Blogs from St Augustine, Florida, United States, North America - page 5

What an amazing place, Florida!! We think we have seen the best and then we move to another area of Florida and its even better. We enjoyed Jim and Deb and their friends so much it was sad to leave them after our week with them. They headed to Sarasota to catch a flight to Seattle and we took off in our little rental car for 2 more weeks of adventure. As adventurous as we can be with a pink lump attached to my right leg. Jim, Deb, Larry and I did the Kennedy Space Center. We drove from Boca Grande to Titusville and spent most of 2 days at the Center. Very interesting. We drove from Boca Grande, which is on the West coast of Florida and made our way to Sanibel and Captiva Islands. ... read more

St. Augustine to Savannah - 39°c After waking up in good time this morning and mercifully not finding any cockroaches in my room as Nathan and Tim had next door, I made my way down to the coach and even managed to log onto the internet whilst waiting on the coach for others to arrive - the wi-fi signal obviously strong enough where the coach was parked. It was a beautiful morning and made for a lovely start to our journey as we left St. Augustine and headed towards Savannah. We stopped off in Jacksonville around 10am for a brief half hour stop during which time I loaded up with some more snacks from a grocery store. Kristina made a joke about the fact that the back half of the bus (where I’m usually sitting) is ... read more

8am bags to coach! Only a 45min drive to the Space Centre - So we were there for doors opening at 9am. We were there for about 5 hours - which sound like a really long time, but we still didn't get everything done! We saw where all the rockets are take off from, touched moon rock, saw heaps of different presentations, real rockets from different Apollo missions... where they do work for the International Space Station... The only thing we didn't get to do because we ran out of time, was a simulation of being in a ship going off to space which we were really quite upset about! Got into St. Augustine around 4-5pm. LV, both Michelles and I went for a little walk... St. Augustine is a really beautiful town. It's apparently the ... read more
