Calling all seasoned travellers & dreamers
I'm planning to go to the US for a 4-5 week holiday in Nov-Dec, and looking for some ideas & advice.
Given I'm 34 and have had a lifelong passion for things spacey, I want the trip to be dedicated to experiencing some of those things that I have only been able to gaze upon with wonder from afar. My (very understanding) partner S is graciously letting me travel on my own

, so I want to make most of revelling in space stuff while I can.
One thing definitely planned is to be at the Cape on Dec 6 for the Atlantis launch. What I'd really like to hear is what obvious & not so obvious astro-places you would recommend to go / see / do etc anywhere on the North American continent.
Thanks!
Blair
