Scott 0168 · 01-15-2009, 02:10 PM

Thanks Dick, I've been meaning to call you on the Florida rally schedule and let you know my trip plans as well.

Beach potato · 01-15-2009, 02:13 PM

Yes, flights to the area are running about $99. Capt Kirk will beam you down here for Priceline.

We are 2nd in the nation for foreclosures - about to become no.1..
Prices are down 40% and will go lower by spring.
I have made a couple of deals with banks to hold the payments for 7 months and then at a rate around 5 3/4%. I will buy more at 5%. I have been doing this for years. Called 'flipping'. I would be more than happy to connect you to Lorine, my Real Estate wizard. she is a Broker for Re/Max consider...no state income tax and heating bills are nothing...just got to put up with the end of August. (heat and hurricane parties) Most of us go to Tenn or N.Carolina for 3 weeks and come home Labor day. We still have about a thousand people moving to Florida every week so the basic economy is just fine. Any thing I can do for you...pin map has my contact info..........George

Absolutely, I can get you the best seats in the house. launches are cool.

Dont you need a paSSRport from Mr. Bellville....? 5 bucks for it and it will get you free coffee at Dicks house.

Shuttle was put on the launch pad yesterday...

Scott 0168 · 01-15-2009, 05:09 PM

Sounds good! Do you know the February date of the schedule Launch?

topjimmy · 01-16-2009, 08:13 PM

That is a very nice KOA and its not 3 miles from my house. My wife and I enjoy meeting other fanatics. If you would like a tour guide give me a pm for my phone #. What ever you do enjoy your vacation.

George let me know if that launch date and time happen to change.
Two weeks on my end and counting before we leave for Tampa!

Hope it warms up there a little!

Gina · 01-24-2009, 07:48 AM

We did the Kennedy Space Center last year (no launch) and thoroughly enjoyed it.

So do you need tickets for the launch?

We're in Tampa - beautiful yesterday and looks that way today.

Beach potato · 01-24-2009, 09:28 AM

Going to be in the 70's for quite awhile, are you still Fla the 12th. Any place within 10 miles of the Cape is 'the best seat in the house. There are outstanding views from visitor bleachers that are on site at the Kennedy Space center visitor complex. Comfortable bus to within the safety zone. BUT you can feel the concussion of launch in your chest etc. Thats for the space junkie like me. Most just go to the beach along Cocoa Beach or Cape Canaveral. Early morning launch so you need to be here by 4:30am or stay overnight in Cocoa beach area. Another choice area is the Highway along the river, just north of me - at Titusville. Very close view. I will have roger - sharpetoys- give you some of his favorite viewing area. the reason I prefer the beaches areas because I'm a beach potato..

Scott 0168 · 01-27-2009, 06:09 PM

9 more days untill blast off from here in Michigan to the warm weather of Floridia, We hope.

32Revolver · 01-28-2009, 10:14 AM

Joyce and I are leaving on Feb. 2nd. Heading to West Palm Beach to drop off the street rod. Then to Sarasota and Tampa. We'll be gone for about 10 days. The thought of coming back to all this snow, well you know what I mean!!

It's 79 degrees and sunny in Tampa right now. I'm watching the Super Bowl blimps flying around outside in the blue sky.

32Revolver · 01-28-2009, 05:23 PM

Vettegirl,
Save me a place to park in all that sunshine!! Looking forward to getting away from all the snow.

Scott 0168 · 01-28-2009, 05:38 PM

Scott 0168 · 02-01-2009, 08:25 AM

Watching the Super Bowl pre game shows this Sunday morning. Can't wait to hit the road!

Cool Blue · 02-01-2009, 09:51 PM

We are in Palm Beach, Fl and just finished watching the Super Bowl. It has been a little chilly. I am sure it will get nicer when all you northerners get here. We have been here for 1 month and I don't know where the time went. We ran into only 2 R's since we've been here. Hoping to get in touch with some fanatics this month. I know our buddy Scott will work out something. He always does. (Really feel for you Michigan fanatics and everyone who has to shovel snow.

Beach potato · 02-01-2009, 10:03 PM

chilly? We call it Air conditioning.

its 70 degrees!!!!!!
