Moving on to Melbourne, Fl


2/26
     We traveled 35 miles to Melbourne Harbour Marina.  It was a very easy, pleasant trip.  This town has a charming historic downtown area within walking distance!  The marina is small and nice.  The next day was overcast and rainy and we spent the afternoon watching the academy award winning film, The Green Book.  We really enjoyed it!
     We spend a lot of time planning where to go to next!  We booked a reservation for a marina in Titusville starting March 1.  I got on line, like I usually do to find out what there is to do in that area.  The Kennedy Space Center is just a few miles away, so imagine my delight when I found out there is to be a Space shuttle launch scheduled for March 2!  We got real excited and decided to buy tickets to the "Feel the Heat" experience, an up close and personal visit to view the launch! The launch is scheduled for 2:48, but what I "overlooked" was that it is for 2:48 AM!  I just assumed it was for the afternoon!  Ha, Ha, now we have these expensive and nonrefundable tickets to see the launch which will occur in the middle of the night!
     We are usually the early to bed, early to rise sort of people, but we are coming around to thinking this will truly be part of our adventure that we will treasure!  It should be a spectacular site, seeing the shuttle streaking through the night air!
     We are looking forward to it, and hope to get some good pictures!
