Opening in Fall 2021, the Wizard of Oz Museum in Cape Canaveral should be a fun activity just a hop, skip and jump away from our Sandy Toes Townhouse 209. I know that Dorothy's red shoes are at the Smithsonian but this place says it will have other one of a kind memorabilia -- and who doesn't enjoy the Wizard of Oz!

Want to know what the Locals use for their internet launch information. Seems like the most popular sites include www.321launch.com or www.spaceflightnow.com or www.nextspaceflight.com. Looking for an app instead then try 321Launch or Space Flight Now or Launch Console available for apple and android. Better yet keep up to date via Twitter which is what I do. Have fun. And as a reminder Sandy Toes Townhouse 209 has great internet access -- even by the Pool!
