Day 1 - Arrival. 9 hours on a plane. Taxi ride to hotel. Missing iPhone upon arrival to room.
Lost iPhone...$400. MobileMe GPS phone tracking service...$99. Taxi ride to Queens & back...$80. Knocking on random apartment doors at 10:30 pm....priceless!
Shelly really knows how to show a girl a good time. Her iPhone fell out of her backpack somewhere between the back seat of our taxi and the front of the hotel. We searched frantically and then began some most excellent detective work involving the doorman, concierge, two police officers, a taxi driver from Hong Kong, and a really nice couple who just returned from the LSU-Auburn game. The GPS tracked the cell phone to an apartment building at 31st Road and Crescent Ave in Queens. So what are two friends to do? Get in a taxi and go get the phone back of course! With Gregg guiding us by Internet, we arrived at the apartment building and began knocking on doors. Nobody claimed to have the cell phone, although the GPS continued to tell us the exact room in the apartment on the first floor on the left. You know who you are!
To be continued....
P.S. Beth - we are safely back at the hotel.
