Watching the news early this morning there was mention of the upcoming Space Shuttle flight in the context of it being one of the last. I mentioned I'd always wanted to see one. She said "So why don't you go?" After I picked my jaw up off the floor I thought "Why not?" Fly down Wednesday back on Thursday, one night cheap hotel, option to wait it out over the weekend if need be...

Yeah, I can do this!

So I'm booked for one Shuttle Launch trip. Everyone please send good vibes to NASA to get this sucker off on time!

Wow, that's great!!
We were considering doing this, back in November. But the date kept moving around that it made a trip from California way too hard to plan. I'll live vicariously thorugh you! We expect a trip report with pictures you know!

But of course! I just hope I beat the odds and get to see a launch.

I'm flying down Wednesday night, I have a room booked next Universal, A tour that includes a bus trip out to the causeway (the best viewing spot for the public) and I'm back out Thursday night. I'm doing my best to allow for a 1 or 2 day delay but anything longer than that and I'm toast.
