Update.
Visited Kennedy Space Center today. Dunno how I can better it, but with another visit tomorrow.

Did the basic tours, with a few shows and exhibits later, we did most of it in 6-7 hours. However, we did miss some stuff for tomorrow.
Admission tickets last 2 days (must use the 2 days within a 7 day period), I'd recommend that you use them for the 2 days, because you "will" need it, if you are really in to it.
Because it's winter, it's probably the best time to come here, only because you don't have to fight people for spots. Can't imagine this place in the summer, be hours trying to get a view of something.

Finished off today, with a suprise. Met Al Worden, from Apollo 15.
Had a photo signed and got a hat signed as well.
Told him, I used my scope to view the Apollo 15 landing site and made video's of it. He loved that. He picked up on my Aussie accent, asked where in Aussieland I was from. Said "Melbourne", he replied with "That's the only place that I haven't been to", told him, "well you better get down there, it's a great place". He laughed.

Going to be very hard to beat today. Happy Chappy.

I'll post some pics later (er soon).
