Yes I did it, I braved the holiday mania here in Orlando and went to Universal Studios for the day. I had a great day, long expensive, but great. Obviously it would have been good to purchase the express card for the day, but how can one justify $200 AUS for a theme park day! Loved the single rider option at a couple of the rides, that saved a lot of time, but I pulled the pin at standing in line for a ride for more than 60 minutes...there was plenty more to see. Did have dinner at Bubba's Gump Shrimp restaurant - surprise surprise most of the menu was shrimp (pawns).
Well today it appears that the cold/sore throat I had before I left Oz is back, so straight down to Walmart for some drugs and the agenda until JEAPU starts is rest and make sure I am 100%. This will give me time to start some umpiring reading.
With just 2 days until the start all the umpires will start arriving, these post will turn to more of the umpiring aspects of the trip. They have one of the motel rooms setup as a shop of umpiring gear, so hears hoping I am able to get my new chest plate, and maybe some shoes that are small enough.
To all my fellow umpires from Oz that are involved in the National Youth Championships and Claxton Shield over the next couple of weeks, good luck and enjoy!
