When we found out that the space shuttle was going to be launched during our stay in Orlando.

"We just had to be there!"

So with fingers crossed, we travelled to Cocoa Beach.
We knew it would be a great place to watch the launch.

(Several years earlier we'd made the same journey, but the shuttle was canceled at the last minute due to a storm.)

Happily we all had a great day, all went to plan - without a hitch.
(Don't forget to watch our video)

Next was a visit to Daytona International Speedway.
And we just had to do the tour....

After a night in Downtown Disney we we decided to visit Sea World.
This was a first for us because there is so much to do in Orlando, that we'd never got around to doing it before.

Must say we were well impressed.

Capones was another first, but we've wanted to do that for ever.
It's a show based in the 1930s gangland Chicago. When alcohol was illegal.....

It was the best laugh we'd had in ages....

Well worth the $23, with an all you

He looks british to me!

The knotted hankie gave it away Pete... Come on dude it's Cocoa beach not Blackpool Beach...

can eat buffet and unlimited free drinks.
(As usual Skim made the most of that and could bearly walk a straight line after)

Having spent 2 great weeks showing our relatives around Orlando,
it was time to say our goodbyes and hit the road again.

This time it was to head back to New Orleans and then onwards to Colarado.

See you all again in our next blog.............
