If you have internet at the hotel while on the road, and maybe don't have XM or weather otherwise available, this is pretty good for weather planning. It's a link to wildfire information that in turn has weather links to the National Weather Service. There are lots of internet weather pages...

Any of you Florida hoons (or others) ever watch a space shuttle launch? Any advice for this landlubber on where to best view? Also any tips for roads from Huntsville to Orlando, any great beaches (topless or not), suggestions for best Florida rib joint or seafood? Leaving May 6 or 7 for...

Edit--oops, posted in wrong region, I think. Will go with the SouthEast. Duh... Sorry...
