A Quick One While I’m Away 8


I’m in Orlando, FL this week.

Getting here wasn’t bad. A four hour flight from Salt Lake City.

GoGo Wireless
online from the iPhone while in flight.

I will continue to rave on and on about how cool it was to Twitter and be online during the flight. I got a free pass for the GoGo Wireless service. And not just from the MacBook Pro, but from my iPhone, too. AT THE SAME TIME! Amazing how such a simple thing as getting online made me so happy – at 40,000 feet in the air, no less.

But tonight is the night for Avitaween.

Avitaween

Excited. Ready to get my drink on. Meet some bloggers I’ve not met before.

A full report with photos will be posted.

Now off to enjoy the day.

    I have yet to be on a plane that offers wi-fi and am a bit envious. Then again I haven’t taken any long cross country flights lately and I suspect this is only available on the larger planes, and not the little puddle-jumpers that ferry me around the western states.

    iron fist – Yes, same with me. I normally do the under 2 hour flights. Although the flight to Hawaii in March didn’t have wifi, but I would say that was due to them not rolling it out yet. Needless to say, I’m hooked now.

    kevin – I think they are just rolling most of it out this year. A technical marvel, IMO.

    My wife had a free wi-fi pass when she flew back home recently. We did some texting up until her battery died. I’ve yet to be on a flight that offers it.

    tori – I did have a great time. Recap post coming soon (with pictures)

    delmer – It really was nice to have on the plane. Although the book and magazines I brought didn’t get much attention.

    I’m so disappointed that I missed Invaded, but even more disappointed that you didn’t stop by in Austin on your way. Heh heh, guilt is so easily thrown.

    whall – When I was watching the interactive map that shows where the plane is at all times, I was hoping it would go over Austin, but it ended up going much more north over the top of Oklahoma. I thought about asking the pilot to make a detour, but Reba said she wanted to get home sooner.

    I take that guilt and toss to my wife.
