One other possibility you might consider is joining the National Space
Society for the sake of their shuttle-launch tours.  (God knows there's
precious little other reason to join NSS...)  They handle accommodation,
local transportation, and trying to get a good viewing site out of NASA.
(I don't know what the situation is now, since the KSC rules have been
tightened up a bit, but I watched the 41C launch with an NSS tour from
3-4 miles away, rather closer than you could get on your own.)
