Comment by Jennifer Huber on September 13, 2011 at 1:01pm: Hi, y'all!

Just a reminder, there's a fairly new Titusville hotel near the Kennedy Space Center willing to extend a discounted rate to those attending our Sept. 24 gathering at the Kennedy Space Center.

The rate is $69 + tax per night. If you're interested in learning more, please message me or drop a line at jhuber7672[at]yahoo[dot]com.

See you soon!

Comment by Erika Wiggins on September 13, 2011 at 12:37pm: Hi Mike, thanks for all of your hard work! I just want to confirm you have me on the list before I book a hotel. I'm pretty sure I should be down, but I've been traveling a lot and might have missed something.

To everyone confirmed to attend the Meet-up at the Kennedy Space Center Visitors Complex on Saturday, September 24th, here are a few updates:

We are full-up. There are no more openings, so if your plans have changed, and you and your guest cannot attend, please let me know immediately.
I should have a final schedule by the end of the week and will send it out. Just waiting for our Visitors Complex host to supply it. It will include the time we should arrive, an overview of the day's activities, etc. Plan on a full day.
Milliken's Reef Restaurant (http://millikensreef.com) at Port Canaveral will host a small cocktail reception for our group after the Meet-up. My best guess is that we will probably arrive there between 5:00 and 6:00 p.m. Please let me know if you will be able to attend the reception, as I need to provide a head-count. Anyone who stays for dinner will receive 10% off their meal.

I will forward the day's itinerary as soon as I receive it. All the best!
