Hello from my favorite airport!
Why is the super small Jacksonville airport my absolute favorite?
Let me count the ways!
- Free wifi
- Outlets everywhere
- Three Starbucks so there’s never a long line for coffee
- Super fast security
- Inexpensive on-site parking
Traveling in and out of the Jacksonville airport is (knock on wood) a breeze, but the only downside is the lack of direct flights. Fortunately today I snagged a direct flight to NYC, so I am in travel heaven!
I am off to New York for an exciting event with Reebok. I’ve loved every event I’ve had the pleasure of attending with the company and feel grateful for the opportunity to travel and participate in another fun shoe launch. I’m excited to bring you guys along for the ride!
Workout + Breakfast
My morning began bright and early with a quick workout. I did my 20 minute hotel room workout at my parents’ place since I knew I’d be sitting for quite a while today and wanted to shake out my legs before lots of plane time.
Once I was done, I was in a bit of a hurry to shower, pack up some last-minute belongings and fly out the door.
The first part of my breakfast was enjoyed in the security line.
My favorite KIND bar! The almond coconut flavor is the best.
I also chugged the 32 ounces of water I brought with me in my giant Nalgene water bottle and am hoping I don’t explode on the plane. Thank goodness I have an aisle seat!
Once I made it through security, I stopped by Starbucks for a vanilla cappuccino and a yogurt parfait.
And now it’s time to board! See you crazy kids from NYC!

I love those KIND bars too! Great combo with a vanilla latte 🙂
Happy flying!
Have a great flight! Multiple Starbucks is always a plus!
KIND bars are so yummy!
Have a safe trip to NYC!
I am chuckling because my travel routine is exactly the same! Chug water before the flight, coffee after security, and make sure to have a few Kind bars, that I inevitably eat in random places like the security line 🙂 Have a safe flight!
I love the Starbucks yogurt parfaits such an awesome yummy treat. Have fun in NYC!
My friend Heather will be there!!!! :)) have a great time!!
Kind bars are so yummy! Have you tried the chocolate peanut butter? It’s delicious!!!!
You should try to take Sydney’s SoulCycle class while you’re here- she is amazing!
I want one of those wide mouth Nalgene bottles! I have a 32-oz narrow mouth bottle, and it helps me so much to make sure I’m drinking enough water. I’d like a wide-mouth one so I can put ice or fruit in my water. Have fun in NYC!
Safe travels!! I, too, LOVE the Starbucks fruit and yogurt parfaits!
Sounds like the most perfect airport! Have a safe trip!
I LOVE the almond coconut KIND bar!!
Did you get that parfait at Starbucks? The parfaits at the Starbucks I go to don’t look like that and are pretty heavy on sugar 🙁 I almost count then as a treat!
Have a safe flight. I’m excited to hear about this Reebok event!
You can never go wrong with Starbucks! I’m addicted to their skinny mocha lattes, so delicious 🙂
I make it a sport to find all the Starbucks’ in airports, but my favorite airport is Charlotte-Douglas because it has a Jamba Juice, and I can usually get a treat on my way out of town!
What color/brand is your nail polish? It is beautiful!
That is the exact breakfast I had at the airport on Thursday morning. Sugar rush, for sure. 😉
Such pretty happy nail color! Do you know the color and brand? Love it. It screams SPRING!!
Have a great time in NYC — I’m headed there next week & can’t wait!
i feel like ALL airports should have free wifi at this point.. i know they don’t though… st louis in particular… so frustrating! haha
Safe travels!
Coconut kind bars are the best! The Syracuse, NY airport had free wifi and I never thought something to simple could bring me so much joy.
You are a traveling machine! Have a safe flight 🙂
I love that airport as well and even more so now that Southwest is flying into it : )
Love those KIND bars. They are even better when I spread almond butter on top.
Finding open outlets at an airport is like finding GOLD. So jealous you have access to an airport with so much GOLD! Safe travels.
The almond coconut KIND bar is definitely my favorite too!
I just found your blog and i’m having so much fun reading it! I can relate to so many things. I just started running last year and ran two 5 km races. This year i’m aiming for a 10 km race. I was never a runner but I moved to a new city last year and found that it was such a fun way to discover the city. I absolutely love it now. I’m really enjoying being challenged by your treadmill intervals (first time trying intervals!) and other running tips. I also just got engaged this fall so i’m loving the wedding ideas/tips/crafts etc. I also love your recipes. They are healthy but realistic. I like how you still eat carbs and sweets but mostly stick to lots of protein, fruits and veggies. You really seem to apply the 80/20 rule well in your life. Thanks and keep being awesome!

Have a great trip! I love our local airport too. It may be small and lack direct flights but when we can fly out of there, it’s so easy.
<3 I work for an airport association and so today's post especially stuck out to me! I also happen to know some folks at the airport, so I shared it with their communications team! Safe travels!
Love KIND Bars!! Be safe travelling!!
Love that KindBar flavor! Definitely the best one. Enjoy NYC/the Reebok event!
Sounds like fun! I’ve never been on a plane! I would love to at some point. Traveling is so incredible!
I hate it when airports don’t have free wifi! It makes waiting for flights so much more enjoyable and Starbucks without a line is always a plus!
Have the greatest time in NYC! Loveee those Kind bars!
I always get starbucks and the yogurt parfait!! A perfect snack for a morning flight. Have fun in NYC!
The dark chocolate peanut kind bar is the best! They have so many good flavors!
Have a safe flight! Looking forward to hearing about the event! LOVE the nails…Shellac? Gelish?
I love KIND bars….so satisfying. Have fun in NYC!!
you are a traveling machine!!
I love that airport because if you look at the satellite map of it on Google Earth, it looks like an airplane 🙂
So I’m slightly obsessed with your nail polish. What color is it? 🙂
Have a safe flight!

Have a safe flight and enjoy NY!
Have a safe trip to NYC! Living in a town with a small airport, I feel your pain on the no direct flights thing.
I love those Kind bars! Sea salt and dark chocolate is good too, have a safe trip!
LOVE the almond coconut KIND bar…it’s my fav! I tell people it tastes like a macaroon! I’m a KIND brand ambassador so happy to see you love KIND. Great bars and great company.
I love the yogurts from Starbucks. They are my favorite airport treat. And the caffeine too 🙂
