On Timing and Travel

It takes us about 20 minutes to get anywhere on the ship. Okay, that's exaggerating, but it does take a lot of time and effort to get where you want to go. for example, you wake up at 6:30 and you're groggy. All you want is food. But first you have to try to fiddle with your combination lock (in the dark). After it's open, you try to change and wash up, but oh no, you've forgotten your toothpaste. Time to fiddle with your lock again. Now you're out the door of the berthing, and climb up 4 sets of stairs to get up two floors to Main. On Main, you walk across 1/2 the ship's length to get from the purple stairs to the red stairs. At the red stairs you walk up 4 more sets of stairs, through some double doors, down two hallways to get to the chow line.

I always leave at least 5 minutes early. And my watch is set 2 minutes fast.
