But never forgotten!  The only positive about this location was a
fortuitous trip to Cape Canaveral on December 11 that happened to
coincide with the launch of the Mars Climate Orbiter - now only
remembered for the metric-imperial units screw-up that led to its loss
during Mars orbital insertion. Who needs standards?

Apalling hotel, Disney social, lack of nearby eateries (was it Charlie's
Steakhouse?) all put me off going again - I didn't.
