More about our First Day

Miami Air International really took care of our flight. On each seat was our logo! How cool is that?

HCS Choirs were also treated to a first: The flight attendants wanted to hear us sing so we performed, at 33,000 feet, The Lord Bless. The kids did a nice job and the flight attendants got a little teary eyed. :)





In true Hollywood style, our group was greeted by the paparazzi. :)






Our youngest tour member found a new friend. :)

Here is the whole group at Universal Studios right before departure to the hotel.

As we were lining up, someone yelled for us to sing. So we did. Another first for the HCS choir! Here is Matt Kimball our student director taking the lead.



We had quite a gathering to hear us. :)

Day One in the bag!

We spent the entire day at Universal Studios Hollywood amusement park. Many of us went on an hour long studio tour where we saw the back lot of where many popular tv shows and movies are produced: CSI, Desperate House Wives, Bones.

We saw outdoor sets that were used in many different movies. Recycling at its best!

The cutest show was the animal actor show! We saw well-trained cats, dogs, birds, pigs, raccoons, gerbils, rats, and hawks. Quite a show!

With the 3-hour time difference, our day was long but fun by all accounts.

Now we are on a 2-hour bus ride to San Diego. We will check in, get some rest, and visit San Diego Zoo and other fun places.

Tomorrow’s dinner will be in La Jolla at an ocean side restaurant. J

The weather was great all day!

California or bust!

We have safely made it through airport security and are now standing in line for Starbucks!

Next stop...Burbank.

Not sure I will be able to take pictures while the kids are in the studio, but if I can...they will be right here!

Boarding now. :)
