Hey Steve - just as well we are not in Canada - I am sure we are going to fry in Tucson - I believe last week on Friday it was 100F+ which I think equates to 38C - maybe the locals can give us some weather update so we know what to expect

Cooling off a bit Norm, but still "warm"... low 90's the last few days with a few scattered rain showers.
See you soon!

Great stuff Dave - temp is heading in the right direction - low 30's (Centigrade) by the time we arrive in Tucson on Wednesday evening would be great

Just spoke with Norm and Chris, both planes have been checked in successfully, just waiting for the plane to leave, all preparation well worth the effort, almost time for the games to begin!

No, I am going Friday morning, Troy and I will fly to LA together, so we can check his plane on, then Steve will meet us at LA, him and Troy will drive out, and I will stroll across to the Southwest Airlines terminal, have a casual flight out, and be well and truly sipping schoobie schnax by the time they arrive!

That's good news, Mick, and the last hurdle for them in this hemisphere.
Hope it's set a precedent, and you & Troy can have a smooth check in on Friday too.
