Ryan & Christina went home today, and we relaxed in Lily. I had made a lasagna, so I sent them home with some and we ate the rest for dinner.

Another relaxing day as I started to sort out my suitcase for the trip to the UK.
Monday May 20th, 2019
We went back to Universal Studios. This time we went the opposite way around. We started at Islands of Adventure.
We walked through Seuss Landing.
We went on the "High in the Sky Seuss Trolley Train Ride". It was a short fun ride for young and old!!!!
We managed to find a "sneetch" while up on the ride!!!!
We carried on walking through the park.
"The Lost Continent" was next.
Next stop was the "Wizarding World of Harry Potter" and back to Hogsmeade Station. This time we were taking the Hogwarts Express train back the other way, from Island of Adventures to Universal. No platform 9 3/4 this way. Bear that in mind if you ever visit, and can only go one day. Get the train from Universal to Islands of Adventure to experience the 9 3/4 platform. Remember, you also have to have a park to park ticket.
Back in Universal Studios, we saw a sign for Fear Factor Live, but decided we definitely didn't want to participate in that, although it was time for lunch.
We decided to go back to the cafe we ate at yesterday. I had the fruit tart, yummy!!!!
We went through the side of the park we hadn't done. Starting with "San Francisco".
Bryan went on the Fast & Furious ride. I sat with a lady and waited for him. She was telling me that she has been on all the rides in the park, and there was only one she wouldn't do again. It was the Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit. We could see it from where we sat. It has a climb and then a near vertical drop. She said she was scared she was going to lose her glasses. We could see it, in the distance, from where we sat.
Next was "New York". I said on a bench while Bryan rode "Revenge of the Mummy". He was riding the rides today, while I was content to sit, people watch and wait. He also got through the lines for the rides much quicker as he took the single rider option and we didn't have to pay for a locker to put our stuff in.
Just around the corner was "Production Central". This time I found a bench in the shade, and Bryan went on the "Transformers" ride.
Monsters Cafe was here as well.
and the "Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit ride that the girl I spoke to earlier said she wouldn't ride again. Bryan decided he had done enough rides for the day.
We decided we had seen enough today, but it took us a while to find the way out. Eventually we found it and made our way back to the car.
We were looking for somewhere to eat, the place we chose had closed down, but suddenly we saw Del Taco. Well, that was an instant decision. Orlando is the only place we have seen Del Taco, apart from the West Coast and it's one of Bryan's favourite fast food places.
Tuesday May 21st - Thursday May 23rd, 2019
I spent these days buying last minute things for my UK trip, organizing everything and making sure everything was in place for Bryan's trip across country(although he booked his hotels), and both our trips to UK, packing and resting as much as possible.
Bryan went back to Universal Studios on the 22nd. I was going to go, but I was just too exhausted, so he went on his own. He didn't take any pictures as he wanted to go with no extras that he couldn't take on the rides, so he wouldn't have to put anything in a locker. He went on most of the rides in both parks, including the "Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit". He said it wasn't that bad.
He has one day left on his ticket and I have two. I doubt we will use them, but they are valid until the end of the year, so you never know.
Tomorrow, I leave for the UK.
