Problem with my Sister in Law, please help!!!!

[chunkichik]

I am going back to Orlando for my third time next October with my brother and sister in law for their second time

We have always wanted to do kennedy space centre and just never got round to it.

One problem, my sister in law absolutely refuses to go or have any interest in it!!! even a shuttle launch or to see the Shuttle

I am sure that she would enjoy it if we can get her there, can anyone help with reviews good or bad?

Thanks

We went for the first time this October and we spent the whole day there. I actually thought my kids would be board, but they were not at all. It is very interesting it was the highlight of that trip.

When we travel with family and friends and part of the group is not interested in something that others are then we go our seperate ways. I would never let my SIL prevent me if I really wanted to go. Let her do something else for the day or she can join you. We have learned that not everybody is interested in the same things and that is OK.

I love the space centre for the views on the bus tour.......but then I've always wanted to go into space.....so its of great interest to me.....

It's an absolutely awesome place and I think you would need quite an active dis-interest in anything scientific or space related to not enjoy a day there.

To generate even the tiniest smidge of interest why not watch Apollo 13 (Tom Hanks). It's a pretty good film even for non space buffs (imdb rates it 7.5/10) and now that Kennedy have created the new Saturn 5 centre it makes it all quite real.

If conspiracy theory is more your sister-in-law's thing watch Capricorn One instead and then go to Kennedy to decide if the space programme is real or not.

Either way it's quite thought provoking.

Hope it works out for you. It's a great place and it would be a real shame to miss it if it is something you really want to do.

We've been to Florida a few times in the past and this is always a must see for us.

No one is forced to go or refuses!

To think that you can see the actual Shuttle that Flies 100's of 1000's of miles on each mission just blows my mind!

To be able to see a part of the history of the world first hand and to be able to see the international space station in all its glory (Well parts of it) being prepared for its launch.

Obviously if you are lucky enough to get to see the launch, this just adds to the excitement of your trip.

Its just a fascinating place to visit, and the area is beautiful too.

Its a great day out for ALL ages!

The tour bus is superb, they explain what all the buildings are, take you to the launch area, take you to the viewing area they use on launch days.

I would suggest that you watch Apollo 13
I just love this film, knowing that I have been there and seen what they returned to earth in!!
It sends tingles down my spine!

Good luck with your quest!
You could always go on your own and leave the outlaw sorry inlaw somewhere else.

Remember its your holiday too!!

You'll regret not going! TRUST ME!

Kennedy Space Center is now better than ever with well organised tours of the complex. If you lot have never got around to visiting, you must do so this time. I suggest that you plan to be there by 9am so that you can finish it by 4 pm and have a couple of hours for the nearby Astronauts Hall of Fame

But if your sister-in-law is set against it, why don't you drop her off at the Florida Mall on the way and pick her up on the way back? It will not be much of a deviation from your route. Some people are simply not into Space things and rather than force them to come and make everyone miserable, best to leave them to their own devices for the day. I know because my wife is a bit like that; she has been to KSC just once in our 5 visits and does not want to go back again.

I would agree with Nostromo there...why should she be forced to go somewhere where she is adament about not going, by the same token why take someone somwhere with you when it could put a damper on the day ? Ask where she would like to go and then drop her off.

Kennedy Space Centre is a fabulous place and it would be a shame if she missed it but then it would be her loss.

If she doesn't fancy shopping, take her to Cocoa beach or similar, where she can relax in the sun on the pier and watch the world go by.

I love anything to do with space.(my husband thinks I'm from another planet anyway)
I have been to the space centre many times, and took my boys there in May. They loved it. It was always a good day out and very interesting but it has got better. There are more things for little ones to do now and the tours are great. I agree with Nostromo, get there early, there is much more to see than you would imagine.
Before we had children Bry and I were the first in there one morning and the last to leave when it was closing. We had to do the Astronauts hall of fame the next day.
It really is a fantastic day out. I hope the shuttle gets back in space soon.

We not let your SIL have a free day to choose what she wants to do, the cabs are great & she can do just what she wants; soak up the sun, shop till she drops or do something else. You should go to the sapce centre it is great![msnwink]
