Sawgrass Mills
I am not sure how many years ago it was that I had a back to back through Miami/Ft Lauderdale where the ship offered a trip out to Sawgrass Mills. In all honestly, it was to their benefit to get … Continue reading

Red Eyes
The best thing about taking a red-eye is that it is always the low point of the day. It was a typical United Flight – boarding is by privilege. What I found interesting, unlike daytime business hour flights, is that … Continue reading

Heading out
I am not sure ever how to react to the day I head out on another trip. When my departure is morning to midday – all of my organizing needs to be done the day before. When it is an … Continue reading

Birthdays
Today is Noah’s Birthday. Tomorrow is Miriam’s. They turn 32 and 30 respectively. Given everyone’s work schedule it seemed most sensible to revert to what we did when they were toddlers and combine the two events. When I look at … Continue reading

Ignoring the morning
Yes, please. I headed out early. Early enough that I was the first customer at my local Peet’s before braving the freeway, Bay Bridge and run to SFVA. It was one of those times where my inclination to adhere to … Continue reading

Borders
There are times when time zones actually work in my favor. Mostly it involves Australia and release times for stitch-a-longs. Those 17 hours don’t mean that there is any possibility of completing a section of this SAL before the calendar … Continue reading

The Reindeer
Done! I am pleased. This is the last of the three winter patterns from Country Cottage Samplings Year in the Woods. Released in December, I obviously wasn’t home and didn’t get a chance to get started on it till earlier … Continue reading

Fox Girl Finished
All those plants, birds, the chicken and her hat. I also did a bit of modifying on her ears. Those are such lovely fox ears, I didn’t see a reason why she would have regular human ears as well. So … Continue reading

Fox Girl
She has another name, but I have been thinking of her as Fox Girl. Obviously, this is another Barbara Ana pattern. From this morning – to this evening – I made progress before drifting off. Al that is left (yah, … Continue reading

They Won!
I shouldn’t be so surprised, but the Cal Women’t Basketball team managed to pull off an 81-79 win in overtime. The overtime was caused by some of the worse officiating any of us have seen all year. In the last … Continue reading

It was a long day. A really long day if truth be told. Disembarkation days are my least favorite travel days. It seems like there is always a deadline hanging overhead, made worse by all the hurry up and wait. … Continue reading

Sailing into San Diego
Sailing in early this morning brought back memories of other cruises. I think it was 2012, with a transAtlantic on Vision of the Seas where the impromptu group of knitters & stitchers just made the voyage wonderful. The day before … Continue reading

Back to Cabo
We sailed into Cabo San Lucas early this morning – no whales seen, nor did I was awake enough to look for the arch. And obviously, it is a tender port. When you look at how crowded a harbor vs … Continue reading

Balloons
Ok, it is also Valentine’s Day. The ship seems to be attempting to turn this particular commercial holiday into something special. The first positive thing turned out to be some small ducks hidden around the ship. One couple found one, … Continue reading

At Sea, Celebrity Solstice
After yesterday with the tenders and all I was expecting a rather quiet day on ship. Which sort of happened and sort of not. This ship has a library on Deck 10. It has a decent selection of books and … Continue reading
