When I booked my trip to Boston, I knew it would be crazy. Back in January I had booked a personal trip to Costa Rica. I left on a Tuesday and returned on the following Tuesday…at midnight…to Baltimore. But no worries. I would stay over in Baltimore before driving back to Richmond, or I’d drive back to Richmond and sleep in the next day.

But then I found out I had to go to Boston for work. The very next day after I returned from Costa Rica.

Okay, not a huge deal. I partially packed for Boston before I set out for Costa Rica. I would get back to Baltimore, drive to Richmond, sleep in, and leave that evening for Boston. Doable.
