Flew to Phoenix for a business trip yesterday (did a group presentation with the Winemaker this morning). First time traveling on a full chemo week (Irinotecan and Erbitux) so I was not quite sure how it would go, and it turned out pretty well.

Phoenix is not an ideal place to visit in the summer. While it stayed under 110, I did experience my first haboob (dust storm). From the plane it was quite the site, with dust rising up about a mile into the air.

About three hours before the flight, the winemaker calls and asks if I want to go see Bob Dylan! He managed to find tickets, fifth row, center stage!


All in all a good trip!

    Darn
    You forgot to let me know you were coming. Glad you didn't come during the really big dust storm a couple of weeks ago. I think it was fifty miles wide and a mile high. About three days after that one, my husband and I went out in the 110 weather and spent four hours cleaning up the patio and washing everything off. About ten minutes before we finished, another dust storm hit. I'm not cleaning up the patio again until OCTOBER.

    Not a big Dylan fan, but I love his unoffical past girlfriend, Joan Baez.

    Luv,

    Wolfen
