I've wanted to see a launch for ages, and when it was time to plan this year's holiday I checked for shuttle launches and chose our dates to give us the best chance of viewing one. The original date was for Thursday last week, and we flew out on Wednesday knowing that if there was a delay of a few days we'd still be here.
The view from "Space View Park" where we were was great, and the atmosphere electric. We got there 5 hours before scheduled launch, and even so the best spots were taken by people who got there up to 4 hours earlier than us! The place was packed about an hour or so before launch.
