Honestly, I can't remember what happened this morning...It is a jumble of random last minute set up details, finding out where everything was happening, and meeting the bus drivers. Melody (my cohort over transportation) and I had to figure out the bus schedules, making sure they didn't go over 10 hours - it was hard since they had all just driven 6 hours to get here. Then we had to worry about who needed to get where and when, and if we had enough time and drivers.
The biggest problems of today:
-Forgetting to send a bus to certain hotels, we had some people waiting for an hour or two
-Lost luggage, a good Samaritan turned out to be not such a good Samaritan, since the luggage actually went to a different hotel...
-One of the bus drivers didn't have a hotel reservation...he got it figured out, not too sure what went on there..
-Making one bus driver go over his 10 hours because we were bad at communication
-Getting yelled at at the end of the night because of the 30 minute wait for a bus
-Lack of cones for blocking off where the buses were parking, so we had to stand all day in the spots telling people to move
-Going far too long without food because we had to figure out the above problems
The biggest ups of today:
-Getting to know Melody really well (we spent all day with basically just the two of us at the bus drop off/pick up), we have a TON of inside jokes now
-Spending time with the Special Olympics athletes
-Having a radio and listening to the funny things that were said
-Ranking the bus drivers by likability
-Having Nilla show up with food for us!
-Being asked if we are free to come back next year to work it again (TOTALLY!!) and it's only the first day!

We tried to find you this afternoon (up by Park Discovery) but I couldn't find the soccer fields. Call tomorrow and we can bring you and Melody a treat and a cold drink (just not between 2-4 because I will also have Sophie then and I can't fit that many car seats in my car).
