My mother and I are visiting some relatives in Vero Beach in May. I've planned the trip to coincide with a Space Shuttle launch May 14th. Hopefully it doesn't get pushed back to the previous day.

Where is a good location to watch a space shuttle launch from? I suspect it's a bit late to try to get too close, especially since the shuttle program is winding down.

I'm hoping that there are some folks that are semi-local that can tell me some best kept secrets.

I went to college in FL in the late 80s and early 90s and never went to watch a launch. I'd really like for myself and my mother to get to see a launch before the program ends. If May doesn't work out, I might have to make a Shuttle launch only trip to one of the other summer launches.

Thanks
