Phoenix travelog #3
PHX Airport· Mon, 18 Aug 2025, 4pm
It's been a busy day in Phoenix. Not only did I meet with a major customer for almost 2 hours but I've handled a few hours of internal meetings on the phone, participated in a bunch of Slack threads, and had breakfast with my wife. She flew out here with me and stayed with me at the hotel. Plus, now we've met up at the airport after my in-person meetings and we've eat lunch together, too.
Now comes the un-fun part of business travel. Or really any airplane travel.

We wait. We wait because our flight is delayed. Currently it's showing a delay of 40 minutes. Oh, but we aren't just sitting here, waiting. No; Southwest has moved our gate three times. (They've moved the gate because they're swapped us to different aircraft several times.) Poor Hawk has had to walk about a mile across different concourses at Sky Harbor airport. Well, maybe not poor.... For one, she appreciates the exercise, and two, she got a lift on a golf cart for the last journey.
