WakeUpper.com will help keep you on schedule
JohnnyJet.com, a terrific resource for travel info, turned me on to WakerUpper.com, which eliminates the need to schedule a wake-up call at a hotel, remind you of a meeting or tell you to pick up some milk.
What's hot: It's easy to use, and it's free. Log on to the website, put in your phone, e-mail address and type a short message to yourself. You can schedule a reminder for any phone, land line or cell. You'll get a phone call and voice message of your text reminder.
