Tuesday April 7, 2015 San Diego, CA




The ship was in port and by the pier when we woke up.  We ordered coffee, juice and bran muffins from room service. We could see the USS Midway from our stateroom, it’s now a museum.

We went ashore at about 10.  There was a cache just outside the cruise terminal.  I didn’t find it the last time we were in port here.  It was an easy find today for Gerri.








We had made arrangements to meet Bill and Elaine at Old Town.  We took the trolley there and back.  We had lunch at the Casa de Reyes, a Mexican restaurant in Old Town.  Before catching the trolley back downtown we tried a cache near the trolley station.  We didn’t find it.  We did talk to a park employee who knew where the cache had been hidden, it was missing.

Back at our stateroom we took a nap.  At 5:30 we joined Bill, Elaine, Ron and Bobbette in the dining room.  The fourth couple was there.  I don’t remember their names but they are from the Houston area.




















Jere Ring
After dinner we went to the Princess Theater and saw a comedy act, Al Katz.  After that we stopped by the piano bar on the Promenade Deck and listened to Jere Ring.  He had worked with Liberace.  As he played and sang he interacted with the audience.  We stayed there about one and a half hour.  On other ships we have cruised on this was called Crooner’s and this was the first singer we have enjoyed since Sammy Goldstein on our cruise to Australia.

Tonight we have to set the clocks forward.  I have to set my Vivofit online and don’t remember how.  I think it sets automatically from the internet connection and since we are using the ship internet connection I don’t know if that time will be the same as Cabo.

Tomorrow night is our first of two formal nights on this cruise.
