This is the second time I've missed a trip and I've come to a few conclusions:
1) If you expect me to be anywhere at 6:30 in the morning, it's not going to happen. Either I will manage to horribly bungle my means of transportation to the meeting point, or I just won't wake up at all. Never mind setting three alarms and laying my clothes out ahead of time. Preparedness means nothing if you only give yourself 3 hours to sleep the night before.
2) Perhaps, it is better not to travel with people. This way, no one is waiting on you and no now you have to wait for, so everyone wins. You explore what you want, avoid what you don't and leave when you feel like it.
3) Every time something like this happens, I can hear my parents voices in my head giving me "advice" (better known to children as scolding) on what to do next time. I can see their disappointed faces, hear learned mantras about timeliness and responsibility echoing again and again in my ears. This is why, after being late, it's best to just go back to sleep.
On an unrelated note: Spiders. Spiders everywhere.
