Grand Canyon Day 5, Part 1: Morning Has Woken

2:30 a.m. Yes, that says a.m. Ugh. We knew this was coming from the time we booked the trip. The front desk confirmed it for us last night: in order to make our 4:20 train pick-up, we have to be in the lobby with our bags by 3:45 a.m. Being exhausted from the walk yesterday came in handy; we fell asleep by 10:00 p.m.

Somehow I manage to snap myself upright and trudge into the shower like a hunchback with two broken legs. Now way around it, really: this is the last crack at a comfortable cleansing for 42 hours. As a side note, it was a smart move to bring a pair of sandals and shorts along, since it becomes important to stay cool when you know you can't wash easily. Other parts of the God-awful morning strategy: leave the contacts in the case, keep the pajamas on. We're catching z's as soon as we board!
