So we wake up at about 9 a.m. We slept in alittle because we were going to head to the HRH. We got up, got ready and had our last breakfast at the club lounge and were off. I was so excited. In just minutes I would be checking into the HRH!!!! This was the only Universal resort that I had not been to yet and I was just so estatic to be going!!!!! We arrive at the HRH, and a bellman got our luggage. They gave us a claim ticket and told us to check in but that our room would not be ready. We were checked in by Elizabeth. She was a little "eager" and seemed very rushed. After checking in, we headed to Universal Studios via the walkway. Elizabeth said they would call my cell when our room was ready. I said "Thanks" She said "Take it easy!" They all said that alot! Guess, it's part of the script. Anyway, once we arrived at the Studios, we stopped at the Boulangerie. DS did not eat and he wanted a chocolate chip cookie and a pretzel from the stand across the way. It's vacation! Sure, have a really healthy breakfast. DW and I had the tuna salad croissant, and ham and cheese croissant. Total bill $17.84. I also bought the refillable mug. There is a new sponge bob one for $4.99. It's a blue sports bottle, with Sponge Bob on the front. Very cool! It came in handy on this trip and we got unlimited refills for $1.34. Great deal! After the early lunch, we did Jimmy Neutron, Shrek, T2, Jaws, ET, and Curious George play area. We did all the attractions with FOTL, but it was packed. More so than last year. We still got in within 15 minutes or less on all attractions. It was now about 3 p.m. We decided to See Beetle Juice and we rode the mummy. Great ride. Loved it as usual, but the animatronic was not working the first time around. We did pictures with Sponge Bob, Jimmy Neutron, Angelica, Shrek and now Dora the Explorer is there. She was really cute. After some shopping, we headed to Citywalk and had dinner at NBA City. We had crab rangoon as an appetizer, DW had ribs, DS had chicken tenders and I had BBQ pizza. How I missed that pizza. It was great. Total bill with tip $62.10 After dinner we walked around Citywalk and I checked my messages. Serge from the HRH called around 2 p.m. to advise we were in room 6096 and it was ready. We headed to the hotel and went to the room. The view was awesome. We had a pool view and we could see both parks and Citywalk in the distance. It was great. After freshening up, we went back to Citywalk, we did some more shopping, we got some fossil watches and sat down to see the fireworks. Great view from Citywalk. We then went to our room, showered and relaxed. Tomorrow! IOA!!!!!
