Well, we made it from El Paso to Phoenix, as planned. I ended up getting a tape deck adapter for the iPhone, after all, which has helped a lot. On the playlist: Kaki King, James Taylor, Led Zep, and Police. A lot of songs I haven’t listened to in ages.
AT&T? Totally dead through most of New Mexico and Arizona. Bouncing in and out of Edge signal. When I finally bounce back to 3G in Tucson? Slowest 3G ever. This had a large impact on my GPS via MotionX, obviously. I don’t blame the app, though. AT&T is failing me on this trip big time already. Tucson? I’ll try to be nice, but it was simply not a good experience. Parking on University Blvd. was totally lame. The town was dead, thanks to the school being on winter break. I don’t know. Let’s just say I wasn’t impressed. 3G held up through to Phoenix tonight, luckily. Got me to the hotel with no issues. Hotel itself? No wireless in the room, though wired Internet is provided. Bar closed at 10. LAME. Luckily, bar down the street is open until 2 and serves Smithwick’s. Problem solved. Tomorrow, Grand Canyon, if the snow doesn’t become a problem.
