Aaaah lovely. It's about 0'c here but there is a warming glow from your blog! Regards Judith
As a first time blogger and an old time P&O cruiser, what wonderful pictures, brings back so many memories.
Thank you James for this and thanks to Michael Young for the lovely story about the two commodore's and Dick Gold.
Keep up the good work, will follow with great interest.

Well I have to say Hawaii looks just awful doesn't it? Glad I'm back home in the north wind chill with snow showers - NOOTTTTTTTTT ;-0)
OMG, Hawaii looks AMAZING - Just look at that beautiful clear blue sky - Oh I'm all depressed now ;'-(
I've just finished in the gym - Had a delivery of not one bouquet of flowers, but two (that's 3 in total as one came very early this morning). The winds howling, it's cold and those Mai Tai's look so appealing!
Hey James, I don't think much of the bird you pulled at the sports bar (Lol) ;-0)
I do hope the commodore is spending a few days in that wonderful place before coming back here. After all it's the East of the country that's getting the worst of the weather at the minute. Snowed yesterday, had a go today, but the sun is now shining, but it's bitterly cold and snow forecast for tomorrow.
Enjoy Christmas Island today. I'm thinking about you all.

Brilliant photos James, you made me laugh with the comment of meeting a bird etc., that was soooo funny. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour of Honolulu it certainly brought back fond memories. I also love those quotes you make at the end of the blogs, very apt, where do you get them from, surely they are not all James Cusick's ha ha...
Cheers

What wonderful photographs - than you for sharing them with us. They certainly brighten a dreary, cold day.
I hope the weather is pleasant for you all and the seas calm.
Looking forward to more when you have time.

I am getting more envious by the day James, how I wish we could win the lottery!! Brilliant photos, keep up the good work.
Nice Bird!
Lovely quote!
Hi James,
Lovely photo's as usual, the first time we went to Hawaii, we went to Waikiki beach and tried our hand at surfing, surprise surprise we could not surf,but it was great to see kids of about 7 or 8 just coming surfing right past you, makes you realize how bad you are!
Have not been able to access the webcam for a couple of days so look forward to updates from Xmas Island.
Regards Geoff Witts Perth
