Winding down now as we enter our last week. Was meant to go and watch the
shuttle launch today on the Space Coast but felt that the chances of a launch were slim due to the weather. I cancelled our Jet Ski expedition, where we were to take two ski's out to a sandy Island near the launch pad. Saved $450. Glad we did because the traffic around the area was horrendous before and after the launch. We spent the morning in the pool at the villa and watched the launch on telly. Just after the Shuttle took off we ran outside. We have a large open area out the back with clear, unobstructed views to the East. Our neighbors were also out. Then we heard someone shout...'there it is'. we looked, and sure enough we saw the Shuttle as it climbed high in the sky. Great moment!! Then the rain came. Thunder! Lightening. Never heard a noise like it...OK I have, in big
D's Church. Really weird hearing the
weather man stating that a low pressure is developing from the Bahamas.
Spent some time on Skype talking to the family (little bro says he lost a stone....hmmm!!! dropped an Olag somewhere).
We then headed out to Down Town Disney and enjoyed some time in
Disney Quest. David loved it. Playing non stop on five floors of games.

Headed home, stopped in Walmart for some food shopping. Me and Dave then cooked some fajita at the villa.

A nice relaxing day. Cooler than it has been all week. Only managed to reach 85 degrees today. Nice evening. Could jump in the pool at 10pm.
Fantastic!!! You managed to see the shuttle launch, and save yourself some money into the bargain!!! A moment in history for you all to remember, especially Dave. He'll be able to tell people, when he is older, that he saw the last shuttle launch. Hope you caught that on camera, Colin.
