<p><b>I posted these on the CB,
thought they might be enjoyed here also.
Well, finally we will stop by Universal and a bit of Islands of Adventure
now. I always try to make at least a day for USF/IoA when in
Orlando. Two great theme parks they are.
BTW, when you get to the end of the pictures, maybe leave the window open for a bit,
great MIB theme music, about eight minutes long.</b></p>

<p><b>I posted these on the CB,
thought they might be enjoyed here also.
Well, finally we will stop by Universal and a bit of Islands of Adventure
now. I always try to make at least a day for USF/IoA when in
Orlando. Two great theme parks they are.
BTW, when you get to the end of the pictures, maybe leave the window open for a bit,
great MIB theme music, about eight minutes long.</b></p>
