Arrived at the hotel eventually, a long day.
Didn't eat where we planned last night, last minute change of plan, ate within a 2 min walk of my Brothers house in Chiswick, Persian restaurant. Very nice meal. Back to his house getting late had a power cut, stuck as he lives in a gated community with electric gates power came back on after a while but late to bed and early flight.
Meet & Greet waiting for us at Heathrow. Easy bag drop, great flights with Delta, good leg room, on demand movies, nice food. Very friendly immigration with no line (other airports are so much easier than MCO) Ate at ChilisToo in Detroit, excellent burger (almost as good as Beaches & Cream)
Collected car from Dollar express, now in the garage and totally bypass the line inside. I was allocated a car as I booked SUV, got Ford explorer brand new but if you get regular cars economy to luxury you now choose your own from the catagory section.
Arrived at Hampton Inn LBV, really nice what we have seen but now have to be up in 4 hours for the Shuttle Launch.

Have a great time

very true - you do deserve a break from the PC -

An hour on the laptop end of each day is relaxing time for me

Got up at 3:45am this morning and rushed off to Titusville, hit a bit of traffic arrived about 20 mins to launch, it was packed, way more people than the one we saw August a few years ago. Easy to park, viewing point not too bad. My 1st night launch and the last there will be, amazing sight. Sorry pics not great, night launch very difficult without tripod. So glad we struggled with tiredness to go. Also a bit of video by Matt on YouTube, better than nothing but very difficult in dark. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qU-ZGXX9dt8
On way back, as we had not eaten since yesterday lunch, decided to try Cracker Barrel for brunch, 1st time here and as good as we were told it was, see pic table filled with food incl sirloin steak 3 eggs & hash browns each for myself and Matt, all for $32, great value.
Did some of the dreaded shopping we had to do, Matt got Tshirts & Converse trainers.
Rest for a while this afternoon then out for a meal with friends at Ale House, full rack of baby back ribs and 20(at least 25) shrimp, Matt and Karen had chicken parmesan, $48 total with 3 sodas. Pics when I upload.
Couple of pics of the car we have and I posted a pic in Purple Van thread.

Tomorrow I think we are doing Universal or Islands then to DTD for a book signing, Ridley Pearson, his new book Kingdom Keepers 3 is just out, Matt wants it and to meet him.

Almost forgot, so far best Easter weather we have had yet peaked about 87 today hope it carries on.

Fabulous photos. I've had a real yearning to be back in Florida this last week or so and they're not helping one bit!

 

[Pegasus928]

As usual Wayne a couple of great pics to remind us all what we are missing.
Sounds like it was well worth getting up early for the launch, and I am extremely jealous.

 

[jockey]

Have a great time
