I was just at Universal Studios for spring break! Just got back home a minute before midnight on Easter! I enjoyed the landscaping just as much as the rides and shows! It's like a botanical garden in a way but most of the plants are not labeled. I was amazed by the size of the sengal date palms! It has so many large trunks. Does anyone have any guess to how old they are? There was also an odd looking smaller tree near (next too) the pond with the tropical lily pads in Jurassic park that I thought was neat. It had no or very few leafs and a few exotic flowers that were white with very stringy petals. I wish I knew the name of that one. The star (confederate) jasmine plants planted at the edges of the parking garages smelled amazing (to me anyway) when on the moving walk way. I also noticed a few sago palms with ripe nuts in the planting near all the flags by the animal show and E.T. ride. The sagos looked very strange. The nuts had brown fuzz all over them. I thought that was intriguing. I wonder what the purpose of the fuzz is. T.J.

I copied and pasted this into the other vacation thread for you. Did you figure out the rejected post thing yet? You have to put an actual word or two as a subject line (for example: it won't accept "KK" as a subject, but will accept "A Q for KKNY") and sometimes it won't let you put the same subject line twice in one thread (but sometimes it will)

Hi Skivino, If this is a repeat response I apologize -- I'm not sure that my first attempt went through. I can answer your questions about Coastal Vacations and have used some of the trips myself. In March my family took the Orlando vacation and the Bahamas Cruise & Stay. They were both wonderful trips! And I'd like to advise you -- if you're interested in purchasing a vacation package, please do so from a reputable Coastal Vacations director rather than through an on-line auction site. I hope this helps! Amy
