Our Flying Experience

Before we left for Florida Nick and I decided we would share a suitcase. We only wanted to pay for one bag. Because we decided to share I also decided to bring my purse for an extra carry-on. Everyone is allowed one personal item like a purse and a carry-on like a back pack. So we get to the airport and we go and check in. The guy checking us in turns to me and tells me I am only allowed one bag. I look at him confused and a little annoyed. I was thinking to myself "Um no... this isn't my first rodeo." But I said to him, "My purse is my personal item and my back pack is my carry- on." And then he tells me. That everyone is only allowed a personal item and they have to pay for carry-ons!! I was not happy. So I shoved my purse in Alex's carry-on. Then he turns to Nicks mom. And tells her the same thing. And then tells her that her carry-on is too big and will have to be checked in. Right after we saw him let a man go by with a HUGE carry-on way bigger then Nicks moms. So we kind of put up a fit. So he was all fine measure it here to see of its too big. So we put it up to the measure thing... sure enough it was too big... by less than an inch! So he told us you can risk it and see if the flight attendants make you check it in. But he kept telling us we might as well check it in now. But we didn't. And guess what it was fine. Then it took him about another 15 min to get our tickets figured out. Everyone behind us in line was mad at us. Um hello... this guy sucks!

So then we get on the plane. And the flight attendants tell us they will be coming around to give us our complementary drinks.... oh for $2.00. Wait what?? Complementary drinks are complementary that means free. Not with Frontier. I'm sorry am not about to pay $2.00 for a can of pop. When I can get a huge fountain drink from Burger King for $1.00. They don't even give out water for free! Lucky for me I had a drink I got in the airport with me. They took forever to take off and we had a connecting flight that we had to run to.

That was just our flight to Florida... our flight home went like this. Lucky us we flew with United on our way home. So we got a carry-on and personal item. And we got free drinks. But we had a connecting flight in Chicago. We had a hour lay over. That turned into over a 2 hour lay over because of bad weather. So we finally get on the plane. And then we are waiting forever because the run ways were backed up because of the weather. They ended up flying us to Denver. When we got into Denver we had missed the last flight into Salt Lake. So United gave us coupons for a hotel. But we didn't have any of our luggage or anything. Luckily in my carry-on I had a change of clothes for me and Nick. And my hair stuff. The hotel supplied us with Shampoo... Toothbrush and other hygiene things. The next morning we had to wake up super early to catch our shuttle to the airport. I was a little said we missed our flight in Denver and not in Chicago. ha.

So here is the lesson I hope you get from this... DO NOT fly Frontier. There might not be a perfect airline out there. Things happen. Weather happens. But there are airlines that are better than Frontier. They are just a joke!!

Florida 2013

Nick and I had so much fun on our trip to Florida. Before I get into it let me first say... DO NOT fly Frontier Airlines! They are a joke! Anyway....We got into Florida really late Saturday night. Then we woke up bright and early Sunday and went to Hollywood Studios. It was so much fun!! I loved Rockin Roller Coaster! I also liked The Great Movie Ride... or something like that. It was like a ride and a show all in one. Rylee was so funny during the ride. She thought the show was real life. It was hilarious. The whole atmosphere of Hollywood Studios was pretty awesome.

After Hollywood we went to Epcot. It was cool and interesting seeing all the different countries. I especially loved seeing the countries that I actually have been to. It was fun trying all the different foods and just exploring. The next day we started the day off in Epcot too. Did more exploring and rode some rides. 

After Epcot we went to The Magic Kingdom. I loved the Magic Kingdom. I loved it because it was the Disneyland that I know and I love. But different. I loved all the fall decorations! I was in love with all of it! We spent the the next night there too. SO. MUCH. FUN.

Day three we spent most of it at  the Animal Kingdom. That was pretty dang awesome. It was Nicks favorite park. It was cool cause it was the Zoo mixed with rides! We loved it! Expedition Everest was awesome!! We rode it like six times that day. We went on a safari! ha. 

The next day we had a day off. And we needed it. We were so worn out. We just hung out by the pool.   And went mini golfing and drank pina coladas. It got us well rested for Universal Studios the next two days.  

Island of Adventure was amazing!! I loved Harry Potter Land! And Butterbeer was so good! The rides we so awesome! I can't say enough good things about it! The other rides and "lands" in Universal were fun too. The Hulk was pretty dang fast and crazy. And I have never got so wet on any rides before. We got SOAKED. But I can't say it enough... I loved Harry Potter! 

Our last day we went to the Universal Studios. It was a day full of shows and rides. And we ended it at the Hard Rock. Of course. The perfect way to end the trip. 

The flight home is a whole other story!!
