Welcome to Cape Kennedy Space Travelers!
Hi Friends!!!!! Please step into the boarding tunnel – I know you can’t ALL fit
into this small area but do the best you can and come on in.
I’m heading to the Control Room!
“Spaceship Ralph is fueled up and ready to go when we are.”
CALLING MISSION CONTROL
“Sammy to Mission Control……..We’re boarding now….please stand by for BLASTOFF”
I told you this spaceship would be “different” than you thought!!
Make yourselves comfortable – this is one FAST spaceship!!
10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1
BLASTOFF!
Can you believe it? Everybody we’re at the Space Station already!
Go ahead and begin exiting the ship and into the Space Shuttle – I’ll be with you in a few minutes!
A few of our travelers want their bags – thanks for the help you all – I’ll go into the dining hall to make sure everything is ready!
Wow…….some spread! Come on in everybody, help yourselves to the great food, take a bit of a break, then meet me
back in the entryway where we’ll once again get aboard Ralph for the rest of our trip to the Moon!
RE-LAUNCH FROM SPACE STATION HEADED FOR THE MOON!!
…..a short time later…..
“ATTENTION SPACE CADETS……THIS IS SAMMY SPEAKING FROM THE CONTROL ROOM…..PLEASE BUCKLE UP……WE ARE ABOUT TO LAND ON THE MOON! PLEASE HAVE YOUR BELONGINGS READY TO TRANSFER OFF RALPH AND ONTO THE SHUTTLE BUS TO THE HOTEL…..”
Off we go to the Stardust Hotel……..see it in the distance? Isn’t it beautiful???
The Stardust Hotel Welcomes You!
When the shuttle arrives, please assemble in the reception area and we’ll get our room keys. I know you’re all as tired as I am so let’s call it a night !
I hope you’ve had a great day– I sure have. I’m so happy all of you came on this trip……. 🙂 🙂 🙂
SO WE SAY GOODNIGHT TO OUR INTREPID BAND OF SPACE CADETS AS THEY SNUGGLE UP IN THEIR ROOMS AND GATHER THEIR ENERGY FOR DAY TWO OF THE TRIP!
(Here are a few of our travelers in their rooms…..I bet they didn’t know we have hidden cameras! Tee Hee)
A Note From Chaperone #1 “Mom“…….there was no way to get everyone into every photo as you can imagine…..there are some of you who won’t appear in ANY photos and some in more than one…..it was just too much to try and keep track of…..so please don’t be disappointed if you don’t see yourselves! Just relax and have fun……there are two more days of MOON to go!!
TWO Spoiled Cats 
Whoop whoop! Whee are just loving this adventure, whee cannot wait to moon walk and try out our super trendy moon boots!
Rest well Sammy, the next part of the adventure is going to be even more fun, we just know it!
