Still waiting

It's 9:15 AM and we're sitting in the airport waiting for our turn to get to the counter and see when we'll go. The phone rang at 7:15, a little over 2 hours after I went to bed and we were told we had to get the bus in 20 minutes. We arrived here at 8:00 and the line has shortened only slightly. We calculate an average of 15 minutes minimum for each passenger/group and there are at least 10 parties still ahead of us. This could be a long morning...after a very short night.
