Location I've heard of many places to watch a launch (both orlandosentinel.com and floridatoday.com sites list launch viewing tips), but I found this as well: http://www.adayawaykayaktours.com/shuttletour.html Definitely not a recommendation, as I have never done it, nor do I know anyone...

the Mousesavers website has a really good, detailed look at the costs of ownership (she even did a spreadsheet, you can play with numbers yourself). Go here: http://www.mousesavers.com/dvc.html#dvc I could see it working for some people, but if we stick with the moderate resorts (which we...

It's 45 min or so without launch traffic... That could easily add a few hours. Plus, at http://spaceflightnow.com/shuttle/sts115/fdf/sts115windows.html the window on the 27th is 4:24-4:34 PM, which means you may get the best seat ("this is the captain speaking... if you look to the east, that...

Potential 5th show! (sorry to drag up an older thread, but...) If you look to the East around 2:38 in the afternoon 4 July, you should see the shuttle blast off. ...well, I'm excited at least... Whatever you're doing today, have a great one! Go Discovery!

see: http://www.floridatoday.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060512/NEWS09/60512010/1105/news09 ...there are approx. 15,000 - and many of those work different shifts. Certainly as long as you get there after typical morning rush hour times, you'd be fine. I would think that the...

Crash-o-rama It's at Orlando Speed World (I think http://www.speedworlddragway.com/)... Located on Highway 50 about halfway between Orlando and Titusville (the East Coast). I don't know their schedule, I just see the Crash-o-rama signs every so often on the way to work... maybe once every...

If you actually take the time to read signs and watch some of the videos throughout, you could spend a whole day. You could spend a few hours on the tour, each Imax is 45 min plus (Magnificent Desolation is good)... There's 4 hours right there. Add any time in the rocket garden plus other...

I've only been here two months, and if I see mr. wakki nu nu, the truck slapper, or cocoa charlie walking down the street, I just might punch them. On the TV, on the radio, there're freakin' everywhere! But I have become aware of how many of our appliances are plastic... Suddenly, I wonder...

If you try to visit every attraction, show, and bar (it is an an AB park...) you could easily stay until closing. There are a few rides and some walk through attractions, but the reason you go is to watch giant fish jump to eat smaller fish. Since they are shows, there is a performance schedule...

Update? Sure, why not? We have completed the "Where the ____ are we going to live" and the "everyone get a job" phases, and are progressing into the "why the flying ____ hasn't our house sold yet?" phase. Cliffs notes move: Wife got NASA job. Gov't moves goods, we sell/buy house. Me...

GAFL gas Georgia's gas is so cheap because there are little if any of the required additives in other states, and there is not as much tax on it. GA gets a ton of money on the ad volorem vehicle tax. Definitely gas up around Valdosta, before you get to Florida. Once here, my wife and I...

Typically with nicer fountains, there is a wind compensation and a freeze protection system. The wind comp will lower a waterfeature's height as wind speed increases, or turn it off entirely. The idea is to keep the water in the basin and off of the sidewalks. Sometimes waterfalls don't use wind...

So long story short, my wife and I are relocating to the MCO from the ATL (she got a kick-backside job at Kennedy) and we're looking for places to live. I have no idea where I'll be eventually working, but I think there's an equal chance for orlando as the Cape. Since there appears to be very...

Hmmm, resemblance, eh? ... I'm about 4.5' feet, covered in brown and black fur, got a red nose, and a big bushy tail... Rescue rangers, here I come!!! post 2

Don't forget Thunder in Paradise... Oh man, Hulkamania rules!!! Finally, my first post!
