0:01 Oh, yeah, we're boarding now.

0:03 Flight closing.

0:04 Oh, no.

0:06 [music] [music]

0:13 Travel vlog gone wrong, bro.

0:18 [music]

0:20 Hi guys, it's Nicole and welcome back to my channel.

0:22 Happy travel day.

0:24 We are Italia bound.

0:26 Let's go to Italy, everyone.

0:33 [music] [music] [music] [music]

1:05 Testing, [music] testing, 1 2 3.

1:07 Get it, get it, get it.

1:07 Ciao bella, ciao bella.

1:09 That is the only Italian I know,

1:11 so we're going to have to learn some more words this trip.

1:13 But hello, vlog.

1:14 Now that we're a little more situated at the airport,

1:16 we went through TSA and security.

1:17 We passed.

1:18 Also went to the Centurion Lounge, got some food, got some work done.

1:21 Super productive hour there.

1:22 And then we just arrived at the gate.

1:24 But I thought I would talk to you guys

1:25 a little bit before we get onto the plane.

1:27 First of all, we're [music] going to Italy.

1:28 Your girl's so excited.

1:29 It's going to be a pretty long travel day, though.

1:31 We have our first flight to London and just a quick layover there,

1:34 and then we head to Rome.

1:35 So, I think it's going to be like an almost 24-hour travel day.

1:38 So, of course I wanted to bring you guys along and do a travel vlog.

1:41 Also, who noticed?

1:42 New mic.

1:43 Finally invested in some really good quality [music] mics,

1:46 and this is the first video that I'm trying them out.

1:47 So, hopefully it's going well.

1:49 Oh, it's time to board.

1:50 Let's go to Italy.

1:53 [music] I just got fancy.

2:00 Oh my gosh, you guys.

2:01 Okay, so I'm flying business class, which is freaking insane.

2:05 I'm so grateful.

2:06 Like I Also, side note, we're flying British Airways,

2:10 [music] and so all the flight attendants have British accents.

2:13 I love a good British accent.

2:14 But, shall we do a room a room tour?

2:17 I was about to say room tour.

2:18 Let's do an airplane seat tour.

2:20 Welcome to seats 19K.

2:23 This is what she looks like.

2:24 I got a window seat,

2:25 and it's so nice because it's kind of tucked away in the little corner.

2:27 Oh, so sorry.

2:28 But, you walk in.

2:29 She's very spacious.

2:30 We have a pillow on the seat.

2:32 Oh, she's fluffy.

2:33 As well as a blanket.

2:34 Sleep well in the sky.

2:36 That I will be doing.

2:37 Oh my gosh.

2:38 I'm about to knock out.

2:38 Also, some headphones.

2:40 And then we have this side.

2:41 I put my bag.

2:42 Yeah, she's stocked.

2:43 We'll get into her a little bit later.

2:44 And then over here, we have a water bottle, a mirror, and then also this pouch.

2:49 Definitely going to bring this one with me and use it for myself.

2:51 But, let's see what's inside.

2:53 Oh, yay, a sleeping mask.

2:54 I actually got one myself, but maybe I'll use this, too.

2:56 She cute.

2:56 Some socks, toothbrush and toothpaste.

2:58 This is handy because it's a long flight.

3:01 What is this?

3:01 Lavender, clary sage, and I think you just smell it.

3:04 Mmm, that's yummy.

3:06 Some earplugs.

3:07 Oh, wow, some moisturizer and lip balm.

3:09 And look how cute they are.

3:10 That's freaking adorable.

3:11 Here it is.

3:12 We love Hello Kitty essentials bag.

3:13 Here are the controls for the lay flat seat.

3:15 And then we have a TV.

3:17 Oh, 10 hours remaining.

3:19 Nice.

3:19 Movie, TV, games.

3:22 Love to see it.

3:22 And then finally, look how much legroom I have.

3:25 They just came around with some champagne and orange juice,

3:27 as well as our menus.

3:28 I obviously got orange juice.

3:30 Cheers.

3:32 And then here's the menu.

3:33 Club World.

3:36 Our British original menu.

3:37 Mmm, salmon, beef short rib, grilled prawns.

3:41 Oh my gosh, hey, wow.

3:46 Well, I just can't wait to eat on this plane.

3:48 Okay, I'm going to get myself situated a little bit more,

3:50 take off my shoes, make my bed, maybe lay out a few of my things.

3:53 Let's get comfy, shall we?

3:58 [music] [music] You guys.

4:23 I'm on an airplane right now.

4:25 This is so cool.

4:27 What is life?

4:34 All right, you guys.

4:35 It's getting a little toasty, so I took my hoodie off.

4:37 But, I'll put it back on.

4:41 Boarding is now complete.

4:42 I should have filmed my outfit when I

4:43 was actually in the airport, but it's fine.

4:44 You guys can see my shirt.

4:45 Look how cute.

4:46 It's from Princess Polly and it's like a little postcard from Italy.

4:48 And it says my favorite phrase, "Ciao bella." Before we take off,

4:51 let's do a what's in my carry-on bag because

4:53 I packed her to the brim for this trip.

4:55 And all the stuff that's inside is how I'm

4:56 going to survive the seat on this 10-hour flight.

4:59 So, let's begin.

5:00 First things first, this is actually my mommy's tote bag.

5:02 Thanks, mommy, for letting me borrow it.

5:03 It can fit so much and I personally had a lot to bring,

5:06 so of course I have my marshmallow jelly cat keychain.

5:08 Christian got me this for Christmas.

5:10 They're so cute.

5:11 And no better way than to begin with food.

5:13 My mom packed us sandwiches before we left.

5:15 I love her sandwiches.

5:16 They're turkey, spinach, cheese, mustard mayo, all that good stuff.

5:20 And then snacks.

5:21 Some Trolli gummy worms, Flaming Hot Cheetos, and Fruit Roll-Ups.

5:23 They have hearts on them.

5:24 I will be grubbing.

5:25 Next, we have my headphones.

5:26 I love these because of the noise canceling

5:28 and I plan on doing work on my laptop.

5:30 I have a whole video to edit, so that will definitely be keeping me busy.

5:33 I also have my water bottle, which my dad filled up in the lounge and stuff.

5:36 I feel like I'm going to get dehydrated on this flight,

5:37 so good thing I have this.

5:39 Oh, and there's a water bottle if I run out, so I can refill it.

5:41 This bag has all of my glasses, my actual glasses with prescription.

5:45 I always wear them when I'm in airports

5:47 to read the signs because I'm nearsighted and so if

5:49 I don't wear them then everything is very blurry

5:51 but when I'm just showing I don't need to.

5:52 And then I also have two pairs of sunglasses.

5:54 I got these Oakley's as well as these Double

5:59 Sole I brought my journal of course.

6:01 If you know you know.

6:02 Daily journaling has been one of my hobbies I wanted to instill in my 2026

6:05 and I haven't missed a day so of course I had to bring her with me.

6:08 I'll probably do some prompts when the flight's going.

6:11 Next we have an essentials bag.

6:12 Look how cute this is.

6:13 I got it from Tree Hut TR and it's perfect for traveling.

6:16 It literally says on the bag boarding pass.

6:18 I also love the hot pink cuz but we got all the goods in here.

6:21 I just thought of all the things I think I would need on a flight

6:23 and I packed it in here so starting off with some eye patches.

6:26 I brought my Rhode ones.

6:27 Should we put some on right now?

6:28 Yeah, we should.

6:29 I got these for Christmas and I actually haven't used one because I wanted

6:32 to save it for a special occasion and this is definitely a special occasion.

6:35 Oh, help.

6:35 I hope they last a while because these bad boys are expensive.

6:38 a very good afternoon to you all and a very warm

6:40 welcome on board this British Airways operated triple 7-300 from Los Angeles.

6:44 Your flight is direct to Saturday.

6:47 So I'm in the flight deck in charge of the flight deck and Yeah, yeah.

6:49 As you remember let me believe everybody's now on board.

6:52 We're just finishing off the last batch.

6:53 It's 10 hours and 10 minutes and maybe a few little light breezes this evening.

6:59 Okay, I think we're leaving soon so I'm going to try to do this kind of fast.

7:01 Wait, but I love the eye patches.

7:03 They're really cute.

7:03 I brought my travel skincare from Summer Fridays.

7:06 I also got these on Christmas and haven't used them yet and so

7:08 we'll do these later on the flight but there's the hydration mask,

7:11 the mask and then also the serum.

7:12 So fun.

7:13 Got some mini makeup wipes a hairbrush and hair ties,

7:16 some hair clips and cloth clips,

7:17 my pill box with all of these medicines, Tylenol,

7:20 Dayquil, Nyquil, my daily vitamins as well, some nasal spray.

7:23 Sometimes your nose gets a little sneezy especially

7:25 on flights so got to do a little of that.

7:26 Touchland hand sanitizer.

7:28 Got to keep clean.

7:30 Some L'Occitane hand cream.

7:31 Got to stay moisturized.

7:32 I love this one.

7:33 Smells like roses.

7:34 Yum yum yum.

7:35 Two lipies, a Cocokind lip balm and then a Charlotte Tilbury lip gloss.

7:38 I will reapply right now.

7:40 Okay.

7:41 What else do I have?

7:42 Oh, an eyelash curler.

7:43 I have clusters on right now though, so I'm going to try not to use that.

7:46 Some nail clippers, like I said, if I need it, I have it.

7:49 Tide to Go pen, knowing me, I'm going to spill something on myself.

7:52 Some Kayali perfume, this is the vanilla 28 one.

7:56 Goodbye.

7:56 Oh my gosh, I really just sprayed it on the window.

7:59 Oh, shoot.

7:59 Wait, isn't it kind of bad if you spray perfume?

8:02 Okay, I'm not going to do it.

8:03 And then last but not least,

8:03 I think are my pens and some whiteout in my journal.

8:06 I got my pretty Sharpie copper gel pen.

8:08 I got this over the weekend when I was with them.

8:10 And that is everything in my essentials bag.

8:12 But there's more.

8:13 I have another bag in my bag.

8:15 This is my electronics bag.

8:16 It's so cute.

8:17 It's from White Fox.

8:17 It's got hearts all over it.

8:18 But inside here, I have my Kindle to get some reading in.

8:22 This bag in my bag in my bag little end pouch, my big actually got this for me.

8:26 So cute.

8:26 my digital camera.

8:27 I got this case for it, super cute.

8:29 It's pink, duh.

8:30 I also have my adapter to upload the photos on my phone,

8:33 an extra battery for this camera, and then a portable charger.

8:35 Then I have a regular charger, and then last but not least, my microphones.

8:38 But actually last but finally not least, my bag and my sleeping mask.

8:42 You guys know I have to bring the reindeer sleeping mask.

8:43 This with this, you all will be out.

8:45 Oh, and of course I have like my wallet and my passport and everything.

8:48 That is everything in my carry-on bag.

8:50 Oh my seat's a mess, so let me go clean this up.

8:52 But if you couldn't tell,

8:53 I'm definitely not going to be bored on this flight cuz I have so much to do.

9:03 [music] And we are up in the air, everyone.

9:09 Flight attendants have unlocked the doors,

9:11 so I think it should be about to Psych.

9:22 I'm going to try my very best to stay awake.

9:24 Usually on flights, I fall asleep like that once we take off,

9:27 but I'm going to wait until the food comes out so I don't miss it,

9:29 and then I'll let myself fall asleep later.

9:31 So I think I'm going to put on a movie,

9:32 maybe read on my Kindle for a little bit,

9:34 and fingers crossed that I don't know her yet.

9:40 [music] [music] So, dinner is served.

9:50 Ah, it's been a little bit though.

9:51 I think it's getting to be a little darker.

9:53 It's sunset and it's about to be night time.

9:55 But, started courses came out.

9:57 Got the smoked salmon avocado as well as a salad and some bread and butter.

10:01 Smells really good.

10:03 Let's try.

10:04 Guys, I'm also thinking 50 First Dates.

10:06 It's one of my favorite Adam Sandler movies.

10:09 So good.

10:10 That's great.

10:13 Thank you, Lord, for this flight.

10:14 Thank you for the food.

10:15 Amen.

10:16 Ooh, so cute.

10:17 Cheers, everyone.

10:24 Good.

10:24 I love salmon.

10:25 I love avocado.

10:28 Some bread, butter.

10:29 Cheers.

10:30 [bell] Thank you.

10:35 And for my main course, I got the beef short rib.

10:37 This looks divine.

10:39 Cheers.

10:44 So much potatoes and vegetables as well.

10:47 Yummy.

10:48 Okay, but while we're here,

10:49 let me announce to you guys I'm actually going to Italy.

10:51 A few of you might have been wondering like, "Well,

10:53 what is this trip even for?" Well, first of all, it's for work.

10:55 I was invited to attend the Love Me Love Me movie premiere in Rome.

10:59 It's so crazy to say.

11:00 But, Love Me Love Me is a book and it's being adapted into a movie.

11:03 It comes out in February actually, I think.

11:04 By the time this video is up, the movie should be out on Amazon Prime.

11:07 So, totally check it out.

11:08 But, I was selected as one of the creators

11:10 to help promote the movie and attend the actual premiere.

11:13 So, that's why we're heading to Rome.

11:14 I am so freaking excited.

11:16 I downloaded Love Me Love Me on my Kindle and so

11:18 that's what I've been reading for the past few days.

11:20 It's so good so far and I can't wait to finish it.

11:21 I'm trying to before the premiere.

11:23 But, I am so excited for this trip.

11:24 We're also going to Venice after we hit Rome.

11:26 And just how freaking cool to attend an international movie premiere.

11:30 But, you guys already know I'm going to be filming the whole trip,

11:32 so stay tuned for more Italy content after this video.

11:35 And if you want to check out my other socials at Nicole Laeno,

11:37 I'm probably posting a bunch on there as well.

11:39 But yeah, that is the reason why I'm heading to Italy.

11:41 Okay, I'm going to grab now though.

11:43 Oh, what?

11:44 Guys, I literally called it.

11:46 Tide to Go pen.

11:47 Knowing me, I'm going to spill something on myself.

11:49 I just spilled this soda on my shirt.

11:51 Good thing I have my Tide to Go pen in here.

11:53 I need to stop doing that.

11:55 I always spill on myself when I eat.

11:56 Tide to Go pen to the rescue.

11:58 Of course on my white shirt.

12:00 Like uh.

12:04 [music] Oh, little turbulence.

12:09 Okay, let's do dessert I guess.

12:11 Ah, I'll put the lotion on my dessert.

12:15 All right.

12:18 Help me.

12:19 And finally for dessert, I got the passion fruit panna cotta.

12:22 I think that's what it's called.

12:23 Look how cute it is.

12:24 Cheers.

12:28 Woah.

12:32 I don't know how long I've been doing this before.

12:34 Dinner.

12:35 Ah, all right, well, that was a great meal.

12:38 I think you guys know what time it is.

12:40 It's time to go to bed.

12:42 [music] [music] Good morning.

12:53 So, mind the lighting.

12:54 It's a little scary, but we're working with it.

12:56 I think I slept for almost 3 hours.

12:58 I don't know why I just woke up with a lot of energy,

13:00 but my TV says we're a little over halfway.

13:02 There's less than 5 hours remaining of the flight left.

13:05 Woohoo.

13:06 I think now I'll do a few things, but first things first,

13:09 I don't know why you guys, but I really need to eat something sweet right now.

13:12 So, we're going to eat my Fruit Roll-Ups.

13:14 I haven't had one of these in forever.

13:16 They remind me of my childhood.

13:17 Like when my mom was like, "Oh,

13:19 what snacks do you want for the plane?" I wanted to go to Target real quick.

13:21 Fruit Roll-Ups came to mind, so here we are.

13:23 My mouth is watering.

13:24 Smells great already.

13:27 Aw, all right, it's delicious.

13:30 hungry?

13:30 Oh my gosh, I'm not trend where you would put

13:32 ice cream in the middle and then freeze it or something.

13:34 I don't know.

13:35 I tried it though.

13:36 Cheers.

13:40 Yeah.

13:44 It's so dark on the plane right now.

13:46 I think everyone's snoozing.

13:48 I don't know.

13:48 But like I said, I kind of have a lot of energy right now,

13:50 so I'm going to try to be productive.

13:52 Going to do some journaling, reading, and editing.

13:55 So that's what I'm going to do.

13:55 Cheers.

14:04 [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music]

14:50 All right, and unfortunately, my mic did cut out during breakfast time.

14:53 Yeah, still figuring out how to use these.

14:55 But the food was really yummy.

14:57 I got fruit, oatmeal, and a croissant for my first [music] plate,

14:59 as well as a coffee.

15:00 And I was talking about how I hope this would help keep me awake for the rest

15:03 of this travel day because [music] the time

15:04 difference from California to Rome is 9 hours.

15:07 So at the time of this clip, it was 12:30 a.m.

15:09 back home, but 9:30 a.m.

15:11 in Rome.

15:12 Oh my gosh, that [music] rhymes.

15:14 Anyways, here's more clips of me eating.

15:15 The girl loves to eat if you couldn't tell

15:17 from this vlog [music] or any other video on my channel.

15:19 Then I got an American breakfast for my second plate with eggs,

15:22 bacon, sausage, mushrooms, and tomatoes.

15:24 And in this clip, I was talking about how

15:25 much I love breakfast and how I need to eat

15:27 it first thing in the morning or I won't

15:29 be able to function throughout the rest of the day.

15:30 I also finished my coffee.

15:31 Yay.

15:32 Okay, I think you're all caught up.

15:33 So, with the last hour of this flight,

15:35 I'm going to use this time to freshen up before

15:37 I'm not able to get out of my seat anymore.

15:38 So, I'm going to grab the little pouch I think it was.

15:43 Head to the bathroom, brush my teeth, wash my face, freshen up,

15:46 and then just getting ready to get back at my seat.

15:47 Let's go.

15:57 [music] [music] [music]

16:25 We are now landing in London.

16:28 What an amazing flight that was.

16:29 Wow.

16:30 Hello.

16:30 Hello.

16:31 Flight number one is done.

16:32 We have touched down in London.

16:34 I thought we had a longer layover here, but we're actually boarding right now.

16:37 So, I got split up from my parents again.

16:39 We weren't even sitting next to each other on the first flight

16:42 and then something happened during security where

16:43 we just got split into different lines.

16:45 So, I'm trying to meet them at the gate and I think we're boarding.

16:48 Oh, yeah.

16:49 We're boarding now.

16:50 Flight closing.

16:51 Oh, no.

16:53 Oh my gosh.

17:00 We made it.

17:00 All is well.

17:01 Oh my gosh, that was so stressful.

17:03 Basically, we landed our first flight at maybe

17:05 like 10:15 and then this flight leaves at 11:15,

17:08 which means it started boarding probably around like 10:40.

17:11 And I guess I forget this every single time,

17:13 but when you have a connecting flight internationally,

17:15 like you still have to go through TSA cuz I

17:17 thought we were just going to like walk to our gate.

17:19 Then I was like, "Oh shoot, we have to go through all of our bags again."

17:21 And then that's when I got split up with my parents.

17:23 And then it was just a whole thing.

17:24 But we ran and we made it.

17:26 I have another window seat, which is nice.

17:28 My parents are a few rows behind, so I'm not sitting with them again,

17:30 but as long as we're all on the plane.

17:32 Oh my gosh, imagine if we got split up and we were literally in different

17:36 [laughter] different cities.

17:37 Like my parents got stuck in London and I was in Rome.

17:39 Travel vlog gone wrong for real.

17:41 But this should be a very easy flight.

17:42 I think it's around 2 hours.

17:44 So I think I'm going to try to edit it.

17:45 I did finish Love Me Love Me on the first flight and it was really good.

17:49 from the flight deck again,

17:50 a very warm welcome aboard this British Airways Airbus A320 to Rome.

17:55 Like I was saying, I finished the book.

17:56 It was really good and I'm so excited to see how they turned it into a movie.

17:59 But I'm going to get some editing done on this flight

18:01 and [music] I will see you guys in Italy.

18:08 Ciao bella.

18:10 Buongiorno.

18:11 Oh, what does that mean?

18:12 Uh I think Guys, we're in Italy.

18:16 We made it.

18:16 Now it's time to go through the whole process of customs and baggage claim.

18:20 Really hoping none of our bags are lost.

18:22 I don't think they will be, but it's just happened to me before.

18:24 We also had to check in our carry-on luggages because

18:27 by the time we got to our second flight, it was full.

18:30 So we couldn't keep them on the plane.

18:31 So yeah, just hoping all of our stuff is still there.

18:33 But I'm so happy we're here.

18:38 Italy!

18:41 Okay, [laughter] guys, look.

18:44 I get to face my parents.

18:47 Oh, yes.

18:48 I need to brush my teeth.

18:49 Ew.

18:51 [laughter] Kiss me.

18:51 No, thanks.

18:52 More words are coming back.
