Random

So this is a short blog.... Just some random info...

Just got my new schedule and it sucks.... My shift is so bad that almost at no port i can get out, so please hold thumbs that when i get the new schedule on the 28th, it is better.... One positive which im really hanging onto though.... In dubrovnik, croatia, declated an UNESCO world heritage site, im only on at 2pm so one of the girls and i r gonna do a bicycle tour, and for us its free.... Yay... That i cannot wait for.... Something to get me through next roster

Two more interesting things, yesterday i had russian chocolate for the first time, was actually good, better than belgium choc and a difficult german guest, who i helped, brought me a card and swiss choc, BONUS

Last nite a couple of us went to the guest club/ bar to have a cocktail and dance, that was fun too.... So i guess i should not be complaining.... And of course there was finally sushi trying.....and it was great.... For the first time i tried edame beans... Interesting and honestly i dont know what all the fuss is about... Then we had 3 different roles, the one i had was california with eel and yellowtail... Wow.... And we also had a shrimp tempura and one with prawn, mango and sweet, crispy cashew nuts on top.... Yummy def going back there..... Next cruise we gonna try papas, the italian.....

And now finally here are some photos, edame bens and sushi, uniform, the Jade and staff mess......

Another cruise in Western Caribbean

This is the second week....we started the journey in Tampa and this Tampa we decided to take Sofia to the aquarium...I was quite interested to see whether she would be fascinated with the fishes or not....and she was....certain ones...certain ones not too much....but she definitely enjoyed going there. The aquarium had 8 sections: Wetlands Trail, Journey to Madagascar, Bays & Beaches, No Bone Zone, Coral Reefs, Dragons Down Under, Ocean Commotion and Splash Pad. We visited all except for the Splash Pad (that is outside for the kids to play and it was closed at the moment). It was nice also because there were areas where you could touch the sting rays...I enjoyed that, Sofia did not want to touch them, and nor did Kim.

Sofia in the Jeep Kim and the Jeep Cherokee Friday night we had some Sushi take-aways because Sofia was jet lagged, and so were we, so we did not make it to a restaurant with her.  Saturday there was also quite a few admin things to get done...but it was a rainy day....it rained almost the whole day...so we got a bit wet, but it is warm rain......so never mind. We started off by driving past our new home (could not go inside as the current owners were packing up) and then we made our way to McKinney where we have a friend who has been so kind to receive and store all of our post,
