If you are expecting day 2 details, I am sorry. I already warned you. We started as 6 from Pittsburgh. I didnt forget to introduce you the folks in first (episode?). Its a new style :-P. Here is the list. Me, Badri, Subbu, Magesh, Soms and Manish. Karthik started about 2 hours before us as he booked tickets in a different time than us. Totally there were 7 of us.
Once reached the resort, no one was in a mood to take rest. All of us were hungry and each of us had noted while we came into the resort itself that there was a Chinese buffet restaurent just outside the resort. We all walked straight into the restaurent cum bar and everyone had what they wanted. As you folks know, I am a vegetarian and had limited options. I drank what I would usually and we were all done by 11:00 PM.
Just because we all wanted to start early by 8:30 AM itself to Universal Studios to avoid rush, everyone half heartedly went to bed by 1:00AM after all the hangovers.
2nd Sep, 2006 - Universal Studios:
Till the point I was into Universal studios, I was under the notion that it is a place where film shooting is taken and it is going to be a long day there without much fun. Poor fellow I am. Neither do I have any of my friends visit Universal Studios from them nor was I interested to look into the website for details.
The sun was blazing down very hard and it would have been around 97 degree Fahernheit (approx 37 degrees celcius). The worst part is, the humidity was low as opposed to what we have in coastal India. I am used to even 45 degrees at Chennai, but it would be humid. I now felt the difference of heat in equitorial region and a polar region. I have read about the intensity of UV rays in the polar regions but really felt it only on that day. It was totally surpising to us as the prediction was something else (read 2 postings back).
Nonetheless, time to enjoy. No looking back. Sun or Rain, we are ready to relish and make the moments very happy (not to mention the $s we spent). All set for a great day of entertainment and fun for body, soul and eyes (ohooo).
