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.
