Large tree roaches? Yes. The size of dogs? No. I imagine you have the same issues where you are now. I'm originally from Florida but we moved when I was quite young. I still have a lot of family in Florida (our family apparently does everything backwards since most Floridians start elsewhere and move to the state). In one of my recent-ish visits, my mother, my youngest cousin, and I went to Cape Canaveral. Expensive but so completely worth it. I got to see one of the shuttles on the launching pad. I give it two thumbs up.

There's Mission Control here and it used to be a pretty interesting trip. Now that NASA has contracted out and turned it into Space Center Houston, though, I've been only once with folks visiting from out of town. *shrug* The Saturn rocket is still damned impressive.

The last time I was at Disney World was before Epcot, which I think means I'm aging myself.
