I Can’t Believe It but My iPhone Has Let me Down

If you know me very well you would know I just Love, Love, Love my iPhone! It is never far from my side in fact I have been know to fall asleep with it on my chest as I listen to Pandora radio. For those of you wives who have a husband that snores, that is the perfect way to get to sleep so you won’t lay there dreaming of putting a pillow over his face.

But back to my story about how my beloved iPhone has let me down. Over the weekend I decided to attend the Radiant Success Event in Raleigh NC! My good friend and mentor Kathleen Gage is a co-presenter and I am excited for the opportunity to get to meet her in person. I will also get to meet Denise Wakeman, Janis Pettit, Marnie Pehrson, and Ellen Britt and I can hardly wait!

The cool part about this trip is that my nephew, Walter is attending Wake Forest medical school which I was sure was some where near Raleigh NC so I pulled out my trusty iPhone, went to my maps app and typed in Wake Forest and guess what. He was only 15 miles away from Raleigh! His mom and my sister lives close by me here in TN so I rang her right up to see if she would like to drive over with me and visit her son while I went to the conference for 3 days in May?

This was the perfect plan (or so I thought). I would have someone to share the 10 hour drive with and get to see my favorite nephew, plus his mom would get to see him as well!

Sadly, she could not get away that weekend but she said I might still be able to get over to see my nephew anyway so I emailed him to see if I could spend the night there before the conference. He emails his mom confused wondering why I would want to stay  2 hours away from the conference,

So here is the part where my iPhone let me down. Who would ever think that Wake Forest Medical school in NC would not be in Wake Forest NC? It is actual in Winston- Salem which is 100 miles away. I am just glad I finally found out the truth because it would be sad to be circling Wake Forest NC looking for a medical school after driving 10 hours only to find out it was 100 miles back in the other direction and then have no hotel reservation.

Our technology is all wonderful and it is amazing what we can do with it but there are just sometimes when we need to talk to a real live person to get all the details.
