Humid gusts of wind burst through the ajar windows in the back of our clamorous twelve passenger van. Through the stereo, a soft melodic beat flows effortlessly. Excitement bubbles over each passenger, and our faces radiate with joy. Anticipation blinds us from perceiving the grand distance between our vehicle and our destination.
