Day 0 &1

Hello, my name is Kristina Misegan. Getting to the conference was the difficult part. After our plane ride getting cancelled out of Sawyer we had to find an alternative way. Which means we had to drive 3 hours to Green Bay. We left at 7 in the morning on Wednesday and arrived at Green Bay airport about an hour before we had to board. We had a bit of an issue with the seating when we got on the plane, this woman had a child and they didn't set up the seating chart correctly. After getting that figured out, we took off. We arrived in Chicago and had around an hour layover. We ate at Wolfgang Puck, we all ordered pizzas, they were huge and greasy. Then it was about time to board the plane, and all our seats were pretty separate. I fell asleep for an hour then finished some philosophy homework, so I was happy about that. It was dark when we arrived in Florida and we got separated when we needed to take the shuttle to the hotel, Waylind and I left after Daabii and Larry but arrived early. We had some troubles with taxes but once we figured that out, we went to our rooms, freshened up and then left to dinner. We ate at this fancy restaurant in the hotel, it was expensive but not that yummy. After eating dinner we just hung out and then went to bed shortly after. 


The next morning I woke up at 7 am, after getting ready Larry and I went down to the lobby to wait for the shuttle to be picked up for the NASA tour. We got some fruit for breakfast and ended up waiting in the wrong spot for 15 minutes. Thankfully Larry realized it and we went to the right spot. The ride was about an hour long, but on the way we saw an eagle and an alligator! I was ecstatic to see the eagle and it was my first alligator! Once we finally arrived at NASA around 9:30 we found out we will be spending most of our tour on the bus which was somewhat disappointing. It was still a very interesting tour, the tour guide seemed to really know his stuff and told us a lot history. We were able to see the most historic launch pad in NASA, it was launch pad A, and was the launch pad for Apollo. We were able to leave the bus and take group pictures with it. After that we saw another eagle! Double luck. Also we drove the bus up this little hill and were able to see the Atlantic Ocean! It was my first time seeing the ocean in person, that was amazing we were so close. Once we left we went to the NASA building and we were able to watch a shuttle take off and we were able to hear the talk between the astronauts and the people conducting it. The bus took us to the NASA touring site where Larry and I had nachos and waffle fries. We also went to the two story gift shop. We bought many gifts for family members. Then I got an ICEE which was very yummy. After the tour on the way back we say this huge eagles nest, a few feet, high up in this tree. Then the eagle was in the nest! 3 eagles in one day and an alligator so it was an awesome day for sight seeing animals.


After this, we swam for awhile and came back into the lobby to use the Wi-Fi to start the blog and to work on some homework. While we were all sitting out here this woman that was working in the resume workshop all day comes over and assisted us all with all our resumes. She was very helpful and nice. We just returned from eating dinner, we went to Bahama Breeze, I ordered the black bean burger, it was pretty yummy. Now it is night time, goodnight.
