So, here are some of my “visions” from day one – a rather short one. My flight was delayed a bit, then the logistics of getting added to the car rental agreement, lunch, and such.

Well, the first half does at least! I just arrived at my hotel in Phoenix, having flown from Providenciales to Miami this morning and then from Miami to Phoenix this evening.
The MIA-PHX flight was delayed by 40 minutes but landed only 15 minutes late so that was no big deal.
Slightly more interesting was the discovery that the Hilton Garden Inn had no record of my reservation (made through Expedia.co.uk), and the hotel was full…. Fortunately they found me a room but I will have to call Expedia and get a refund when I return home.
We have a Jeep (not a Similar!) so we are all set – I will be collecting Mr T. from PHX at 11.30 tomorrow and then the UHRT can start in earnest!
