You beat me to it. He’s now my new favorite Captain.

Don't be. I have no intention of doing anything lethal. Just trying to be proactive and discourage her from being so close to the house and having easy access to my attic once the cooler nights begin in a month or so. 

 

I  think it's in both her & my best interest if that did not happen.  Wouldn't you agree? I've seen the damage a squirrel can do once in an attic.  Happen to a neighbor. They chewed on wires & storage boxes and don't clean up their, um, dropping they leave behind.

 

 

That makes me sad.

 

My wife’s sister and husband had a squirrel in their attic .The squirrel ate wires as well as everything else that I guess appealed to it

I just finally caught up, I totally respect Jason for how he handled everything.  Aesha has been awesome in the way she handled everything too.

Once the Daiquiri is gone (sipping it right now), we're off to make homemade pesto to serve over pasta.  Yum.

What ingredients do you usually include in your pesto?

Thanks for the heads up. After doing such smooth checkins in Miami numerous times. I will definitely have to pack my patience for San Pedro.

Bring Horse Blinders for your eyes also, the port is not much to look at either. Very Industrial.

Those previews look crazy. I wonder why Joao is coming back when he supposedly moved on the captain a boat?

It is a very odd time for prices to increase. There are reasons but talking about them on CC leads to nothing good.

My daughter drove from TX to NJ, hit a nasty snag (construction??) on 78 that shut down traffic to a 10 mph crawl for a long time. She said an electric car in front of her quit. I don't think I'd feel secure driving one across country. Maybe a hybrid would be ok.

It could be a matter of getting enough sea time towards a higher license.  I don't know what license he has, it could possibly be only for smaller boats and he is getting his time in to go for a higher license.

My brother has a Tesla. The last time he came to visit he had to stop 20 minutes from my house and do a 45 minute charge. That's not for me.

I forgot about that. I guess the captain gig didn’t work out. Looks like he’s going to cause plenty of drama though!

Lol, cold potatoes on bread seems strange. I presume its watercress balanced on a bowl of soup?

It is their beet salad. I know you would be hungry. But that's all you'll get.🤪

Sorry. We just reserve Junior Suites and you don't even have to wait in that long line. There is a Suite line to the right, (with a sign) they will open the rail for you, and there is a suite check in, behind the tent. 3 sailings on Navigator. It's not a brag, we just reserve JS anymore, and it does come with priority boarding, even at San Pedro.

Artichoke veloute soup topped with a thin wafer. It had some herbs on top. No potatoes.

Then it's a Lobster Thermidor.

Last is a fried cheesecake.

No complaints about the food. However I liked Hooked better than 150. 

Tomorrow night's dinner is at Mason's Jar.

Good to know I almost booked a junior suite. I forget do people with the Key get to go into that line also?

Interesting on Symphony I wasn’t all that impressed with Hooked but Co 150 was outstanding. I might have been at Hooked on an off night.

Is the San Diego port like this too?  Tents?

Sorry Greg. I have no idea. I wasn't looking for a Key line, and it is not real organized.

The same if you are Pinnacle.  I get a lot of dirty looks on boarding day. 😂

I'm sorry, I don't know. It has been quite a few years since we boarded and disembarked in San Diego. I do not remember what the terminal looked like, or even if there was one. There must have been something, because we round tripped on Radiance and disembarked there from a canal cruise. I think I tend to block all that. ☺️ And we port stopped there several times.

What were the round things and the black bits on the bread? Was the green watercress?
