We are going to see a space shuttle launch !!!! - Maybe
After booking the house, we started to plan the holiday.
Wasn’t there something about a delay in the space shuttle launch in January ???? Yes - the proposed launch date for STS122 is Feb 7th.
Cool, they still have spaces available to watch the launch. So, I got my credit cards and booked four places. The tickets are going to be sent via UPS to us in spain and include a “space shuttle launch” package (Whatever that is).
To watch a space shuttle launch has always been a dream of me - I am really looking forward to it.
We are going to Florida …..
Today we reserved a really beautiful house in Orlando for a vacation in february (4th to 18th). We had a lot of work in the past three months and the boys didn’t see too much of us, so we decided to extend the school holidays of the boys a bit and to go to Florida.
We contacted Sandra (the owner of the house we rented last year). However, the house is not available in our required timeframe.
Helga fired up her browser and started to look for alternatives. Soon, I could hear comments like - look at this beautiful house, look - they got a hot tub, Wow - this is nice.
Finally, she had a whole list of houses, a ton of emails (we need a fast, wireless Internet connection among other things). It was like Florida central next door.
In the end, we reduced the list to 4 houses, which were suitable. Still, we had to decide “Should we go, shouldn’t we go…”
On Friday, one of the owners called me (”Your wife talked to my wife” - like “your lawyer talked to my lawyer…”) and told me about his house in Calabay park. It turns out, that he owns the house next door to the house we were last year in. Also, he knows Sandra privately.
Of course, his house was better, more luxurious, better lighting, etc. So, Allan and Sandra (the two “competing” owners), we are going to report here our blog about our experiences.
Have a look at where we are going to spend some time.
