O.K. Just back today. What a vacation it was!! Tiffany towncar picked us up at the airport, very nice driver, Daniel. Check in at HRH was a breeze. We had a garden view room on the 5th floor. I am a Loews member, had the card with me and knew what to ask for. Well, no upgrade, that's o.k. with me. As for an ammenity, well, that got to be the family joke. Where's your fruit basket Mom??? Nope, not here yet.... Never did get my fruit basket, asked for it 3 times. Wasn't meant to be... Lucky for me they had really nice fruit cups at the Sunset Grill. The room: Beautiful view of lagoon and boat dock and beyond. Room was lovely, tastefully decorated, plenty of space for the 4 of us. At check in, I had again requested a roll-away bed for my 14 year old son. They had none available, perhaps the next night. O.K. By Tuesday night, being without the roll-away for 2 nights, my husband just helped himself to one that was left in the hallway. Hey, you do what you gotta do.
The front of the line access made our vacation just awesome. We did Spiderman first. No wait for us. It was great. I am really prone to motion sickness, and Spiderman did not make me sick at all. We browsed through IOA, and headed to Universal. We did lots of rides including Men in Black and Jaws (at night).
With the front of the line access we managed to easily do all of IOA on Monday. The water rides were great, my favorite was Jurassic Park River Adventure. DH and sons favorite ride at IOA was Fearfall. They loved it. I did the Hulk last night of vacation, purely out of peer pressure. Well, advice for those of you about to do the Hulk. Don't close your eyes. Got off the Hulk, had to go back to the room to lay down. Swear to God. It was all I could do not to throw-up, my whole body was discombogulated. (This is a word isn't it?) I felt terrible!!! So, back to the room we all go. I layed down for about an hour, then I was o.k. to go down to the pool. Just lounged and watched the boys play basketball. Next time (yeah, right), I will keep my eyes open!
More later, dog is looking at me like "geeez you've been gone all week, how about a walk?"
