“Hey Dear Dear look at the PINK Tree over there!!” screaming at Dear as I run towards it & at the same time telling Dear to snap pics of Me with it!!!
Hahah PINK Trees (or rather Pink Poui or Pink Trumpet Trees) - I just love them so much ever since I laid my eyes on my first PINK Tree in Spring time at my House backyard (inside my neighbour’s garden) at Geelong in Victoria, Australia when I was a student studying at Deakin University back in 1997 :
Below shows a yet to bloom Pink Trumpet Tree (or Pink Poui) in this Winter time at Universal CityWalk here in Orlando, Florida USA :
And as Spring is fast approaching, here’s another blooming Pink Trumpet Tree (or Pink Poui) :
Heheh PINK PINKY everywhere - I just adore the fabulous rosy PINK color against the gorgeous light blue Sunshine State sky!!
Close-up view of the Pink Trumpet Tree with its Pink Trumpet-shaped Flowers with Yellow throats :
Like Ma Ma, my Baby Cutie also loves PINKY Tree as she poses infront of the Pink Trumpet Tree in her pretty TY Gear Pink Dress :
And well, we’re now outside the Main Entrance to Universal Studio’s Islands of Adventure as Dear gets real excited………..but WAIT!! he’s still got to maintain his cool as we’ll only be visiting the Theme Park tomorrow hahah!!
Dear & I are now walking towards the Lone Palm Airport which is an Open Cafe at Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville seen here below with its N928J Hemisphere Dancer (Aircraft) on its left :
Jimmy Buffett is an American Singer, Song Writer & Movie Producer & the N928J Hemisphere Dancer (Aircraft) is a personal Seaplane of his.
Here’s another pic of Lone Palm Airport at Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville with its N928J Hemisphere Dancer (Aircraft) :
Then we see these really fancifully colored Wooden Beach Chairs outside Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville - how lovely!!
We’re now entering Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville Smuggler’s Hold Retail Store to check out its Souvenirs :
Dear’s standing inside the really interesting Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville Smuggler’s Hold Retail Store that has a replica N928J Hemisphere Dancer (Aircraft) hanging from its center ceiling :
And next to the Smuggler’s Hold Retail Store is Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville where we see many Jimmy Buffett’s Memorabilia & Video Screens playing extremely loud Jimmy Buffett music non-stop………..as Dear & I watch & hear from where we’re standing on the below wooden Boat-shaped dining area :
Haha the music is far too loud for our ears so Dear & I soon step out of Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville - now looking at PARROT PERCH on play :
Dear’s now with PARROT PERCH outside Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville :
Haha still remember my own White Parrot back in my childhood days - it was a beautiful White with Yellow-crowned Parrot that one day flew to my childhood Kampong House in Singapore, & so my elder brothers decided to keep it as our house pet.
And this White Parrot of ours was a real smart & fun-loving bird who never failed to call me “Ah Net!! Ah Net!! Ah Net!!” (which is my nickname used in my family) whenever it saw me walking home (from afar) from elementary school………
Haha somehow our Parrot has listened well to my family members calling me “Ah Net!! Ah Net!!”, & thus also started calling me “Ah Net!! Ah Net!!” whenever I went near him!! Really amazing!!!
And well, below is a pic of Me (in pink dress) & my elder sister playing with our most wonderful Parrot back in our childhood Kampong House in Singapore :
Enough of my childhood pet Parrot, here’s Dear standing infront of a personalised Souvenir T-shirts Shop backed with tall thin Palm Trees at Universal CityWalk in Orlando, Florida USA :
Haha Dear & I have actually completed our big round-about at Universal CityWalk, shopping & dining & sightseeing since arriving this late morning at about 11.45am, & the time now is almost 3.30pm - so guess it’s about time I pick up some Universal Studios Florida Souvenir Magnets!!
Behind me is “Magnets & More” Souvenir Store (consisting of 2 separate Stores actually) that sells many Key Chains, Dog Tags & Pins :
Close-up view of the many Universal Studios Florida Key Rings :
Then I notice these below Names Souvenir Key Rings which flicker & flicker non-stop - really cool & very interesting!!
Haha YEA Yea they sure flicker endlessly & endlessly……..Check out my self-taken Video of the Flickering Names Souvenir Key Rings :
And here’re my Jurassic Park - Universal Studios Florida Photo Frame Souvenir Magnets from “Magnets & More” Souvenir Store :
FLORIDA Map with Dolphins Souvenir Magnet :
Spider Man - Universal Studios Florida Photo Frame Souvenir Magnet :
Well, there’re tons of Sovenir Magnets from “Magnets & More” Souvenir Store but I believe they’re all China-made, & most of them come in Rubber materials (which I don quite prefer) instead of Polyresin which I like! Thus I only pick Jurassic Park & Spider Man cos they’re both Dear & my favourite movies!!
Nevertheless, the Storekeeper at the Souvenir Store is pretty touched by my sincerity when she tells me that many customers often tell her “I’ll be back to buy later!!” - they’d never turn up at all!!
But I really come back to her Store when I told her so this afternoon upon visiting her Store - heheh I kept my words & promise!!
And she’s really happy & gives me many Universal Orlando Resort Shopping Bags when I tell her they’re so beautiful heheh!!
Dear & I are now back at the following starting point where the Universal Orlando Resort Directory stands when we first started exploring Universal CityWalk earlier today :
We decide to leave Universal CityWalk now to go to Prime Outlets International for more shopping heheh!!
Here’s a self-taken snapshot of Dear & I on the Moving Walkway out of Universal Orlando Resort :
And this below pic shows the covered Escalator to/from the Universal Orlando Resort Bus Station :
Dear & I first make a stop at the following Universal Studios Souvenir Store to purchase Dear’s T-Shirt :
Here it is - Dear’s very handsome BRIGHT-colored Universal Studios Florida Souvenir T-Shirt :
Soon, we’re at the Universal Orlando Resort Bus Station where Dear immediately catches attention of an arriving White Limousine dropping off several Black Americans who look like Basketball Players!!
WHOA it’s actually a White Jeep Limousine as Dear poses with it parked by the side of the Bus Station -Look how super LONG it is haha!!
Now, let me show you some pics of the Universal Orlando Resort Bus Station - Super Star Shuttle (Waiting Stand) which is the complimentary Transportation Service to/back from Universal Studios provided by Quality Inn International where Dear & I are staying :
Here’s the Taxi Stand :
While waiting for our Lynx Bus to get back to International Drive, Dear & I start chatting with a Spanish Mom & daughter who happen to be sitting at the Bus Station waiting for their Bus too - sharing about the various Lynx Buses to travel on etc………& I tell her that Spanish is a really beautiful language as I hear her daughter & her talking in conversations……………
And very friendly Spanish Mom offers to help take pics of Dear & I infront of the arriving Lynx Bus (Link 40) when she hears us talking excitedly about the attached Bicycle Rack on the Bus front heheh :
Well, I hope you like Universal CityWalk here at Orlando, Florida USA just like Dear & I had a great fun-filled fabulous day out here!! Stay cool & be entertained to the fullest huh!!!
