Ellen Day Two
After a 2:00 AM bed time last night, We had some of our blinds open and we’re up at 8:30 this morning. We’re a bit fatigued, but ready for the excitement of today! Our plan is to (hopefully get some coffee) go to Universal City Walk and hang out for a bit then we’ll be picked up by a car and taken to the studio. Once the show is done, we’re off to the airport and we’ll be there until our flight. We’ll likely be home around midnight tonight!
Hit the break for today’s live blog!
9:14 we’re looking at things like coffee in the room trying to determine what is charged for and what is complimentary. harder than you’d think.
