Good morning Babies as Dear & I rise today for another planned tour of our own here in Orlando, Florida USA!!

Our Precious Babies Sportie, Cutie, Smartie (from Singapore) are sure miggling very well with their new-found American friend Micktie from Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom :

As usual, like every other mornings here in Orlando, I’ll wake up here at Quality Inn International watching the American Wesh 2 News on the Weather forecast so that Dear & I know how best to dress up for the Orlando Winter day & night here in the Sunshine State of Central Florida!

And it’s Sunshine today at 77 Fahrenheit (which is equal to 25 degree Celsius) for Dear & I who plan to visit Universal CityWalk at Universal Orlando Resort :

Do you notice the Red Heart inside the above “Sat” & below “Saturday” columns!? Heheh it’s so sweet cos it’s Valentine’s Day this coming Sat which is tomorrow, & its Weather forecast is at 82 Fahrenheit (which is about 28 degree Celsius) - haha seems that Spring’s coming real fast as Orlando’s getting warmer : 

Oh Dear there’s another MISSING girl report by Florida AMBER ALERT on Wesh 2 News - 5 years old Haleigh Cummings missing from her Bed at home in Hermus Cove in Satsuma in Putnam County in North Orlando - last seen at 10pm on 9 Feb 2009 :

How very sad that 5-year-old Haleigh Cummings is missing a night before the Memorial of Missing then Dead Caylee Marie Anthony - another 5-year-old White American girl who went missing in June 2008, then found dead in December 2008 - apparently murdered by her own Mother Casey Anthony here in Orlando, Florida USA.

The Memorial Service called “Remembering the Life of Caylee Marie Anthony“ was held in Orange County Convention Center on the morning of 10 Feb 2009 here in Orlando & it was widely reported on the American News.

I’ve seen Posters on Kidnapped & Missing American Toddlers, Teens & Adults while out shopping alone the past couple of days here in Orlando while Dear attended SolidWorks World 2009 Conference - such are some of the many sad Missing Children cases happening here in America……..

No wonder I see some Toddlers wearing Child Restraint Devices (CRS), with their Parents holding onto the handles constantly as they walk in the crowded areas or malls - these young kids are kinda tied like Dogs to these Safety Harnesses & they sure don look quite pleasing in some people’s eyes, but I’m sure & believe that the safety belts are much needed for the kids’ best secruity & safety at all times, considering the far too many Kidnapped & Missing, then either found Dead or NEVER Found, Children cases happening here daily in America!!

Well, poor Haleigh Cummings is still missing today - if you happen to see her anywhere, please do not hesitate to contact Putnam County Sheriff’s Office at 386-329-0808-911 immediately - hereby let’s pray that God keeps watch over Haleigh safely & soundly till we find her back……..

I’m now watching the following news reporting on the Launch Date Set Today for Shuttle Discovery - seen here at Kennedy Space Center Launch 39 (LC-39) Pad A where Dear & I visited yesterday :

And here’re Wesh 2 News reports on Orlando Traffic by Kimberly Williams : 

The time now is 8.45am & Dear who’s been out at 7.30am, is still not back from working on his Laptop at the wireless area at the Quality Inn International lobby as I text him on his Cell to which he replies “Few more mins need to send emails”…………

Haha Dear’s “Few more mins” turn out to be more than half hour as he only returns to our Room here at 10am - upon which we’ve our Breakfast of yummy Nong Shim Korean clay Pot Ramyun Instant Cup Noodles which we brought from Singapore :

And Dear & I also have our yummilicious Fried Chicken Wings brought back from our Steak & Dinner Buffet at Ponderosa Steakhouse last night, cos we couldn’t finish them there & we didn’t wana waste them, so we packed them back with us - heheh they still taste so good despite being soft & non-crispy!!

And well, there’s the Ear-portion of Dear’s Mickey Mouse Crisped Rice Birthday Cake (shown above) which we bought from Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom, but we never touch it as it’s a little too sweet for us in this early morning!!

Okie, now let’s draw our Room curtians & take a look at the outside Courtyard View from here - Hmm……….so beautiful : 

And now, I’m dressing my Baby Cutie in her Floral Pink Dress (from TY Gear) cos Dear & I are bringing all our Babies (except Micktie) out today heheh!!

Cutie gets to have her dress changed cos the Maroon Velvet Dress she wore from home in Singapore is far too hot for today’s sunny Weather!!

Haha isn’t Cutie so cute so cute wearing only her panty heheh & her 3 Kor Kor (brothers) keep teasing ”Hee……MeiMei shame shame - never wear clothes!! Shame Shame!!”

Well, Dear’s now standing outside our Room 1426 while I snap more pics of the beautiful Courtyard outside our Room here at Quality Inn International :

Our Room opens to, & stands in the middle of, this following long Corridor at Quality Inn International :

Now, here’re some snapshots of the lovely Winter Tree standing at the quiet lovely Courtyard infront of our Room :

Soon, Dear & I are ready to set off on our day’s outing at the Universal CityWalk, now walking towards the Hotel lobby exit, located to the left-side of our Room :

Well, Dear & I were contemplating where to go today - whether we should visit another 2 Walt Disney World Theme Parks such as Epcot & Hollywood Studios, or go Shopping at Downtown Disney as Dear’s never been around much here in Orlando, not to mention having real shopping!!

And in the end we decided that we shall not visit Disney Theme Parks altogether, or see any more Disney stuffs since we’d been to Magic Kingdom, but to make a trip to Universal CityWalk at Universal Orlando Resort!

Dear & I leave Quality Inn International close to 11am, after purchasing our I-Ride Trolley 1-Day Tickets (for US$4 each) at the Hotel lobby Tour Desk, cos we actually plan to take the Trolley to Prime Outlets International for shopping before going to Universal CityWalk later today :

These I-Ride Trolley 1-Day Tickets shall be exchanged with the I-Ride Trolley Driver (upon boarding) for our I-Ride Trolley 1-Day Passes : 

Dear’s now standing at International Drive, Orlando - heheh he’s feeling great cos it’s his first FREE & Easy day out here in Orlando, Florida USA!! And Dear likes his new T-shirt that I bought from The Florida Mall 2 days ago - so handsome & comfortable!!

Dear’s seen below standing infront of the I-Ride Trolley - Red Line North Bound - Stop 15 where we plan to take the Trolley to Prime Outlets International :

While waiting for the I-Ride Trolley under the HOT sun here at International Drive, I decide that Dear & I should visit Universal CityWalk first cos then we need not carry all our Shopping Bags (if there’re which I know there’ll be haha!!) from Prime Outlets International all the way to Universal CityWalk!!

Actually, Quality Inn International does provide a complimentary Shuttle service to Universal Orlando Resort & Universal CityWalk as seen from the following Time Schedule (provided at the Hotel Tour Desk) of the Super Star Shuttle by Town & Country Transportation Services :

However, Dear & I never plan well beforehand so we’ve actually missed our 2 free Shuttle services that already left Quality Inn International to Universal Orlando at 8am & 10.05am this morning :

So I check with the local American couple who’re at the I-Ride Trolley Stop 15  (as shown in below pic behind me) on how Dear & I can get to Universal CityWalk from here, & we’re told that we can hop on the Lynx Bus ( Link 8 ) from here to somewhere after an Intersection road (which I can’t remember the Road name) along International Drive, then cross the road to the opposite side to take Link 37 to Universal CityWalk :

The friendly American couple happens to be travelling on Link 8 too so they tell us that they’re let us know where about after the Intersection road to get off………

Link 8 soon arrives & Dear & I pay for our Lynx Bus Tickets (US$2 each per way), with me asking the Driver for 2 “Transfer” Tickets which give Dear & I free Transfers valid for 90 mins (from time of boarding), as I’ve found out about it on the Internet before coming to Orlando :

These are the Reverse sides of our Lynx Bus TRANSFER Tickets :

Well, it’s Dear’s first time travelling on Lynx Bus here in Orlando & he’s pretty excited about it - now here’s a self-portrait snapshot of Dear & I onboard Link 8 travelling from International Drive :

We see Wet ‘n Wild Theme Park located at International Drive along our Bus journey :

We also see Lobster Feast & Starbucks Coffee - heheh what a lovely Lighthouse building!! I adore Lighthouses :

Heheh still remember Dear would drive me to see Lighthouses at the Great Ocean Road (in Victoria, Australia), & we also visited The Cape Byron Lighthouse at Byron Bay in New South Wales, Australia - Let’s see 2 pics of Mine at The Cape Byron Lighthouse in Australia :

Well, Dear’s standing infront of Link 8 from where we’ve just alighted after the Intersection road by International Drive, as told by the Bus Driver as well as the American couple who were riding with us on the Bus :

Here’s another snapshot of Dear infront of the Lynx Bus Stop :

“Hey Dear there’s a Lobster Restaurant here!!” Dear & I excitedly inform each other as we see ”Red Lobster” Restaurant by the side of the Lynx Bus Stop - I’m here standing infront of Red Lobster :

Dear & I decide to check out Red Lobster & now I am holding on to its Restaurant’s Lobster Claw Door Knobs :

Here’s a close-up view of the huge Lobster Claw Door Knobs - heheh how very special & unique!!! 

Dear & I check out the Red Lobster interior & unlike Boston Lobster Feast, we see a most lovely posh Restaurant that serves Ala Carte Menu too (which we like), but it’s kinda too early & we’re too full from our morning Breakfast to eat any Lobster, so we decide to come back in the evening for dinner heheh……..

Here’s the Reb Lobster Business Card :

We’ve now crossed over the road to the opposite Lynx Bus Stop (opposite Red Lobster) to wait for Lynx Bus (Link 37) to Universal CityWalk at Universal Orlando Resort - here’s our Baby Smartie out in the Sun at the Bus Stop here at International Drive :

Oh, actually the Lynx Bus Stop is located right infront of the Four Points by Sheraton Hotel seen here behind Smartie :

Heheh it’s Smartie’s very first time out in Orlando & he’s enjoying every bit of the Sunshine State of Florida with its many lovely Palm Trees :

While waiting for the Lynx Bus (Link 37), Dear & I start chatting about the local Orlando public transportation with me sharing with him about my lone travelling on I-Ride Trolley & Lynx Bus during the 4 days he was away in his SolidWorks World 2009 Conference………..

And Dear keeps praising me for my braveness & smartness in finding out & travelling around all alone, & still managing to keep myself very safe & unharmed, yet having so much fun here in Orlando by myself throughout all those days & nights!! Hahah Dear thinks I’m a real brave smart girl!!

Dear’s enjoying Orlando free & easy as it is now & he keeps saying we both need at least a MONTH here to enjoy all its Theme Parks etc etc!! Dear loves it here!! As for me, I’m just very happy having Dear all to myself here in Orlando as I recall how much I’ve missed him all those days & nights while he was away in his Conference!! 

Well, our Lynx Bus (Link 37) arrives after about 25 mins, when Dear & I use our earlier Lynx Bus TRANSFER Tickets without having to pay anymore :

We’re now seated onboard Link 37 on our way to Universal CityWalk at Universal Orlando Resort :

Here’s a Information Pamphlet with Locations Map of Link 37 taken from aboard the Link 37 :

Close-up view of Univeral Orlando on the Link 37 Locations Map :

More self-portraits of Dear & I onboard Link 37 - hahah I like having these snapshots anytime anywhere Dear & I travel to heheh!!!

“Hey Dear Dear we’ve arrived at Universal Orlando Resort!!” in less than 15 mins time we shout anxiously at each other upon seeing our Lynx Bus approaching the World FAMOUS Theme Park here in Orlando :

Well, I’d like to end this post of mine praying that all the Missing Children & Persons be found & be back home with their loved ones as soon as possible - God bless us all :
