Up early for 8:00 flight. Easy check in. Our plane sat on the runway in Phila. for about an hour and 20 minutes waiting to take off.
Only waited about 10 minutes for Mears. Our driver (Frank) was entertaining.
Check in at HRH was fast and easy. We were given a pool view room. Went to City Walk and had lunch at Margaritaville. I had Cuban meatloaf, which was very good. Went to IOA rode Cat in the Hat, saw Poseidons Fury (stand by 60 min.- we walked right in)- rode Spider Man (wait time 90 min) LOVE that room key. Went to ride the Hulk, but it was down!! Did Jurassic Park River Ride and got soaked. I hardly got wet the last time I rode. It seemed everyone was getting soaked todaydont know why. Back to the hotel to clean up. Delicious dinner at Mythos. I had the Corvina, which was out of sight. Even the vegetable was great. They just have a way of blending flavors there. Then I had the warm, gooey, chocolate, banana cake. Cant begin to describe how much I love that!

Sleep. To Universal. Did Terminator, Back to the Future, MIB, ET. Had lunch at Lombards Landing. Very good blackened grouper. It rained. My nephew drove up from Westin and had a room at the Royal Pacific. Thunder storms. We lucked out and caught the bus because the boats stopped running. RP is very nice. A lot of wood and a cute back scratcher hanging on the bathroom door. Rain let up so we went to IOA. At City Walk, my three year old great niece stopped dead in her tracks when she saw a car on the Hulk go by. Her mouth dropped open and she gasped and said, Look at that! It was so cute. She had to stop and look at it when she entered the park too. Rode Hulk rode with my nephew. Back to the hotel. Dinner at the Latin Quarter. They still have the best chips and salsa Ive ever had. Watched the fireworks behind Captain Quints Seafood and Chowder House. FANTASTIC fireworks for the 4th!!

Rode Cat in the Hat, One Fish Two Fish. Rode Jurassic Parkdidnt get really wet this time. Rode Spider Man. Had a GREAT lunch at Mythos. To the hotel to the pool and of course it started to rain. We sat there under an umbrella in the rain.
Went to US- did Hannah Barbara. Had dinner at the Hard Rock Café. The RP pool was closed that day because someone had an accident in it! Went to IOA to see the Island Blast Fireworks. Watched them from behind Mythos. Rides were still running after the fireworks.
