Some logistical things were sprung onto me during this trip. Due to the hotel cutting out drivers out of their rooms, the drivers had to wait to go through red tape with BGA to get their rooms back, rooms we already paid for (after they took a taxi back from the hotel to sleep). This cut us back about an hour or so. In addition, we have had some problems finding places to eat on the way home, we stopped at a bunch of areas which resulted in longer rest stops both ways. With finding food areas, since the kids do need to eat, and that has to be a priority, we are running late.
The good news, they will be well rested!
We instituted a “mandatory sleep time” on the busses from 12:30 to 8 am in which all the kids slept very well. They are continuing to sleep, at any given time half the band is sleeping. We will try to squeeze in another 5 to 6 hours of sleep time for them so that we are all in good shape to go to school tomorrow.
