It was summer 2008, and I was in the midst of a second crazy summer with Study Tours.  But, I had finally earned a day off, it was actually more like two days off, which was unheard of.  We had sent almost the entire staff, group leaders, and students to Washington DC for the weekend.  I worked incredibly hard to get the staff and the buses ready to depart.  At 2:30 p.m. on Saturday I was free!...  At least until about 9 o'clock the next night.
