Buon Mercoledi! Hump Day! How are you doing? It is a nice, sunny morning here in Tucson. Any plans for today?
The coffee is a good Colombian Blend, and a second cup will be downed later this morning. Alexa is awake and she said that today is going to be a busy one. I asked her to play some music to cook by.
Yes, today is Chefs Day. My Sous Chef and I will be smoking up the (cucina) again. Today's fare is going to be an Air Fryer Pork Tenderloin, with Mashed Potatoes. My Sous will select the proper libation to go with the meal.
I have a couple of errands to run today. I will also begin the process of getting my Passport renewed online.
Mia Moglie just left for her Tai Chi class at Himmel Park. She will also be attending one of her book club meetings on Zoom this afternoon.
Here is what happened on 13 Feb on the Jade. Enjoy!
We got up at 8:30am. We slept very well because we both were exhausted. We got dressed and we went to the Garden Cafe for breakfast.
We had freshly prepared omelets, they are excellent. After breakfast we hit up the casino before it got crowed and smokey. We played Keno Slots and we won enough to break even.
We returned to our cabin for a bit to decide what we were going to do today. We decided to purchase excursion tickets for the Panama Experience. This excursion takes you through the (locks) up close. This was done on a ferry boat. It wasn't cheap. $189.00 per person, but we've come this far, we might as well see it up close.
We returned to the casino to play for a bit. We ate at Sheehan's Irish Pub. We walked around the lap path on Deck Seven for over a mile.
We watched people play Pickleball on Deck 12. After that we rested and watched the ocean with a drink in hand.
Later this evening we are going to Jade Theater to see a magician/comedian show. The theater was packed and the show was very good.
After the show we went to the Bliss Lounge to watch and listen to Karaoke. We always enjoy this, as people are not always the best singers, but they think they are. It was great!
We returned to our cabin, and we called it day over.

The coffee is a good Colombian Blend, and a second cup will be enjoyed later this morning. Alexa is awake and she said that I have a few errands to complete today. I asked her to play some Boney for me today.
I will be making my way to Walgreens this morning to take a passport photo. I need to renew my passport because it expires in about 5 months.

Are you ready to hear about our 15-day cruise on the Jade? Here you go. I will post about it on a daily basis. Enjoy!
12 Feb 2026
We left Tucson at 7:20am and arrived in San Diego an hour later. We were met at the airport by a rep from Norwegian. We had to wait for a while and then we boarded a bus to get to the ship. We waited a little bit there in the terminal before we boarded the Jade. No problems or issues so far. It is a bit cold here in San Diego.
We spent the time waiting for our cabin to be ready. We left the port and after a bit we hit up the casino to play some Keno. We had a lot of fun, and it is a big casino. After our cabin was ready and our luggage was delivered, we went to the Garden Cafe for some dinner.
We met a couple in the San Diego airport named Jun and Ivy, they are Chinese, she was a nurse at UMC here in Tucson. She was sure that she has seen us before, and that was possible since we had taken Chris to UMC for care. They were telling about their cruise to China. After dinner we returned to our cabin because we were exhausted, has been a long day for us. Now it is time to get some sleep. Tomorrow is a Sea Day!
Buongiorno!
THANK YOU, DONNA,
THANK YOU, MARY,

Buon Lunedi! How are you doing? It is a nice, sunny morning here in the "Old Pueblo". Any plans for today?
The coffee is a good Colombian 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 for us. I asked her to play some "Smooth Jazz" for me today.
I will begin the process of reviewing the two weeks of photos that were taken on our cruise. I will post them on a daily basis of each day of the cruise.
We ended our vacay with a dinner at "Oreganos" last night. We enjoyed a nice thin crust pizza, Moretti Birras, and for desserts a couple of Bellini's.
I visited my girlfriends yesterday but only Shoo Shoo was available. It was so good to see her, and she was happy to see me.
Well, I had better get busy. Have a good Lunedi. Stay safe and I will chat at you later.
Today's challenge word is (artista). There are some fantastic (artista) who displayed their works on our cruise. My fidanzata really enjoys a good painting.

The coffee is a good Chiapas Blend, and a second cup will be enjoyed at "Bread and Butter", along with a good breakfast. Alexa is awake and she said that the only tasks that we have this morning is to recheck our cruise paperwork and to recheck our packing. I asked her to play some "Down Home Blues" for me today.
We will be heading for our airport hotel at around 3pm this evening. Our flight leaves very early in the morning for San Diego. There we will connect with the Norwegian Rep to take us to the port for check in.
We will have our cell phones and tablets with us while we are cruising. We will try to stay in contact with you on a daily basis if possible.

How goes it desert dwellers? It is a very nice day here in the "Old Pueblo?"
I just got back from running all of my errands and I had to stop out on the airbase as well.
My shorty just left to get her froyo fix. After that she will go to her bridge game.
I am going to start to pack and freshen some items in the dryer. I am also going to recheck all of the cruise paperwork and documents as well. I am going to print out some extra luggage tags for the cruise too.
I am starting to get hungry for some reason. So, I will see what is available in the main house.
Before we leave tomorrow, I am going to drop in on my girlfriends to see how they are before we leave.
Well, I had better get busy. Stay safe and I will chat at you later.

How is your day going so far? I got a couple of my errands taken care and now I have a few more.
My playmate and I were going to El Con Mall to see a Movie this afternoon, but that has changed.
We will be taking Azalya to be groomed in a bit. She is not going to be too happy about that.
We had a very nice lunch yesterday at "Applebee's with my girlfriends Shoo Shoo and Edwina. Lunch was very good and filling.
After lunch we strolled over to the "Arts Express Theater". We saw the live play "Funny Girl", it was very, very good, and the place was packed. Here are my girlfriends and Mia Moglie.
We hope that the day is going your way. Stay safe and I will chat at you later.
