Uber wake up call option

For the sleepyheads

Yesterday I was with friends for the day at a bachelor party. As the designated driver, I spent about… 5 hours driving back and forth across Napa and Sonoma California. It’s a pretty area, but boy, are those roads long and winding. I’m grateful to be headed to New York where I can park it on the train and not worry about making sharp turns or people tailing me.

Unfortunately, I need to fly across the country to get to New York. This entails heading to the airport early to catch an 8 am flight. I’ll need to get up around 5 tomorrow morning. Thankfully we ended the night relatively early and this idea came to me as I got ready for bed.

I booked an Uber for tomorrow morning, and as I finished scheduling it I asked myself, “what if the driver could come in and wake me up?”

This would be unnerving on many levels. I’m in a strange house. Being woken up by a strange person might put me over the edge. However, if this guarantees me making my flight on time, I may opt for this option over a normal ride.

On that note, I’m going to get some shut-eye before a long day of travel.
