Is this crazy or am I?

There are a lot of things I like about the FIRST build season. I get to program, I get do design things, and I get to build things. But I personally am no great fan of administrative stuff, and try to avoid it. So last week when I learned of our travel plans to the PNW regional in Portland I was in for quite a surprise.....

We live in Alaska. The flight to Seattle is about 3-4 hours if I remember correctly. The flight from Seattle to portland has to be another hour or so. So when I heard we were leaving at 1 in the morning I was like "great!". That gives us a whole day to sit around a hotel and recover from our night of travel. Then I was corrected. We are leaving at 1 AM Thursday morning..... Does that strike anyone else as crazy?
