Well Monday I'm going to go to the beach and see an ocean, it will be the first ocean I ever see. Do a little swimming there.
On Tuesday morning I want to head up to Cape Canaveral and see the March 11 space shuttle launch. Have to wake up early, 2:30 AM launch time.
Wednesday I want to take a drive down the Florida Keys and see the Everglades.
But Thursday and Friday I'm kinda not sure what else to see. Any tips?
Cause I don't give a rats about who took second or 12th for that matter your just the next loser in a long line of many losers.

Epcot in orlando is fun.
I'd reccomend staying in Fort Wilderness in Orlando ( right in disney ), and going to see the hoopdie doo revue, expensive, but worth it.

That would be something to see! I've heard that Cape Canaveral has a lot to see even if there is not a launch. The road to the Keys would be really cool to drive on, there was a show on TV about it one night showing how they constructed those bridges.
I've been to Florida twice to visit family but they are in the Pensacola area which is the opposite side of the state from where you are visiting. One thing about Florida is that the weather is pretty much always nice.
Have a great vacation and post some pictures of your trip.

Daytona beach, I loved it there when I went down. Seen the speedway too, very cool.

while drivin down to key west if you make it that far and cross the 7 mile bridge they have a couple scenic veiwing areas to get out and check out the bridge and stuff,it was pretty cool to see the old one next to the new one... and also keep your eye out for "fat albert" hes mostly in the sky its a big white blimp lookin thing.sends tv signals to cuba i think along with monitors boat and aircraft traffic i think mostly for drug runners and immagration...you can check out all the details on the net of what it does...
my old neighbors used to have a house in marathon and then moved to islamorada or big pine key i cant remember, used to go down there for a couple weeks every other winter and go fishing.
also i forgot if your goin down to the keys to take some crackers and feed the "key deer"
the biggest ones are the size of fawns up here but they come right up to ya if ya got food, you can pet them and feed them that was pretty cool. cant remember what island they are on mostly though..

I plan on bringing the camera and my buddy is going to have his laptop is along, so if I have internet access maybe I'll give a day by day blow by blow account.
Cause I don't give a rats about who took second or 12th for that matter your just the next loser in a long line of many losers.

They come in my Mom & Pops place all the time. They eat the lemons off my Moms Lemon tree. I used to jump off the Bahia Honda Key bridge and then swim around to the beach, until I heard about "Big Moe" the Hammer Head shark  I've been going down there my whole life. The Lower Keys are the best!
