14/10/2013: Universal Studios

Another beautiful sunny day with clear blue skies and no noticeable haze or smog.

I get picked up from the hotel for the transfer to the Starlines Tour depot. The driver takes the *residential route* as we seem to go up and down every residential street between the hotel and the depot.

Our bus takes the short drive to Universal Studios. I arrive just in time to join my allocated group for the VIP Experience. We visit the the back lot and see many sound studios; props and costume building; *Amity Island* (location for Jaws); the Bates Motel (the location for Psycho); and other buildings used in TV shows and movies including Desperate Housewives and Spartacus.

Our group has a very delicious luncheon buffet prepared by the Universal Studios chefs which is served in the VIP Lounge building.

After lunch, we took rides including *Jurassic Park* and saw the *Special Effects* show.

Our transfer bus arrives on time. The driver takes the *scenic route* back to our hotels as we travel through Laurel Canyon.
