We were up early, had prayer, and went to breakfast.  We put our luggage in the hall last night to be taken down to the meeting area on the ship on deck 4.  After breakfast, we all met and deboarded, picked up our luggage, and met our tour bus that took us to Kennedy Space Center.  Our tour of the space center was very interesting and educational.  They had so much for children and adults there was not enough time to see all we wanted to see.  I told Debbie this would be a good place to bring Mrico and Ljubica when they come to see us in a few months.  Our tour bus took us to the Orlando Airport at about 3 PM.  Debbie checked her bag on Delta and Melodie and Vickie checked their luggage and the girls' luggage on Frontier Airlines.  Matthew and I waited with them until it was time for them to go through security.  Then Matthew and I picked up a rental car and drove toward Miramar Beach near Dustin, Florida.  I called Marriott and made reservations for us tonight at Courtyard in Sandestin.   I called and talked to Ora while we were driving.   We got into Destin and checked in at our Inn.  It was midnight Central Standard Time before we got to bed after having prayer.

Note:  We rented an SUV at the Orlando Airport and had driven about 4 hours and was on I-4 traveling west from Tallahassee when Matthew said Oh my goodness.  He had noticed for the first time the gas gauge.  It was dark, dreary, and raining.  I asked Matt what was wrong.  He said in 23 miles this SUV will be out of gas and we will be walking.  We had traveled for miles without seeing a gas station.  As we topped the incline and started down I spotted a Truck Stop.  I told Matt this is not coincidental.  The Lord is watching over and guiding us in everything we do.
