Marlys

I live in Brevard County 10 miles from the port.  There is lots to do depending on your interests.  Exploration Tower is right there at the port and totally accessible.  https://visitportcanaveral.com/exploration-tower/  I can spend a couple hours there and love the interactive exhibits. There Is a small but very nice gift shop. There are many good restaurants right there at the port.  If shopping is your thing, yes, Cocoa Village is charming and has lots of interesting shops.  I am thrilled to live near the Kennedy Space Center and visit there at least yearly.  Some years we get the pass and go more often.  It is accessible for wheelchairs and scooters and staff is helpful.  The Atlantis exhibit is awe inspiring.  Don't miss the astronaut encounter.  The Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge is great for observing birds, gators, and manatees.  Only the Visitors Center and boardwalk are wheelchair accessible.  Blackpoint Wildlife Drive can be enjoyed from a car with a pair of binoculars. There are scheduled van tours but they are not wheelchair accessible.

We are Marlys Breckle and Bill Klein from Titusville, FL. This is our first American river cruise. We have done 4 river cruises in Europe and 1 in China. I (Marlys) really wanted to do the Mississippi one so we went for the whole enchilada.

As luck would have it, we are scheduled to be in the St Louis area on August 21, the day of the solar eclipse. We would like to find out how to be at the right location to experience totality. Is anyone else interested or have information to help us?
