DETROIT...... a flight attendant vlog

- Welcome back to another flight attendant layover vlog, this time in Detroit, Michigan! I personally love motor city. From Motown, to the influence and history of motor vehicles, the city of Detroit has so much to offer. Not to mention some of the coolest locals I've ever encountered. I made my way over to the Henry Ford museum on this layover to see all the old cars, trains, and airplanes. The experience felt like the closest one can get to time travel.

Thanks for saying good things about Detroit.
Always!
Welcome to Detroit. Next check out the restored Detroit train station.
Ooh thanks!
Thank you for giving us some props. Lifelong Detroit resident here. I think a lot of people sleep on Motown, but we have great people, amazing food and world class history. I’m gonna like and subscribe just for your kind words about the city.
Thank you so much!! I ❤️ Detroit
You have a new follow from Detroit ! ❤😊
Yayy welcome! I’m getting so much love from Detroiters!
I am glad you went to the Ford Museum; I enjoyed looking at the vintage aircraft, cars (especially being driven on the property). I remember as a kid my family spent nights at the Holiday Inn so that old Holiday Inn sign brought back memories to me.
It was so cute!
Best childhood memory of visiting my aunt in Detroit: Henry Ford museum and Greenfield Village.
On my bucket list to return as an adult
You can take a 4 hour class on how to drive a model t. Then if you pass the class they take you to this huge parking lot and you get to drive around for about an hr.
The Ford museum was one of the best museums I've ever been to
The Motown museum is worth the cheaper cost too. I think in a few years they're expanding
Wow, I remember when you did a vlog in December of 2021 which was all about a layover in Detroit!!! You wore that big fluffy down jacket!!! 🧥 I am glad you went to the museum it is a pretty cool place, plus 10 k subscribers!!! Stay awesome and safe in the sky young lady!!! 👍✌🤠✈
Yes that was a great layover!
I recently applied for several FA jobs and found your channel when I was doing some research. Your vlogs inspired me to apply with several airlines. I have a video interview soon and a F2F later this month. I’m also a native Detroiter. 🎉❤
I love to hear that you’re gonna do great!!
I'm from Detroit and lived downtown and around there - Madcap is the best! Thank you for saying nice things about Detroit 😊
I remember your first Detroit video. Both of these show some really great things about Detroit and the immediate area.
Thank you! I hope I did the city some justice it deserves l!
You should get the annual pass for the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village. It's $150 for a companion pass. You can go whenever you are in town and you get to bring someone else with you. It's worth it if you go a few times a year. Been going for years and there is always something I didn't see before.
I’m in Detroit! I highly recommend checking out the Michigan central station, it’s newly renovated and awesome
I need to check that out!
I love your endless energy! And unlike many flight attendants, I appreciate that you don’t have fillers everywhere. Your goal of focusing on yourself and becoming the best version of yourself is so sweet. I hope you always have wonderful flights, and never let anyone steal your beautiful energy! 🧡
Vera, I love that you find such unique/beautiful places in the cities. ❤
Thank you I really try!
Great video. I am from Detroit. At the Henry Ford Museum, did you see the vehicle that Kennedy was assassinated in? They also have the chair Lincoln was assassinated in. Morbid, but it's a real part of history when you visit this museum. But it's so big, I can understand if you missed it.
I somehow missed those!
@@BalancedFlyerKennedy car is right near the entrance. Lincoln chair was in the middle of the museum
Yes Greenfield Village is amazing and it’s not that far from Detroit you have to do the museum and the village on separate days. So glad you got to go.
Good on you, Vera! I've been watching your vids since the beginning. You are such a ray of sunshine and positivity that cheers me up. Thank you!!
Thank makes me so happy to hear!
I'm a native Detroiter (I live in Seattle now) and I loved seeing this blog! So glad you enjoyed my hometown! Funny...I don't think I've ever been to the Henry Ford Museum lol. My absolute fav museum as a kid was the Detroit Historical Museum. It's such a cool museum that chronicles the history of Detroit. The Detroit Institute of Arts is also a must see if you haven't been. My immediate family lives in FL and I don't get to Detroit often, so I really loved seeing this little piece of it. Thank you! :)
Aw I love that!! I definitely want to check out the other museums another time!
Ok, here’s a weird fact about the Henry Ford museum. It has the chair that Lincoln was shot in as well as the car that Kennedy was shot in. Like I said, a weird fact. Thanks for showing Detroit in a positive light (love that you were singing Motown in your head as you were there). The city gets a lot of negativity so it’s appreciated.
Yes I truly love Detroit! I can’t wait to go back ☺️
Yay, for your kind words about Detroit!!
Dear Vera, I loved this Detroit video!!! Of course Detroit has a special place in my heart since I lived there for 3 years!!! Thank you for showing such awesome places😄😄❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕
I love seeing your adventures, Ms Vera. I travel vicariously with you! Take care & be safe.
Thank you 😊
From Detroit: thanks for seeing the HFM! I always loved the "big train" and the Rosa Parks bus. During the crowd strike meltdown I got to enjoy BOS for 3 days. Love Boston!
I’m glad you enjoyed your time in Boston!
Next time you are in Detroit and staying in the downtown area I would highly recommend touring the Piquette plant. It's in Detroit and not nearly as far away as the Henry Ford. It is where Henry Ford originally started the Ford Motor Company and where he first started building the model T before moving the the assembly line in Highland Park. I would highly recommend getting the guided tour because the tour guides really make the experience better & are super knowledgeable.
That’s good to know thank you so much!!
It’s so funny watching someone film your city! Loved seeing your pov
I’m glad you enjoyed it 😊
You only live once you should enjoy yourself I would love to see the Ford museum.You always look awesome Vera stay safe out there.
Aww thank you!!
Great vlog Vera. Loved the music during the Henry Ford museum montage😊😊😊😊
Thanks so much! 😊
A couple of cool things to do downtown is Campus Martius park & the Detroit Riverwalk. A fun way to get around downtown is either the QLINE streetcar or the People Mover. Belle Isle is one of a kind & def. worrh a visit too. You also have to check out the renovated Central Train Station. It is spectacular! Glad you enjoyed your visit again in Detroit! We welcome having people visit & enjoy all the city has to offer esp. in the summer & fall.
Thank you for all your recommendations!
The food prepping seems to be a part time gig what requires lots of planning and discipline. Great video. Loved the museum shots the most!
Yes! Thank you!
Hi Vera, new subscriber here. Great vlog. Love your positive outlook and endless energy. Hoping to learn some healthy tips from you to improve my overall health and energy. Happy flying ✈️
Vera, you have such FUN adventures! I really enjoy watching your vlogs due to that. I hope that things are going well for you.
Thank are!! Thank you so much 🩷
Loved this vlog Vera. Looking forward to the wellness content. I like the mixture of different kinds of content you make.
Good, thank you!!
Always love your vlogs Awesome Cute Vera. Thank you so very much for this little gem of an escape experience. Henry Ford Museum looked truly amazing. Glad you had fun. Always be fly keep safe.
I enjoy both the adventures and the health and wellness vlogs. I now need to make a trip to Detroit. 👋 from AUH.
Here to deliver both 🫡. Hello on the other side of the world!
Happy to hear some positive reviews of Detroit! I enjoyed the views from the Ford Museum and happy you decided to go there.
It's such a cool place!
Well, you made my day too - so - here ya go ..... Hello 👋 Added the museum to my bucket list
Hi!
Zoning in on that chipmunk was s o hilarious !
I love your energy
Actually, the Henry Ford Museum is two parts. There’s the museum and the village. If you want to see everything it’s at least two days to see it all might as well worth it. Enjoy your stay in Detroit, born and raised here. And you also have to go to American or national Coney Island.
Yes I went to the village and museum in this vlog! There is a third part that is the factory tour.
Glad you enjoyed Detroit. It gets a bad rap but is actually pretty great. The only negative part is how far apart everything can be. I haven’t been to Henry ford in years. I’ll have to go with my family sometime soon.
Yes you should go back! Such a fun day
As a Detroiter I'm always leery of sea food. Yes, we're surrounded by inland seas, but they're fresh water. I'm just not cool with ocean food being shipped to the Midwest lol.
Also love that you went to greenfield village! Used to have a membership there, just to walk around somewhere pretty. The Detroit Zoo is another wonderful place that's open year round. It's one of those zoos that take the animals into account, so you might not see all the animals lol. It was built in the early 1900s. The elephants helped build it. We don't have elephants anymore because they needed more space.
Good choice choosing Greek food in Detroit!
New here, just found this, glad you went to the state I grew up in Michigan and saw the museum. I saw as a kid on a school trip. I now live in Wisconsin, but Michigan still is my state. Go Blue, Go Lions!
Love your videos and interested in your skincare routine! Do you have a list somewhere of the products (and vitamins/supplements) that you use?
Glad you had fun in our city/metro!
Yes loved it!!
I’m so glad your going back to health and wellness 👍
Me too honestly
My dad will be 95 this August. The man lives off of Stuffers Dinners, Bologna Sandwichs, Manhatten Drink at 5 every day.. lol
Wow!
The Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village looks so familiar. I went on a grade school class trip 50 years ago. 🤣. I hope you were glad you spent the money. Your editing was excellent!
Wow! Yes it was money well spent
I live in that city of Canada you showed from your hotel room. Windsor Ontario. You were actually looking at the Caesar’s Windsor casino!
Cool trip. I am actually from across the the river in Canada, Windsor, Ontario. When I was younger and lived close to Windsor still, we used to go to Greek town a lot. Sooo sooo good!
So good! That’s so cool I was wondering what it’s like over there
@@BalancedFlyer you will have to cross the border next time you are in detroit
Great vlog and great experience. Safe travels as always
Thank you very much!
Hi Vera, Great vlog, I enjoy the places and health, oh good! ✈✈
Happy to hear 😊
Welcome back! Happy weekend, Vera!
Thank you!! Happy Weekend 😊
You too!
Did they still have the different plane interior simulators? I loved the one from the late 20’s with wicker passenger chairs.
Yes!!
Hi Vera, thanks for going to Greenfield Village for me, been 27 year since I was there when I was across the river in Windsor, Ontario. Used to go there a lot. Suggest a layover in Toronto with a GO Train trip to Niagara Falls, especially during the Festival of Lights over Christmas and its also good for your health with the great walking tours there like from the Falls to Queenston Heights, would make for an epic vlog.
I wish we flew to Toronto! I’ll have to fly there in my own time soon
Lovely video! Do you ever wear a scarf like you wore it at the start of this vlog when you're not working? You look fabulous wearing a scarf like that - do you wear one at other times too? x
This video popped up. I live 15 min from Dearborn, so of course I had to watch ! The bench on my porch was used in Greenfield Village. My uncle was a cop there back in the day. I grew up going there (Im in my 50s) It's the best time to go there at halloween and christmas
Oh that’s so cool! It was definitely cute for Halloween
On your next trip with your friend, check out the Cadeaux Cafe and reserve feather bowling, and go to
Avalon Bakery.
Noted! I tried Avalon but their system was down that day :(
Next time you're here, go to the DIA! It's been ranked the number one art museum in the US twice in the last two years!
Zetouna's is AMAZING. You also need to try authentic Lebanese and Indian food in Detroit now 😁
I have the DIA on my list thank you!! Can’t wait to go back
I'm here for any video you upload.
I’m grateful for that!
Hi Vera,
I like how happy and relaxed You are in the intro.
Glad You did the Henry Ford Museum.
If You are in Ft Meyers, FL You can visit the Edison Ford Winter Estate. It is also bery interesting.
Like the VW Bus 🙂
Best Regards, Ralf
Yes I want to do that one day!
Great video.❤
Thank you! 🤗
Your welcome.❤😍
Glad you liked the "Henry" ...I want to see you eat a bacon cheeseburger! Detroit loves Vera!
Hi! Another great video. ❤
Thank you 🤗
You should definitely check out ford felid
I honeymooned at the Dearborn Museum in 1964. Great time. Bug hugs.
Oh wow! That’s pretty cool
Have you ever thought about using Lyft? I hear that they are generally cheaper on their pricing than Uber.
Is there something you try to collect or do in each place you stay? I feel like I'd wanna do something overly silly like buy a Pepsi in a 7-11 in however many cities I could.
Now I really want to go to the Henry Ford Museum! 🏎️🚗🚙🚕🚓🚘🚖
You have to go!
Hey Vera nice vlog. Can’t wait to see a supplement video.
I’m at JetBlue ramp in Detroit.
You take care. Fly safe. Have an amazing weekend. 🎃🛫
Thank you! You too!
Hi. Lovely your TH-cam channel video I always loved 🥰 to see you beautiful smile. 😊 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
That’s not Greek food, that was actually Lebanese food. Either way good stuff. Glad you enjoyed Henry Ford.
They’re pretty dang close to each other! Thank you 😊
Ck out Sister Pie and they even have pie making classes, and the Eastern Market next time you’re in Detroit
New follower/subscriber 🎉! Per your request, I live in a quiet, rural town outside the capital city of Lansing, Michigan. 😁 Fun watching your channel. 😁
Welcome and thank you for saying hello!!! Happy to have you here ☺️
Natural beauty....
I've lived in Detroit all my life....I dream of eating to of Michigan, and the weather has nothing to do with it.
I remember that vlog.
Never pass the opportunity to see the Henry Ford museum. Riverfront is always cool, trappers alley, Motown and art district
That is SO funny that your last minute Ubers , stresses your viewers out!
I join them in worrying!
- I must know, have any of your Ubers turned back & left U if U weren't outside?
It's so funny in many of your vlogs , how u say you've got 2 minutes to get downstairs & then u continue to pack lunch crate! I laugh as do your viewers!
I've never been late for an uber! I'm always there when they pull up lol
Ohh wow, I drive a Ford Mustang 2017. If you come to Australia I will give yourself a drive. I luv your face but we will have to meet hehe . All the best anyway cheers Ray ❤
You should try Wegmans coconut water. It's really good!!!
Oohh ok!
I enjoy your videos. By the way your skin looks amazing.
Thank you so much!! I’m back on my regular green smoothies so that might be why
❤❤
Hi Vera how are you happy Friday night to you and I hope you having amazing day and you are amazing supporter
Thank you!!
Have you ever rented an car off Turo? It’s cheaper than traditional agency; I have many times.
Yes I have many times but I’ve noticed it not to be much cheaper a lot of the time. Plus if I’m just going to one location and back the convenience of getting picked up and dropped off exactly where you need to go is worth it. I’ll use something like that for a longer day out.
Lmao idk why i found it funny that you were all over the place forgetting to do your recaps,and passing out before you do them, then running behind..seems like some shit id be doin lol
lol yeah it happens sometimes
✈️✈️❤️❤️
If it was about $, you could've hopped on a Smart bus to the Dearborn Transit Center and Ubered from there.
nice vid
Did you get to see the Northern Lights from a plane?
No :(
I’d be at one of the casinos!
Next time try bus/tram system to get around a big city to save money
In Detroit area it’s an car dependency city. Public transportation is lacking. I live in metro Detroit.
I took an Uber because it was the best option. The museum isn’t in the city it’s 13 miles out.
Just dont mind me, I"m just catching up with Vera
Good for you. Cost of Ford exhibit and Uber was ridiculous. Happy u are managing your money. U talk about "alone." Aren't other employees working on same flight? I am now a widower and know what u mean tho. No longer fun to go some places without my wife. As a single, I am a 3rd wheel. 😢
I think I mentioned in the vlog that my coworkers wanted to do their own thing that’s why I went alone. It wasn’t sad though I enjoyed myself!
Vera shhhushh.
Try the Dime Store for breakfast
I went a few years ago and really liked it!
Why don't you try a newer camera like for example Sony ZV or similar? 720p is kind of lower resolution than what people expect nowadays.
Everything filmed in the hotel was with a Sony ZV 10. Surprised you didn’t realize. Only the last clip was with the cannon g7 mark iii. I like it for convenience reasons when traveling.
I assume your not from detroit
Zytoona = an olive 🫒
Thank you!!
Hello my sweet friend! 🙏🤗💖🌹
Hello 😊
