking a nap at some point but that's at some point ya know ? Tmrw we're gonna be in south florida about 1ish & then I get to see my friend(s) which is having a little fiasco right now due to my mother not remembering that i've mentioned that i'd like to see 4 people - and saying that i've never told her (when i told her in advance). Still pretty stressed, but at least it's almost over. A good vaction, tho it could have been better imo. One day back to flroida & we'll be doing it more properly.

@Totalanimefan: that one person always seems to make it better even in stressful situations ya know ? tho I am sad to be leaving them (haven't seen them in about 7 years) I have their number & social stuff plus im really glad to see how they're doing and how they're slowly but surely getting to where they'd like to be! not really looking forward to the 8 hour trip with my parents, then the 2 hour treck back to orlando for our flight.
