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 (well, maybe one) 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.
