Orlando - EPCOT

Immediately following the Aubrey and Steve's reception, I was on a plane to Orlando for PowerSchool University. I was bumped to First Class, so I was able to stretch out and sleep the whole way (it was the red-eye flight). I went to work at 2:00 pm the next day after flying all night. I had a great time training and even spent an evening at EPCOT. They fed us a meal before we went into the park so I didn't feel like eating any more food in the venues (which really what the park is about: pavilions, food, and souvenirs.



The space shuttle launched while we were there. We were about 10 miles away and the sky was overcast, so all we saw was something like a brilliant candle. Some of the clients went to a place
where they could view the launch up close and feel the earth move. Here a few of us from PowerSchool are. We snuck out on the roof so we could get a better view . . . that we didn't get.

Nice to see the posts. I think the coolest part would have been the shuttle launch.

Epcot and a shuttle launch, doesn't get much better than that. Too bad you didn't get a better view of the launch. Next time you go, invite us!
