Tried for the Feb, 2008 launch but weather in the Midwest canceled my flight and missed seeing it.

Had last minute VIP access for the night launch in March, 2008 through my girlfriend’s family, but too expensive to do at last minute. :(

Was planning for the April, 2008 launch and they moved that to May, 2008 (memorial weekend) so booked my tickets for that. They then moved at the last minute to May 31st, 2008. :(

I’m planning my trips at the same time of going to see my girlfriend. Hopefully, I’ll get to see a launch before they retire the Shuttle fleet.
