The Travel And Airport Gate Time Really Went to Good Use

September 27, 2006 by Simon

I arrived at the Hotel in Grande Prairie, AB safe and sound at about 10pm Mountain time on Monday.

The only challenge – – the room didn’t have internet connection.

It’s now Tuesday morning at about 8:45am Mountain and I’m doing a quick Blog ( to post later when I have an internet connection ) before a 9am client call and I’m off to set up my PowerPoint Presentation for the Advoics gig at 11am.

Go figure – It took me from 10am Pacific to 9:30pm Mountain time to get to Grande Prairie, AB and my flight leaves Grande Prairie, AB at 2:30pm Mountain and I will be home by 5:30pm Pacific! That is 10 ?Ǭ? hours versus 4 hours. Go figure. I was almost looking forward to all that travel and airport gate time to finish my October E-Newsletter.

I came to realize that I will have had 6 flights in 29 hours – whew!

The travel and airport gate time really went to good use;

Does the above list look like a lot for the October E-Newsletter? Yes. Drafts are hand written for all the articles – we will just have to see which ones get type set. There was a day when I wondered what to write about.
