Sleepless Nights - but not for stress!

So here I am, just before 5am in Orlando, FL. I just arrived and am all ready to begin a crazy weekend here working with the youth band at a conference at which they are playing. I left Miami around 12:30am (thankfully that early!) and drove about 4 hours to Orlando, then found our hotel. I went to my room but found some of the band girls there, asleep each in one of the two beds and with the tv on loudly. How they can sleep that way is beyond me. We may have to discuss that for this next night. I didn't want to wake them (since it's they that have to perform tomorrow!) or change their TV sleeping habits, and since it's 5am anyway and we START at 730am, I figured sleep would only make me groggy as I'm feeling rather perky and awake now. I'd rather take a long nap this afternoon while people are in session than pick up an hour of sleep now. Blech.
So now I'm sitting in the center grotto of the hotel we're staying at. We're at a very lovely Holiday Inn with many buildings and areas... it's a resort and conference center. Nice.

Hopefully I'll get some sleep today. Otherwise I'll be cranky. :) Or ineffective. Or whatever. I also need to shower. I feel gross.

Wish me luck this weekend! It's my first real trip with the youth band and I am hoping for some good bonding, good work and good fun.

Cheers!
