If it is the same one, I gather he was very respected.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549524304374457964.post-58471418806839085292009-04-13T14:56:00.000+01:002009-04-13T14:56:00.000+01:00Look forward every day to your blog.Lovely to see Iris Williams again.

Will you keep it updated with what your up to with your free time?<BR/><BR/>I do hope you have a holiday for yourself planned?<BR/><BR/>Your grand voyage is slowly coming to an end. I bet there are some passengers wishing it could never end! ;-)<BR/><BR/>Safe journey back through the BOB!<BR/><BR/>Elaine (aurorabore)Elainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03609506306131956875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549524304374457964.post-5932948003498418122009-04-13T08:34:00.000+01:002009-04-13T08:34:00.000+01:00Thank you James for your blog. We were on Arcadia's grand voyage from our home in sydney to Hong Kong and have loved reading about the rest of the voyage since we disembarked as we made some new friends who are still on board to Southampton. We had a superb time albeit too short, so much so we have rebooked for a sector of the world cruise for next year. Can't wait. Enjoy your leave.

I will really miss my &#39;daily dose&#39; of my voyage-by-proxy.<BR/>Will the blog be left on the website or will it close once you reach Southampton? I would dearly like to print it all for my friends, John and Glenise Newman, as a journal of their cruise with you. Is this possible?<BR/><BR/>Would the P&amp;O company consider actually publishing it for the passengers?<BR/>My very best wishes to you, James and Glenise and John. Thank for a fantastic opportunity to see and read about places that I would never have had.<BR/>Enjoy your well deserved leave.<BR/>Cindy LewisCindy Lewisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549524304374457964.post-12358945223814573622009-04-12T23:37:00.000+01:002009-04-12T23:37:00.000+01:00Hi James,<BR/>I am glad the choir at the Easter service went well,i would have loved to have been there.

We last met you back in 2006 when you said &quot;give me a shout when you come back onboard&quot;. Every year though since, we have just missed you!<BR/><BR/>In May 2007 we were married on Arcadia, celebrated our first anniversary in 2008 back on Arcadia and return on J903 for our 2nd! Needless to say we love Arcadia and all the memories! Even manage to get the same cabin each time!<BR/><BR/>Have been following your World Cruise Blog with great interest and I hope it continues.<BR/><BR/>Have a good leave and one day we may get that chance to &quot;give you a shout&quot;.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes<BR/>David &amp; Karengilbohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08670953177260655413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549524304374457964.post-81634510078380480142009-04-12T18:17:00.000+01:002009-04-12T18:17:00.000+01:00Happy Easter!<BR/><BR/>Hi James,<BR/><BR/>Great pics - looks like it was fun all the way on Arcadia. This morning I planted an olive tree for Easter &amp; now await Tonys return from another &quot;mission&quot; The yellow ribbon will remain on it until he gets here...<BR/><BR/>Lots of food today (as always in Italy!) but a very long walk afterwards which is also very common here.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy Portugal and another beautifuly city...<BR/><BR/>I cannot wait to pick up my tiger and the two boys in Southampton....see you all then....<BR/><BR/>Louise.
