>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>WHERE'S JOHNNY JET?<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Greetings! I just returned from an action packed week of traveling around the U.S.  I did the ol' triangle ticket: JFK-LAX-MCO-JFK (If you don't know your airport codes, shame on you. Translated: New York-Los Angeles- Orlando- New York).
Many of you complained that last week's newsletter was lame because their weren't that many pictures, well you asked for it! This week I am posting over 25! So get ready to click!
Last week I wrote the newsletter from the plane ride to MCO. So I begin this week's newsletter from hot, humid, and sticky Orlando! We arrived around dinner time, jumped in a phat (volvo) rental car from Hertz, and drove to the Sheraton World Resort.  I booked this trip from the Hotel banner on Johnny Jet, the cost was a mere $75 a night. When they say up to 70% off, they mean it. When we checked in, the front desk agent looked at the price and said "Dang! Everyone else is paying at least $179." Just goes to show why you should tell all your friends to check out www.JohnnyJet.com.
We quickly unpacked and headed to one of my favorite restaurants in Orlando, Bahama Breeze. After a couple Strawberry Beaches (this virgin drink ranks up next to a Lava Flow from Dukes in Hawaii),  and dinner we headed down International drive to go back to our hotel. As you can see Int'l drive is full of tourist spots, including that upside down building.
Thursday we finished with our work early and headed over to where you are supposed to go while in Orlando- a theme park. This time it was Universal's Hard Rock Hotel (can't wait to stay there). Once in the park we checked out a couple of my favorite rides- the Rip Saw and Jurassic Park (we got soaked on both).  I passed on the Incredible Hulk roller coaster and the Spider man ride (just not my thang, you know). To get out of the park you have to go through Universal's City Walk (it's like the one in L.A., but a lot smaller). If you go down to Orlando make sure you check out the new Orlando Portal we made. We were in Florida for only 2 nights then back up the coast to NYC/CT. We booked our flight home on the semi-new low fare airline: Jet Blue.  I like Jet Blue's attitude.  They fly only brand new A320's and they're real flexible about changing dates ($25 change fee compared to the big boys $100). They also have free live TV (24 cable channels) on board (I was watching the weather channel while waiting for the thunder storms to pass). While on the runway for over an hour, the flight attendants came by with bottled water, which I thought was pretty cool. The only bummer was we were so hungry and the snack they served was a choice of: Bagel Chips, Animal cookies or nasty blue potato chips. I was so hungry I almost ate the leather seat cushion.
After we landed I ran over to the snack counter before heading into NYC. I was only there for a few hours then I bolted out to the country to see my family.  Amber came in later that night and she was excited to see me and some fire flies. Fire Flies? In case you have never seen them, my eighth grade description of them is: they are little bugs that light up. We used to catch them as kids (Amber still does), and keep them in a jar with holes in it for days. Enough about insects.
On Sunday morning my brother called saying, "Hurry down to the marina, if you want to spend the day on the boat". Well, of course we wanted to! We cruised to the docks to find my brother struggling to get the boat started. Bummer! The mechanic that my bro is, had it fixed in a matter of minutes, and we were off on a three hour tour, a three hour tour....  We all put lots of sun screen on, and my Dad as usual put on a little bit too much. We were almost out of the harbor when we heard sirens and some cop yelling, "PULL OVER"! Pull over? Where officer? Luckily, my Dad and brother knew the cops and they let us go after they saw our registration and didn't bust Frank for not having a boat license.  Frank was feeling mighty strong after that ordeal, and his girlfriend too. We went out to an area called Manresa to water ski and ran into our old buddy Sam the man (and company).  After a full day on Long Island Sound, we headed back home, so we could relax on land.
That evening before dinner my Dad challenged my buddy Rocco and Amber to a game of Bocce. If you never heard of Bocce, then you're probably not Italian. Anyway, it's a cool game and I will put my Dad up against anyone, he's the champ. We capped the night off by having a picnic while watching Shakespeare on the Sound in Rowayton.  It's free and is still playing until July 1, so head out there.  Warning! If you do go, make sure you bring OFF bug spray because the mosquitos are killers. They bit me so bad, that I lasted about 10 minutes before I ran for cover in the car.

My Dad is Johnny Jet's biggest promoter, no matter where he is he brings newspaper clippings of Johnny Jet and passes them out to friends and strangers. He also puts them on public bulletin boards. He's also always telling me things I should do. Usually they are crazy ideas, but he did come up with one I liked. He told me to do a "Ask Johnny Jet". This is where I can answer one weekly question publicly (I am always getting questions, so why not share them with with everyone).  I can't answer all of the questions I receive,  so please understand. This is the last question I received:
ASK JOHNNY JET
Q>Are there any hotels in airports? Cindy (from ?)

A>Yes there are hotels in many airports in the U.S.. In fact I was in a Hyatt the other day at MCO (Orlando Int'l Airport). Other airport hotels that  I know of are: ORD (Chicago O'Hare has a Hilton), Dallas, and Houston. Keep in mind almost all airports have hotels within a mile.
 

FUNNIEST THING I HEARD ALL WEEK:
Comes from my good friend Rocco Giacco.
When I showed him this Pic and asked him if he liked it, he said "Yeah it's cool, did you take that through the window"? I said "Yeaaaahhh".

TIP OF THE WEEK:   By Chris McGinnis
What to Do When the Weather Does Not Cooperate
In most places, there will be times when Mother Nature just doesn't want to cooperate with your travel plans. So when a winter storm--or summer hurricane--is looming or in full force, keep these tips in mind.
If it is already looking fierce outside, call before you leave for the airport and find out what the status is for your flight. Call your travel agent or the airline's automated arrivals and departure line, or visit the airline's Web site, if available. Don't call the airline's toll-free reservations number for updates--you could be put on hold too long.
Keep your eye on the local news or the Weather Channel, or go to the Web site at www.weather.com or cnn.com/weather to find out if a storm is brewing in your area or destination. If bad weather looks likely, you may not want to leave for the airport until you've checked on your flight.
If you are already at the airport and departure looks unlikely, try to make a reservation at a nearby hotel that offers free shuttle service. Don't wait too long, because airport hotels get booked up as fast as the flights are cancelled.
If it is absolutely essential that you make an out-of-town meeting or presentation when bad weather looms, consider leaving the night before. It is also wise to take a cab or public transportation to the airport if a winter storm is a possibility, so you don't have to worry about digging your car out of the snow.
Bring a snack along in the event that the airport food leaves something to be desired--or worse, in case the airport runs out of food (which has happened during unexpected storms). A bagel, pretzels, or dried fruits and nuts are nutritious, don't spoil, and don't take up a lot of space.
Weather emergencies usually allow for airlines to relax rules when rerouting, changing, or cancellation fees are concerned.

Packing Tips For Summer Travelers(From Bestfares.com)
The busy season for travel is upon us, with more Americans vacationing this time of year. Stay ahead of the travel game by planning wisely and avoiding problems later down the road. Pack your bags early (and correctly) so that you don't have bags under your eyes when beginning your trip this spring and summer.
The travel guides and groups claim that mispacking is a major source of frustration for stressed out travelers. To help ease your minds and reduce your frustrations, here are some luggage handling tips you can use before you leave.

• Packing light is a key idea to keep in mind and perhaps your mantra to chant while attempting to stuff your suitcase. Test your packing skills and ease of maneuverability by walking around with your luggage. Make certain you can manage it through airports, stairs and in vehicles. Breathable fabrics like linen, cotton and polyester/nylon mixes can be packed the tightest and are light and easy to wear. Keep in mind that you may be coming back with more items than you left with, such as souvenirs. An extra space of about 15 percent is a good rule of thumb.
• Packing clothing that can be mixed and matched will go a long way to cover your bases. A few versatile outfits can greatly expand your wardrobe without vying for an enormous amount of packing space. Solid colors tend to go well with numerous garments and may not show dirt as easily as others. Wrinkle resistant and wrinkle proof fabrics minimize the need for an iron.
• Pack materials that will suit all kinds of weather. You never know when an unexpected storm can pop up to put a damper on your day. A waterproof jacket will suffice for rain and the cold. A space-saving fold-up umbrella that opens to full-size is an especially handy accessory.
• It is not a good idea to carry large sums of cash on you. Traveler's checks, credit, debit and ATM cards are better and give you more protection. It is safer to only withdraw money in $100 increments as needed.
• Keep toiletries and other personal items packed separately to avoid a mess. Re-sealable bags and sturdy, spill-proof cases can work wonders, especially if placed in a multi-sectioned overnight kit. If you would rather not keep up with shampoo, soap and other sundries, most hotels furnish them or they are easily available in gift shops and most discount stores.
