I love that you still stick to the "tried and true" approach that the early bird gets the worm! So much done at Universal in such a short period of time! That tram tour is awesome, that alone would be worth going to Universal Hollywood. The Flinstones restaurant is cute!

I'm a huge MSW fan and the part of the tram tour through Cabot Cove is still my fav. What a lot done in a short time.

I am just loving this TR Sharon!!! The Loews Hotel looks so beautiful especially the lobby area with the palm trees. Glad you got to see the carousel at Griffiths Park. I really enjoyed your pictures of the tram tour at US. I'm a big Desperate Housewives fan so I loved seeing the homes from Wisteria Lane. Can't wait for your helicopter tour.

Can't wait to see helicopter pics!
