Another mind blower, now that I'm recapping everything that happened… Still at the LAX. It's now a couple minutes past 5PM. My flight isn't until 9:16PM so I've got some time. Yesterday I treated myself and spent a whole day in Universal City theme park. It was amazing. But what exactly was so amazing? After I visited all the attractions I already knew I decided I would not stop there and just go to the cinema but that I would go on and visit some of the attractions I haven't before. The Mummy, The Simpson's Ride, Shrek4D, …Although the line at The Simpson's Ride was so long that I waited for at least an hour to actually get into the vehicle, I was astonished. The best ride ever!! People, it actually takes you into a whole another world! And I'm not just saying that! It's like you're INSIDE the show. Forget about Shrek 4D or the Terminator . This ride was in a class of its own. And all the time I was waiting in the line I was thinking; “Should I just get to some other ride or wait it out?”. I waited and it was absolutely worth it. The other amazement was The Mummy rollercoaster. At first I scratched it off my list but then I heard from some people passing by that it's even faster that idontknowhat. So, that's why I thought; “Hm, perhaps it's worth a try.”
Frankly, I thought, that it was another skeleton wrapped in mummy wrappings-dropping out of the ceiling- roaring-dark-dull-ride. But what those people were saying changed my mind. And was I in for a rush or what. If you ask me, the whole ride lasted for about a minute. Perhaps it was longer than that, but the speed was breathtaking. I screamed my lungs out! And of course, at the end of the ride, when I was happily in a most ravishing peaceful moment of that entire day, the whole thing stuck, and the staff had to get us out of the carts one by one manually – how's that for »I'm never getting in that cart again« thought? But surprisingly, some people wanted to go again! Well, it's a free country. Luckily it was theme park closing time so the staff shut the whole thing down anyway. All's well that ends well.

Of all the Gin joints in all the places of the world you walk into mine (from Casablanca)... I grew up in L.A. , that is why I live in Alabama now- LOL-LA is a very tough place to cruise around or enjoy during a spot on vacation- One needs a dedicated "guide" who actually lives in the city or the unlimited time it takes to really figure out the traffic , the events, the daily routines, etc- If you don't have the native there to guide you it is almost impossible to get in any kind of a groove while on holiday or vacation to LA-Believe me I spent 4 months there one week ! LOL- Next time you go -please let me know & I will put you in touch with some veteran Los Angeles Underground inhabitants whom I grew up with, and these people know the city inside & out- LA will chew you up & spit you out-
