Monday, April 28, 2008, Susan and I boarded Delta flight 1855 at 10:20 p.m. at Los Angeles International for Orlando, Florida. Arriving at 5:50 a.m., we got our Hyundai Sonata rental car and decided to go against traffic and head over to the “space coast”. Susan had made the mistake of telling me about her past trip to it with Annette, not knowing that in the early days of the space program I used to record all the coverage from the television on an open reel tape recorder (no VCR’s then, and no, I don’t still have the tapes). I was ecstatic, and she was not. We came to the compromise that I would go to the space center, and she would go geocaching. The tour was amazing, and actually seeing a Saturn C-5 (the rocket used in the Apollo moon missions, and the one that reportedly did not take off, but rather pushed the earth away) in person was awesome. Susan had a good time geocaching, and found new caching friends.
We returned to Orlando and checked into our Florida home, The Fountains, a growing timeshare that was currently renting suites during the construction.
