I’ve grabbed a brief moment between dealing to the aches and pains of a body that’s been dragged around Universal Studios today and the desperate longing for bed.

A large part of me – the small enthusiastic girlchild within – cannot understand why 1) my body cannot keep up 2) is outside the perimeter for some of the best rides ( read ALL Harry Potter ones) and 3) hurts so much after dragging around and around the theme park in 105° heat and humidity.

It has not deterred me from trying though and today, Marcie and I went and did around eight rides/show/attractions in the Studios lot.

Tomorrow we plan another similar at the Islands of Adventure one. At least there are two water rides as part of it.

Back in the apartment I ran the spa bath and let the little jets of water pound my aches and pains and clean all the sweat away.

I wish I could add photos – check Facebook for them.

I’m staying with Marcie and her Mum in a glorious timeshare apartment so roomy it’s bigger than the house at home. True. We’ll be here til Friday enjoying the unexpected luxury of the apartment and the fun places nearby.
