Sometimes I so feel like Gomer Pyle.

Goooollllly.

I’ve used the iPhone/iPad locator app numerous times to find my wife’s phone when she couldn’t locate it. Is it somewhere in the dark crevices of the pocketbook, at the office, in the car… where in the world is that iPhone?

It’s really quite cool.

But today, oh my, today I used it to give a good morning wakeup to my little queen in her hotel room 4,000 miles away in Brazil! Opened the app and it instantly started searching for all our apparatuses; it told me that her iPhone was turned off (good girl!) but that her iPad was connected to wifi on Beira Mar Avenue in Fortaleza, Brazil. I was so impressed. Seriously! I started giving myself high-fives.

Then, and this is the good part, I sent her a message and had it play a sound for two minutes so she’d know that something was happening. I’ve done that to myself before just to see what it would do and the sound really gets your attention. She isn’t going to have a clue how I did that!

Yeah, I feel just like Gomer.
