We arrived at our hotel in Charlotte, NC at one o’clock, after a seven hour bus ride from St. Augustine. The ride was quiet, most of the team stayed up the night before and packed or worked on the presentation.
We left at 7 and had a massive bagel and donut breakfast on the bus.

The last day of practice went great today. Yesterday, we performed a formal presentation for some of the college staff and they loved it. We’ll be meeting at 6:30 in the morning for the seven hour road trip to Charlotte, NC. The 40 team members are hoping to get some sleep on the ride up along with some Q&A and presentation practice.
