English term or phrase: Not a minute too soon
"At last! That's the entrance to the high field."
"Not a minute too soon, I'm starved," she said cheerfully.


Оно понятно, что можно перевести "как раз во время", "самое время", "давно пора", но все-таки хотелось бы подобрать какое-нибудь иное русское выражение, более специфичное, учитывая особенности фразы.
