The Google Android G1 Phone: Arriving in San Antonio International from San Antonio, TX

22OCT08 San Antonio International, San Antonio TX (SAT)

We made our way to the Terminal 2 through the construction barriers. My friend tells me that they are going to expand Terminal 1; get rid of the existing Terminal 2 and rebuild it. Oh what a mess.

I collected my boarding pass and then made my way to the gate, stopping at the Presidents Club for breakfast first. I did not think it would be open, but it had opened at 4:45a. Good deal, I thought. I messed around with the phone a bit as I ate.

At 5:20a, I made my way down to the gate and went straight on board with a slight delay due to congestion in the jetway.

I awoke and looked at the time on the phone, it was 4:12a, three minutes before the alarm was set. My friend set it last night, so I'll have to figure this out later. He was intrigued that there were so many settings. The good thing about the alarm, is that each time you use the phone, you are reminded of the alarm time. We were laughing that the phone actually told you how many hours to the alarm time; smart alec!

I pulled the covers over my head and went back to sleep knowing that in 3 minutes the alarm would go off. Sure enough it did although it seemed like forever.

I got ready and we left the house at 4:40a phone in hand and headed for the airport. Traffic was extremely light and we had no issues. Taking the time to catch up some more and using the G1 to denote our position. It did work this time and showed our progress as a flashing dot on the map. We verified with neighboring streets that it was indeed correct. Strange how last night it did not show us where we were when we had it in directions mode. It even showed the airport with runways and all.

At 5:00a, we turned off the highway and into the airport.
