Looking for two seats on single or twin bound for OSH, one for myself and

That's one trip I've been promising myself for years (the other one is
a trip to Florida for a shuttle launch). Have fun!

We were visiting some of my wife's family in the Tampa area, when I
decided to go try and see a shuttle launch. My son and I got up at 5
a.m. and drove across the state, and found what we thought might be a
good spot with 15 or 20 minutes to go. A group of people there said
there was another spot a little closer, so we went there. That
location was on the side of a hill, and had large loudspeakers
broadcasting the countdown. We were there for a couple of minutes,
when they stopped the countdown with 19 seconds remaining.

So we missed it that time, but I would do it again.
