Blogging from Cocoa Beach

Arrived last night. Stayed at the Super 8 over in Cocoa for one night. Did the tourist things today: a nature cruise on the Banana River, shopping at Ron Jon Surf Shop, eating seafood for lunch and dinner. Also attended the Saturday vigil mass at the local parish.

Anticipation is building for Monday's launch. (Here's a NasaSpaceflight.com report on launch preparations.) Tomorrow, I may hit the beach in the late morning. Later mid-afternoon will be helping register people for causeway buses. (I'll be a bus captain on Monday.) Then there's a special IMAX event at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) Visitors Center and the the big Hubble-Huggers prelaunch party back here at the Holiday Inn.
