Your correspondent in Pheonix
Reporting from Phoenix
Plenty of time today to mull on this week’s OFC/NFOEC event, as I missed the connection to my UK flight, and am stuck in Phoenix, Arizona, for 24 hours. Trying to land in 62 mph cross winds was one of the more scarey experiences of my life; the pilot aborted the landing at the last minute and we were diverted to Tucson.
We (publisher Susan Curtis and I) arrived in the small hours at a slightly seedy hotel, the sort where you get disposable plates and cutlery for breakfast. Too depressing to stay in the hotel room and work, so we’ve gone hiking in South Mountain Park.

This is the third time in three flights that I’ve been delayed overnight. The trip before that was by Eurostar, and my train was cancelled in both directions, leading to more delays. My colleagues swear they will make separate travel arrangements from me in future. So if you see me at the airport, you have been warned!
