It wasn’t planned, it was a missed flight, and even though I’m only 40 minutes from the airport we were only able to visit for just under an hour before he had to go.

Still, I should’ve texted you once I found out, sorry!

 

[PatrThom]

I doubt this'll be the last time there's a China trip, and DTW does seem to be the place where they like to start from, so I'm sure we'll get more chances. Just not right away.

--Patrick

I have a prior engagement Saturday night, but if anyone is around and wants to grab coffee, lunch or whatever any other time, I'd be down.

This is Texas we're talking about, mang. That's like a trip to the grocery store.

On a Sunday... it's like a ghost town compared to Monday - Friday traffic.

 

[Tinwhistler]

 

[Tinwhistler]

Well, I made it to my hotel without dying in a plane crash, getting in a wreck on i-45, or getting mugged when I went to walmart in Oak Creek

 

[GasBandit]

Dude, did you buy a lotto ticket??

 

[Tinwhistler]

By the way, a heads up for anyone who may be coming to Phoenix anytime soon: first of all, monsoon season is probably the worst time of year to visit, because in addition to the tail end of "OMGWTFHOT" you also get routine dust storms that turn into full-on thunderstorms that make anything you pansies in the Midwest get seem tame. Second of all, please realize that the Phoenix metro area is big. REALLY big. We've got more land area in Maricopa County than the state of New Jersey. So if you're asking me to meet you in Glendale or Peoria, fugeddaboudit.
