Words of experience:

DON'T PANIC!  It doesn't matter if you show up at noon, or at 5:00, or even later.  It doesn't matter if you take a break for a nice meal, or to see a movie, or to get some sleep.  This is a marathon, not a sprint, and keeping fresh and alert is more important than putting in extra hours.  There's been no hunt in recent years in which we would have done worse if we'd *all* showed up five hours late.  So relax.  And have a good time!

See you soon.
