Well we are safely landed in Orlando. Mark, Ray, Eddie and I are here for almost two weeks, first for the American Society of Hematology conference, then for plain fun and relaxation.
We had our first day at the conference yesterday--obviously Mark and I were way more into in than the other two, but we did manage to find a surgically applicable talk for Ray and a peds talk for Eddie. Mark and I will be going back today for some of the ground breaking research presentations.
Last night however, we managed to make it Tutsiville (which is right next to Kennedy Space Center) to watch the launch of the Discovery Shuttle. It was SO cool. We were right on waterfront across from the launch pad. There were a whole bunch of local people lined up sitting on lawn chairs. When the shuttle took off it lit up the entire sky as though it was daylight. It was really awesome.

i think that would have been a pretty amazing experience....
Excellent! That would be the way to see the space centre. The Hansens thought it was very boring when they went, course, they never saw a launch. I'm sure all of you will pick up something at the conference.
Did you get my message about ordering dresses?
