    the end of our wonderful trip

    ok guys , i am starting early , as to get this all wrapped up tonight for you all [msnsmile2]

    friday 9th may universal studios and old town
    again , not too early as we had a late one last night at the kingdom
    so up and out by about 10am

    i can't say we ever got to any of the parks before opening times , so i don't know if it was better going a little later or not , but we certainly never queued to park or get into any where [msnsmile2]
    now again after a full day at universal .... really not too too much we had listed for this but needed to go anyway ...of course
    as you all know by now , we are not the biggest coasters out there oh my goodness
    the hulk !!! this is so big and goes on for ever , and i am sure it goes all round the park !!![msnsmile2] looked amazing , and the screams we heard were really reassuring to any first timers out there .not
    we made our way through super hero island .....bill my hubby was the first one to spot spidie [msnsmile2], but zoooom and he was gone
    daniel loves spiderman , and wanted to ride the ride straight away .it was a 50 min wait , so we decided to do it later on
    we watched dr dooms fearfall as we walked past it
    we did storm force acceleration after a 5 min wait , it was pretty good and they all loved it ,but i stayed out , and did the videoing , i was not feeling up to the waltzer aspect quite yet [msnsmile2]
    (it's getting pretty hard to remember some of the rides ) but still got me books in front of me to refresh me [msnsmile2]
    suddenly a loud siren went off , and we were all looking at one another thinking.whats going on here then , this is when it tells you all the super heroes are coming !!!
    they all pull up in the street , i think they were on quad bikes , spidie , captain america , and some more , who i am not familiar with , 5 in all i think but they don't hang round too long and are soon running about nice to see them though it was really entertaining
    we made our way to jurassic park , but the rides we wanted to go like jurassic park river adventure and pteranonon flyers had waiting times of well over an hour each
    what was going on we thought [msnsad]

    as we headed for toon lagoon and got in the queue for popeye and bluto's bilge rat barges which again was nearlly an hour wait , we kind of worked out what was going on [msnsmile2]
    we were sorrounded all ways by teenage american guys and gals all in the class of 2008 t shirts , and the girls especially having contests on who could scream the loudest and who was the best looking , it was quite funny , but it did soon start grating they were just sooo loud [msnsmile2]
    having getting down the queue we saw the barges help 12 people [msnoo] OH NO ...there was 8 of the beauty queens and 4 of us
    had to think fast , so behind us , was a lady and her 2 children looked just a normal family like us i kept having a glance at the lady and she too was getting a bit upset with all the goings on
    i said excuse me , would you like to be our new best friends and say we are a group of 7 ??
    oh she said that would be soooo great , thank you thank you and started clapping
    so 4 became 7 , the ride was really great , and we all had the best time

    so i guess we picked the wrong day to go it was so very busy and hard on the ears , it was a graduation open day
    but we can't grumble at all , this is the only day , we experienced this , and it is good to see all the young ones having a great day , as long as they are not in front of me when i am in a queue only joking

    had a look in seuss landing , as i am not too familiar with this i wasn't too sure what was going on , but it is really colourful , and there are some funny tunes on the rides , i guess the teenagers weren't too fussed on this location, as we got straight on caro-seuss-el , high in the sky trolley train , and 1 fish 2 fish ride
    that was so funny , although the water aspect stopped working on our turn , and we were so looking forward to a cooling down [msnsmile2]

    we had to take in spiderman, so

    thank you , and have a wonderful trip , not long to wait !!
    liesa thank you for your lovely commets , its been a pleasure and i am very glad it made you smile , i do hope you are feeling better very soon xx
    and to pamela and sandra , thank you also

    the million $$$$ question next trip plans
    well , ok here goes , [msnsmile2]
    to say we decided and booked and went all within 10 weeks and to be honest we did it absolutely right , taking the flydrive, and booking the most lovely villa , we couldn't have asked for anything to have been any better , and i wouldn't do anything different or change a single thing

    everything we had hoped to get from this trip we surely got !!! we loved every second of every day , and a whole lot more we never anticipated , sooooo as of this moment , we all said the same thing , to return , and to say for instance , ok we will go to magic kingdom today ........ it wouldn't hold that surprise , and anticipation , as to a degree , you know whats coming
    our memories will be with us always , and the pure magic of it will never fade
    as its not like saying , well we will go back in a couple of years when we have grown a bit and go on all the big coasters cause we wouldn't

    we said to daniel , he will be able to bring his kiddies when he is older , and when they ask to go on the hulk , will he let them !!!!
    its been amazing , couldn't have enjoyed it more , but we are glad to leave it there ......although never say never [msnwink]
    for us it's been a once in a lifetime adventure , and every bit was fulfilled
    from the planning before we left , every single minute was amazing !!
    we went every where we wanted to go , and did everything we wanted to do , with no queues [clap] the weather was perfect ..it was all just perfect , coulldn't be topped !!!! so we were very lucky in deed
    sharon xx

    Sharon, thanks so much for taking the time to write very entertaining reports
    It reminded me so much of our first trip, which just happens to be 11 years ago this week
    We found it so exciting that we couldn't talk about anything else for weeks
    Just be aware though, we found nothing else quiet compares and after two years of the usual Eurpoean breaks we were back[msnsmile2]and that's where we've been ever since
    Just so much to see and do[clap]

    Dawn
