Dad and I are sitting in the airport right now. The lines have been pretty long. No doubt the throngs of disappointed would-be shuttle spectators have swollen the already stout crowds of folks returning from more conventional vacations. We have seen a lot of people from the UK and, to a lesser extent, Germans and Scandinavians. Orlando really does seem to be an international tourist destination. Dad got a book at the store just now so I think I’m going to grab a coffee and read mine as well.
If they decide to go ahead with the pared down mission schedule in December the decision to come back or not will be tough. If the go ahead and push it all the way to February when STS-134 was supposed to launch I am much more likely to try again.
I did have fun despite the launch scrub. Next time I think the plan will be to stay the entire window and just not worry about trying to keep the trip short.
