Crazy For Cats

Good Afternoon, today is a bright sunny cold day. I’m took a half day today and ran a couple of errands. I’m happy to report that my new passport arrived in today’s mail. It took less than two weeks with a holiday during the process. If anyone renews online I’m recommending that you review the photo requirement as it is very different than by mail. Hoping everyone has a good day.

Good Morning, it was a busy weekend with lots of errands and tasks done. We put up the Christmas trees, made final plans to visit family for Thanksgiving and used some coupons that benefited the cats. Saturday I went to AAA to get my mug shot taken to renew my passport. When I did my online registration it rejected the photo they took. DH took my picture and they accepted it. If you plan on renewing completely online I recommend checking out their picture requirements ahead of time. It will save you time and a little money. Today promises to be a busy day with work, lots of meetings on the books. I fully expect Tuesday and Wednesday to be quiet as most of my contacts will be out of the office. We get Thursday and Friday as the holiday. I hope everyone has a good day and a nice holiday.

Good Afternoon, taking a short break from work. When I opened my work laptop I had 1376 emails facing me. I’m through most of them while being busy with meetings. Yesterday I presented a regulatory guide that I use to alert my customers of what they need to do. It is now going to be the resource for the group to use. I’ll need to maintain the template. Today I reached out to the pet sitter and she agreed to watch the kids in April and July. Monday and Tuesday early morning Mona decided to sing the song of her people. This is new behavior and she was very loud as she sung on my side of the bed. Last night I told her no singing and she was quiet this morning.

Hi, our plane left on time. The flight was oversold by one, I assume they figured out who stayed behind. I’m not thrilled with Delta comfort +. Our usual seating on Jet Blue offers more. If we fly Delta again it will have to be first class the trip down was great. when I get home I must start passport renewal and check dates with the pet sitter.

Good Morning, we didn't waste any time disembarking this morning. After a quick cab ride we were through security and waiting at the gate by 8:10. The lines were unusually short, I'm sure that has changed. The boards say our flight is on time but the app disagrees. Hopefully the boards are correct.

Good Morning from the Nieuw Amsterdam. There are no plans other than packing to head home tomorrow. It'll be good to see the kids when we get home.

Here you are leaving us. Nice toots between the ships.

Good Afternoon, we are docked alongside the Rotterdam in Grand Turk. It's a beautiful day. We walked around a bit and are now enjoying a quiet ship. The concierge confirmed that it's in our best interest to cash out our refundable money before disembarking. Tonight we are having dinner at the Tamarind.

Good Afternoon, we are back on the ship. DH had enough walking around town. We both added to the local economy. DH Some San Juan cats. I got to pet a few. Cayo Caribe for lunch. It's our favorite place to grab a bite. Food is very good and prices are reasonable. Mango Daiquiri to help cool down.

Good Morning, today’s forecast promises some rain during our visit. We are planning on walking around town and grabbing lunch at our favorite restaurant. Sail in was beautiful and very early this morning. We have company in San Juan.

I haven’t noticed any impact to our activities. We thought there was an impact yesterday when no evening show was listed in the Navigator. The hard copy of events listed a singer/comedian and she was great. I’m glad I look in both places. We’ve chatted with some of them at breakfast and lunch and they have been very pleasant.

Good Afternoon from the NA. Another day with nothing planned. This morning we learned that the rum and distillery tour with lunch was cancelled. No other excursions appeal fir the rest of the cruise so we will lose the HIA perk. Now we have refundable credit and in light of recent events I'll go to the front desk and cash out before we disembark. St Thomas feels very hot to me. After a quick walk around the local shops we are back on the ship. DH is currently baking in the sun. The side balcony is in shade so I may lay outside and listen to tunes. We did the Dive In for lunch. I ordered through the app and it worked well.

No he didn't. The banner was from the concierge and I assume the cabin steward did the decorating.

Good Evening, it was a relaxing day. I had some pre dinner drinks at the Ocean Bar Tamarind dinner was really good and dessert was nice. When I got back to the cabin I found this

Good Morning Everyone, thank you all for the birthday wishes. It's a beautiful day on the Nieuw Amsterdam. The motion of the ocean is very noticeable but that makes sleeping very good for me. DH ordered flowers for me. Last night we had dinner in the Canaletto. Food and service were good. Tonight we will be in the Tamarind. During breakfast at the PG a rainbow appeared. I took it as a good sign.

There are pictures of the cabin on halfacts.com

Good Morning, we arrived in Nassau and it feels very humid. I think we will get off the ship and walk around a bit. The ac was quickly corrected. When I'm comfortable and DH is cold I know is working properly. 😀

The sitter sent me a picture of Mona laying on my side of the bed. They will complain about lack of treats and food. 😀

We are port side.

Lines are finally dropping.

We will from deck 7 corner. After a pause the Apex dropped remaining lines and is moving

And now it's raining. Hopefully short lived

Apex started to drop lines.
