Launch date review

How dare they! These things never go on time! I cleverly, when the price was right, booked my flight early to attend the launch (proposed for the 12th of May 2009). Now they decide to bring things forward to the 11th of May. I will be landing at Sandford Intl....just as Atlantis STS-125 leaves the ground....Of course I wish them only Good luck...and the 11th hasn't been finalised yet see NASA release below. I'll be there for the landing at least.
