... high tech and has flight simulations and 3D cinemas showing movies about space and exploration. We both really enjoyed our time here and all the new information.

Whilst in Titusville me made a day trip to Melbourne (ha, ha), Florida that was extened into an overnighter and caught up with some of Jesses cousins. It was great getting to know them and to spend some time with them. Thanks guys for hanging out with us and for your generosity ...

... Del Ray Beach. For halloween I went to a street party in Melbourne on Friday night and Saturday night I wet to a small party at a friends house. Her garage is done up for halloween but all year long. It is crazy cool. She did everything herself. Take a look at my pictures to see how cool it looks. To end it, I drove over to my dad's in Bradenton, FL and saw him for 2 days. My most fun day however was going to Orlando and hanging with an OLD friend Todd. We went ...

... side of Orlando. This is a nice big house with plenty of room with several roommates all living under a roof. There's Travis, Josh, me, and Michell's step brother Mike. Gonna be fun to see how it's like all of us living together under a roof. Travis is still hunting for electrician job, but all the work's dried up, same as my field of work as a auto technician. The rent here is generous, and very affordable, so living here ...

... You couldn’t even get it into one frame for a picture!! It took 4 hours to get on… but we’re on now so… ya. But the pool looks so fun! There is also a surf rider thing that looks really fun. OOOhh and there’s an arcade! Well anyway, When we got on the ship, we got these cards that are basically our credit cards J And we went to the restaurant… and the Onion tart was GOOOOD! But it was mums ...

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.

... does this bug anyone else? Anyway picking up luggage curbside, customs and getting back to airport went smoothly. Flights were on time and cruel, cold weather awaited us in Detroit upon our return. All in all our first cruise was great and we are allready talking about going again, for longer, maybe someday with kids - not right away though :). Definately with friends.

... massive with the huge gantries etc. easy to see. We saw a brief movie of the launch procedure before bussing off to the Saturn Five facility where we saw a Saturn 5 rocket in its various stages along with the Apollo spacecraft it blasted into space and to the moon ...

... my bank and finally get paid back some 10 months later…moral: just rent to big brands, local rental are more expensive and cheaters. Yeah some of you reading this may think that was just “one” bad experience, whatever because all the other times I rent with a big brand they are cheaper, flexible, available 24/7, everywhere and without issues….all I need.

Can we call facing scarface another lifetime experience? For me it was….

... but the two dainty pixies didn't awaken. DAY 4: Bright and early and full of Airbourne (American Barocca), we met the coach and rolled on to Kennedy Space Centre. (passed the best looking cable ski place in the world, btw!)

... the 3D effects of 'It's a Bugs Life' were excellent. After catching 'The Lion King' production and the acrobatics and music of 'Tarzan Rocks' we headed off to leave the rest of the animals to the kiddies. We had planned to view the fireworks at midnight in the Magic Kingdom but alas when we rolled up to the gates the park was full! This was at 3pm - so headed for the best alternative and back to MGM Studios where we'd been yesterday. There were 35,000 people there ...
