76 seconds, and worth it — the evening I built the whole trip around.
While you’re waiting: this is the evening the entire week is built around, and it’s easier to show you than tell you.

The email is from [email protected] If it isn’t there in a few minutes, look in spam or Promotions — and drag it over to your inbox, which fixes it for everything I send after.

It asks for a reply. A reply starts a real conversation, and it tells email providers your messages are wanted.
It doesn’t make her wait. She can read the itinerary now, see the rooms, or find the live Q&A. The email is a copy, not a gate.
