Carnival Venezia Last Sea Day

On Tuesday we had our last night onboard the Venezia. We weren't getting a good vibe from the menu at the main dining room so we decided to have sushi instead. Bonsai Sushi is an a la carte restaurant onboard most Carnival Cruise Line ships. Had some delicious pork and chicken skewers, Spicy Tuna Roll and Bang Bang Bonsai Roll.  

On Wednesday morning we had one last breakfast on the Terrazza outdoor deck before heading down the gangway. We originally had planned to take the Carnival transfer to LGA for our 12:55 flight to TPA. We boarded the bus at 9:15. But by 9:45 it was still waiting for more passengers. So we made a quick decision and got off the bus, grabbed our luggage from underneath and found a driver who would take us to LGA. A bit more expensive than we planned, but we made it with plenty of time to spare.  

We had a nice flight on JetBlue. Our luggage came quickly and we took a Lyft to our storage unit to get our car. Then headed to the Springhill Suites where we're staying for a couple of nights.  

Today is a day for errands. Just got an oil change. Now headed to AAA to get a passport photo. Then I will get my passport renewal processed and sent in. It doesn't expire until next year but we had a short break now before any international travel so should have time to get it back. Will use their expedited service.  

Tomorrow we will start the drive up to Indiana where we'll stay for three weeks. I think the longest we have stayed anywhere since we sold our house in January. After that break we have a few more US trips. And then pending my passport renewal, we'll plan some trips for October and beyond.
