Rather than rantings of indignation, and disgust of a mad man, which I'm sure is the way Disney Executives refer to them. >> UM!!!! AHHHHH!!!! I'm almost in awe, you do have the power of the Force in you, Pierce. You do understand me!

Besides anyone else can jump in at anytime without worry of incrimination, to express their feelings on Cape Canaverial, and the wonders, and joys of the Space Program. In the meantime a bump of any kind keeps this thread at the forefront of discussion where all are welcome to participate.

In any case, there are a few tips here or there on MY topic that should answer some of the questions you were asking. You're welcome. Obviously, there isn't all that much to say about that section of Florida, so I think you pretty much got what you came for thanks to me. ***Compelled?? It was my topic!!! I figured other LPers might know a thing or two about the Orlando area. That ends that.*** Who's topic? Yours, I do believe, is still languishing and ignored in a rarely visited section. I thought I might help out by directing other peoples' attention to it. But as they say, no good deed goes unpunished. I'll definitely remember not to bother doing anything like THAT ever again.

I'm not sure what you were expecting or looking for? Busch Gardens in Titusville? Epcot in Cocoa Beach? Geez, enjoy your cruise why don't ya and rush back to Florida sometime or don't. -Florida Tourism Council

KSC, Merritt Island NWR, Ron Jon, Daytona.*** That's kinda how I saw it. There were plenty of good suggestions in the first 10 posts (plenty more, by the way, than you'd have found if your original topic had just sunk to the bottom of the pond), after that some folks struck up conversations about other stuff. So what? Deal with it. And again, YOU'RE WELCOME.
