"July 4th, at Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 39 in San Francisco - the emphasis placed on National unity and coming together as one . It was great to experience being part of these celebrations." "The laser and fireworks spectacular at EPCOT was amaz- ing. Actually EPCOT itself was totally memorable with all different country set-ups ."

MOST ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCES "Disney World and everywhere we went. " "Universal Studies and Kennedy Space Centre ."

"Kennedy Space Centre. It put everything we had learned in Space Camp into perspective. It was great actually being where all the space shuttles are launched from." "Seeing the space shuttle, Columbia, on the launch pad. " WORST EXPERIENCES "There probably wasn't one, but the least good experience was the first lecture on Monday morning at 7.20 a.m. after only six hours sleep." "The delay in Memphis when we missed the connecting flight to Orlando." "Losing the key to our safe which contained all the travellers' cheques, passports and a camera. " "Cafeteria food at Space Camp was pretty bad but the Americans in our group assured us that all American food was not like that. " QUOTES "So you 're sixteen. Is that in American years?" "17Je capital ofAustralia? T71at 's New Zealand, isn't it?" SYSTEM

The fun was fixing all the problems . Fixing broken bones with duct tape (it's like the force: it has a dark side and a light side and holds the Universe together) and eating pizza ."

"Shopping at Macey's. A Calvin Klein shirt for $18! It was amazing." "EPCOT. I never thought education could be so much fun." "Shopping in San Francisco was the best thing. " MOST MEMORABLE EXPERIENCES "Being barked at by the 'Silver Man' in Union Square in San Fra ncisco. " 'I' . 0 , ~ 1/ ~ I I

"Space Camp was one of the best experiences of my life. It was something that I loved every minute of from the first laugh to the last tear (and believe me we cried when we left) . I have memories that will stay with me for the rest ofmy life. I'd noticed 'You'll have the time of your life' written around the place a couple of times by past campers .When I looked back at the end of the week, I realised that was what had happened in Huntsville, Alabama ." - - ---------------------85 -----------------------
