Now for the quick vacation part

Who are we kidding? This has been a great week of great people, places, and work. We accomplished alot for ISS science with our partners from around the world, and in the off hours took advantage of our location. Mostly the food :) Fried cheesecake, flaming strawberries, and fried bread pudding are just a few examples...

Today ended the final day of meetings and it ended around noon. Paul joined us in time for lunch and then we and TT hit the beach. It got H_O_T out there so we went into the water.

I forgot how badly salt water burns the nose and eyes. And the last big wave went straight into my nostrils and down the throat. B_U_R_N. Sinuses = clear. Once Dr Oz talked about cleaning the sinuses with a saline nasal wash. Well there you go, Doc.

TT and I are about to go over to KSC to snoop around like silly tourists in a few minutes. Paul's napping. We're just playing the rest of the night by ear but I think I'm kinda tired to go to any launch parties. We'll see. I already could use a nap!

We got an email from Paul's mom that said Anna is talking to her pretty much non-stop and seemingly having a great time today. That's an unimaginably huge relief to hear and it makes me realize the little vacation is good for everyone.

Tomorrow's Paul's birthday, the shuttle launch, and Universal Studios. In that order :)

Well, off to KSC. Hopefully I'll make it an early night tonight...

Later from Cocoa Beach.
