When we talk about traveling or things we plan to do,
we often use the present continuous.
I can say,"I'll arrive in Stamford tomorrow."
Or I can say,"I'm arriving in Stamford tomorrow."
The meaning is the same.Now listen to some sentences in the future.
Then change each one to the present continuous.
For example,I say,"I'll arrive tomorrow."And you say...
I'm arriving tomorrow.Or I say,
"I'll meet Mr.Brown this afternoon."And you say...
I'm meeting Mr.Brown this afternoon.
OK.Let's begin.I'll arrive tomorrow.
I'm arriving tomorrow.I'll meet Mr.Brown this afternoon.

Remember what Jake said about Abbott Larkin.
First,Abbott Larkin goes to St.Louis.
He stays overnight in St.Louis.
He leaves St.Louis tomorrow morning and arrives in Dallas at 1:45 P.M.
We leave tomorrow morning at 7:30 A.M.
on an American Airlines flight and arrive in Dallas at 10:08 A.M.
We get there first and interview Larkin at the airport.
Now repeat some of those sentences.

Notice how we can use the simple present tense to talk about plans for the future,
