On my way to NYC for the marathon

NYC Marathon

On my way home today, I was stepping on the caltrain in Mountain View and got a call from Orbitz.  My flight was on time to depart in three hours.  The only problem?  I thought I was leaving tomorrow! Apparently I got confused with the leaving/arriving dates of my red-eye to NYC.  So 3 frantic hours later, I’m on my way to NYC a day early.

I will say my iPhone performed wonderfully.  On the way back on the caltrain, I checked my flight, called appropriate parties to alert them of my early arrival, rescheduled my meetings, checked the weather, made a packing list, and scheduled my taxi pickup.

Technology is amazing.

I’ve also written 4 blog posts while on this flight, so after months in the dark, I’ll be posting a lot in the coming days.
