Thursday brought on all that the day before such a trip does: frantically packing, frantically finishing of last minute homework, frantically trying to find the DVD drives that were supposed to arrive today that are desperately needed for this trip but weren't here yet and weren't going to be here until Friday.
AAAAACK!
(Feel free to take a moment and go to http://scaredsilly.blogspot.com and view one of the many humor-filled and relaxing videos until your pulse returns to normal. I like the one about the aquarium...)
Ah...that's better.
Ultimately the bags got packed, the homework nearly done, the friends were called, Facebook was alerted (multiple times) and...
God provided a Miracle Man Named Norm at UPS who thought he could have the drive intercepted when it arrived at one of the terminals at 4:45 AM on Friday. This means that not only I would have to get up at some ungodly hour to take my family to an airport by 5AM we had to fit in a stop to the office and a UPS terminal AND not be late. All the while hauling duffels and camera equipment the size of Mini Coopers around...
At any point the UPS connection could break down...because the window of time was so small for Kevin to be there to intercept...the truck had to be right on time...the package had to be already pulled... ut there is always the potential that the message didn't make it clear into the belly of this UPS amazing transferring maze.
So...more prayer...while Kevin tried all night working on Plan B and frantically tying up HIS loose ends...
