WOW!
I thought I'd added a "subscribe thread" request to this one. (I hadn't it seems.) As I saw no replies I assumed no-one had responded! As I am not in this forum often had not noticed the replies.
Now I see these are 3 pages of posts.
Yes tkey75 had kindly offered to host a little FT gathering on his balcony for this launch, in the Boca Raton doo thread:

And we talked to Mileage Addict in DC recently about hopefully getting together for this - in fact I recall it was him mentioning it, made us aware it was occurring.
We have now booked for December 7 at:
Hampton Inn Cocoa Beach
3425 North Atlantic Avenue
Cocoa Beach, FL

Anyone interested should PM me for info. We'll have some cocktails and then probably go to the beach for the launch. It will be spectacular.
