Steve's HOUSE
THIS IS A TYPICAL PLAN for the organization of a shuttle trip...  a visit to the beach at Cocao so you can see the shuttle's launch.  


I'm letting you know about the shuttle.... maybe thestudents can organize a trip leaving at 1:30 pm from TALK, arriving in Cocoa around 5:45, eat a quick sandwich, watch the shuttle, then drive to Orlando for 3 hours of fun at Disney Quest  (from 8 pm to 11 pm)  then home in Fort Laud by 3 a.m. !!!!!!!!!  Cost of Disney Quest is $29 (play all of the games you want to....)
People who want to leave from Cocoa at 6:15 will be back in Fort Lauderdale by 10 p.m.

FROM  Ft Lauderdale

Look NORTH.  The shuttle appears about 15 degreees over the horizon.  If you hold your closed hands (f_sts) infront of you with your arms stretched out, put one fist horizontal and the second fist on top of the first fist.  Then you will see the Shuttle above your second fist.

If you have questions, send them to me at englishlesson@mail.com

IF YOU WANT TO DRIVE TO COCOA BEACH

Go north on I-95 about 3 hours.  It is about 200 miles or 320 km.

Go east on route 520 or 528 and go to A-1-A.  Go to the beach and look north.  After the Launch, go to the Pier at Cocoa.  Ask anyone "Where is the pier?"
