Every trip has its hiccups. Ours just started early. On Thursday, the U of Arizona TriCats began our trip to Tuscaloosa AL for the USAT Collegiate National Championships.
After Kyle’s death threats upon anyone who dared show late, we arrived individually at the airport 11:30…give or take. The flight to DFW went well, nice and smooth. In Dallas, we had enough time to find our next gate, eat dinner, chat a bit, take a nap, get some work done, and compose a symphony. It was a long layover. We boarded the late-arrived airplane under chants of “Hurry up! Hurry up!” by the flight crew in order to make it out before a storm. We did. Oh, that’s just the beginning.
When we got to Birmingham, the rental company lost our vans. An hour drive later the hotel lost our rooms, and we were beginning to lose sleep. At about midnight AL time, we were in the hotel, cozy and comfy in our rooms, visions of energy gels dancing in our heads.
