Buon Mercoledi! Hump Day! How are you doing? It is a cold, clear morning here in Tucson. Any plans for today?

The coffee is a good Morning Blend, and a second cup will be downed later this morning. Alexa is awake and she reminded me that Chris the iRobot will be coming out of his cradle to clean the main house carpet. I asked her to play some "Down Home Blues" for me today.

Mia Moglie will be going to her "Tai Chi" class at "Himmel Park" this morning, brrrr.

We will be completing our packing for our overnight in Bisbee. We will be attending a birthday party for Raven. We will head for Bisbee as soon as our niece Sara arrives to drop off (Nils). We are going to take him to Bisbee with us. We will return tomorrow.

Here is what went on our cruise on 19 Feb. It was a Sea Day! Enjoy!

We got up early to meet up for a tour titled "Behind the Scenes". This tour of the ship showed us what we don't see that makes everything work.

We went to the galley and saw all of the food they store and the kitchens. We saw the cabins where the crew sleep. We saw the laundry, and the bakery where they make their own bread, cakes various desserts. We saw the engine room where photos were not allowed. Fascinating place loaded with computers and servers. The last part of the tour was a look at the (bridge) where the captain commands. No photos were allowed on the bridge, but it was very interesting. This tour was fascinating to say the least.

After the tour we ate lunch in the "Garden Cafe". Then we went to the casino to play "Keno Slots" for a while, we lost money. We saw our friends Ivy and Jun playing slots as well. They live here in Tucson. We exchanged phone numbers.

Later we got some dinner. We didn't do much this evening. We returned to our room because we have to get up very early for our next tour 5:45am. Elise was not feeling her best, she may have a sinus infection. Elise rested and I watched some TV. Soon we collapsed and called it game over. Another good day on the Jade.

Buon Martedi! Taco Tuesday! How are you doing? It is a cool, partly sunny morning here in Tucson. Any plans for today? Hey, how about that burst of rain last night?

The coffee is a good Donut Shop Blend, and a second cup will be enjoyed later this morning. Alexa is awake and she said that today is going to be very busy. I asked her to play some "Funk Jazz" for me today.

I have to make a trip out on the airbase to gas up "Bellezza Nera". She has a huge smile on her nameplate because her service visit went great.

We will be heading for Bisbee tomorrow for a birthday party for Raven. We will return on Thursday. Every time we go to Bisbee I think of Sheila, my lifeline, I miss her very much.

Mia Moglie will be going to her weekly (bridge) game this afternoon.

Here is what happened on 18 Feb on our cruise. Enjoy!

We started the day very early because we had to meet up in the "Bliss Theater", for our tour to Coffee Plantations. We left at 8:00am and we returned around 4:00pm. A fantastic and educational tour indeed.

It was rough going and it took a while to get there due to road construction like here in Tucson. The plantation was 5000 feet above sea level.

The coffee was delicious and the info about growing coffee was very interesting, and the people were very nice. It wasn't too hot either. the bad part was the long bus ride to and from.
