... being in the US. I have not driven anything in 6 months and here I am driving on the highway!! It took me all of 5 minutes to get back into the groove of wanting people to get out of my way and to speed. Ah do I miss driving fast!!
After lunch at Chilies and hour ride home I was sitting in the house watching TV and relaxing. I was home and I just wanted to relax and soak up the fact that I would not wake up in Medellin. :o((((
I knew while I was home I ...

... Josh and Travis went out to the Paradise Skate park located bout 20 mins from cocoa, Florida, and skated for several hours over there. I didn't get a chance to go with them, because I wanted to finish unpacking, and getting setup for living here for a while. The weather here is incredibly warm, and I really don't miss the cold. I'm already acclimated to the warmth and so is Josh. On the 2nd night we decided to drive up to ...

As Jess mentions below, the ship is huge. Up until two days ago it was the largest passenger ship on the oceans. We even managed to find the Guiness Book of World Records certificate posted on one of the walls to prove it. Now, however, Royal Caribbean’s Oasis is the largest.

Other than walking around the ship a little bit, trying to get our ...

The US are very proud of their space exploration. The Kennedy Space Centre is a fantastic example of this. We were given an extensive tour of the facilty and shown the journey of every shuttle before it takes off to space. The massive equipment that is needed to move the shuttles and rockets around the facility. We even got to listen to Jack Lousma, an astronaut who was in Skylab and the first shuttle missions.

Sadly, our time of being spoiled, pampered and overfed has to come to an end. We finalized our packing the night before and put our bags outside the door where they were whisked away overnight to be unloaded in the morning.

We said goodbye to Mum and Dad who were catching a plane to Las Vegas and we were off the ship by 9.30. The girls were very happy as our ...

Visita a Cabo Cañaveral, o más fácil a la NASA. Hemos pasado un dia bastante caluroso visitando el complejo, con subida al Shuttle, zona de lanzamiento, zona de ensamblaje y demás partes del area. Molt bonico.
Por la tarde hemos puesto rumbo a Miami, pasando por West Palm Beach, donde la caña de apartamentos a primera linea de playa nos ha dejado un poco atónitos.

Hello,
I am with The Skrank Tank Theatre Company and this summer we have been touring "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare: Abridged" throughout Florida.  We have performed in sold out houses in Jacksonville Beach, Atlantic Beach, and Amelia Island.  Next Friday (Aug, 14th) we will be in Gainesville performing before their ...

It is the night before the big trip I'm so excited. We are leaving early in the morning and will most likely stop in Alabama tomorrow night. We will be in Arkansas by Friday and digging for diamonds. I'll let you know if we find any diamonds. Blog you soon.

... in 2010. Once back at the main visitor center we went on the Shuttle launch attraction which simulates a shuttle launch, this was really good. Then we had some lunch and then watched a 3D Imax film about the moon. Then we visited the gift shop, we then got on the coach and on the way home stopped off at the Astronaut hall of fame museum, before heading home, this only took 45 minutes.

... and took pictures to pass the time. When we got to International Drive we looked for Domino's and it took us a while to find it. We eventually found it, though, in a small shopping center right across from Old Town. We parked and went in to pick the pies up but they weren't done yet. We decided to take a walk a few stores down to the "Manhattan's Best Coffee" shop to see what kind of stuff they had. It was a bakery that had ...
