Yes, that's true... there's nothing to retain the heat or something like that.... IIRC in extreme cases like the Sahara it often gets freezing cold at night.

Heh, when I was in New Mexico we were mountain climbing and we camped on a peak one night where it got down below 20 F, in the middle of July.

I'm going to some small town in Missouri where the per capita income is around 10k a year (according to wiki). If I stop posting, I probably got shot.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Hey Fredo, how would you feel about giving a guy a foot massage?

Not really my cup of tea.

Whenever I have to go on a business travel, I'm always annoyed... especially because most flights leave quite early.

But then the experience is always rewarding, so I end up never regretting them.

If the weather is a problem, just go hotel-taxi-place of business-taxi-hotel. The permanent air conditioning will keep you cool.

But I wouldn't recommend it. Wouldn't the place you'll be travelling to invite you to some special occasion... like a good dinner? (and possibly call girls)

We have operations going live in Honolulu and San Juan, PR this year and I'm trying to figure out a way to break something in the system that will somehow magically require me to be there onsite to fix it.  :hmm:

Not sure if this counts as "travel" the way you mean it, but when my last job closed, the only way to avoid layoff was to accept a transfer to Morehead, South Dakota.  Needless to say, I declined.

You're from Jersey, so not so needless.  :lol:

I traveled to Duenschede, Germany. I'm not even able to pronounce it correctly.

It's true that for outsiders, the german forests do stand out when we first go there. Especially for an Iberian - we're just not used to having so much wood around.

Caliga, you are on drugs.

I lived in Tucson and Phoenix for a long time. 110 degrees is fucking HOT, and I don't give a shit how "dry" it is. It is fucking hot. Insanely hot. Don't go outside hot, and certainly don't get into a car hot.

And yeah, it cools right off into the 90s at night in July.

The average overnight low in July is 83 degrees in Phoenix, btw. Record is 96.

Yeah, it gets cold in the desert at night - in the "winter". Not in the summer.

I'd take Phoenix heat over fucking humid 90+ of east coast in June.
June is extremely pleasant on the East Coast, generally.  Second half of July, and all of August...

I like Copenhagen, but I do feel like I've seen it all and done it all in just two two-day trips.

I kinda miss that humidity.
