Closing in the year of adventure for us at the end of 2007, my Kangmas and I decided to take our three little girls to relax and unwind at Orlando's world famous Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. We knew having a short vacation limited us to either DisneyWorld or Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. So we let Iris, Rose and Jasmine choose which park we wanted to visit. And since they are no longer toddlers, understandably they chose Universal Studios, and Islands of Adventure. Although unlike Disney, there are no waterparks, I must say I really do enjoy all the entertainments and fun rides at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. They are both enjoyable, and memorable, and the great thing is my friends, for us Orlando is only 2 hours by car!
