SJC airport - Mon, 2 Oct 2023. 7:30am
I'm off to Phoenix then Vegas for a 4 day business trip. This morning I'm flying to Phoenix, then meeting with a customer for a few hours starting around noon, then back to the airport. It's kind of like that day trip to Phoenix I did 5 weeks ago, but instead of rubber-banding home I'm sling-shotting to Las Vegas. I'll be in Vegas through Thursday for a trade show.
One good thing about this trip compared to last time is the 8:20am scheduled departure. I set my alarm for 6am... versus last time, when I was up at 4:45am for a 7am departure. Still, I was walking to the corner to meet my driver before dawn. The sun rose sometime en route to the airport.
At the moment it looks like my flight is running 10-15 minutes late. That's annoying... but also predictable. And because it's predictable (it's common) I planned my schedule with room for up to 30 minutes of delays. Meanwhile my sales colleague, Mike, has been dealt a 90 minute delay on his flight. Ugh. That could jeopardize the flow of our meeting with the customer in Phoenix.
