Hi James,

Can't believe it's a week since we disembarked Arcadia in Sydney, but thanks to your blog Wendy & I still feel though we're onboard.

Many thanks for being a such a wonderful host on our table for the Golden tier luncheon on Feb 15
after we left Adelaide.
It was a great company & lots of laughs evidenced by the fact we were asked if we were staying for Dinner as we were the last table still enjoying ourselves in the restaurant.

Look forward to catching up with you on Arcadia's World in 2010.
Until then, we'll continue to enjoy your blog as you continue your voyage back to Southhampton.

Regards,
Barry & Wendy

Thank you for all the wonderful pictures and reports from Oz. Your Blog lifts our spirits here in doom and gloom land. I see there are at least 2 Macdonalds on Guam (now there's a surprise} so no doubt they will be well patronised by some. Look forward to joining Arcadia on 12th March
Regards Peter

Thanks again James for the wonderful updates on Brisbane and Yorkie's Knob, the kids at school could do with following this blog it would do their geography the power of good. Will catch up with your blog when we get back from GC.

Cheers

Another set of great Blogs - thanks James. Believe me, with the media here on overdrive about the financial crisis, you are all so lucky to be temporarily cosseted and away from it.

Hi James

What an inspiration this blog has been to us. We are already committed P&O cruisers but the thoughts of a world cruise have motivated us to another level, we have just set up a savings account with the primary purpose of doing a world cruise when we both retire. We agree with so many of our fellow bloggers in that this site is far far better than listening to the gloom and doom of the economy. The pictures from Australia have been wonderful, thank you again for taking the time to produce this blog James

Best wishes
Look forward to seeing you in the not too distant future

Hi James,
Thanks for your blog, I have been reading and watching your progress as you travel on Arcadia's Grand Voyage.
I also think that Brisbane is the best place in Australia, having visited it on Aurora in 2006 when we did the world cruise.
I shall be on Arcadia in May 2009 (J905) to the Baltic's and hope that you will still be on her then. I look forward to meeting you in May.
Friends of mine are on Arcadia Grand Voyage (Mr & Mrs George Russ) cabin C59? please say hello to them for me. With St David's day on Sunday you won't be able to miss them, they are very Welsh!
Keep up the fantastic blog with loads of pix.

Thanks again

Wow, what beautiful butterflies. The pictures from Yorkey's knob are wonderful. All I can say again is I hope to see these things for myself in the not too distant future.

It is also nice to see a photo of my favourite ship!!! Glad to hear you were up on deck wishing her well.

So your trip to Oz has now come to an end. It sounds like you've had a great time, if a rather busy time too. I've enjoyed seeing the photo's of Australia and it just makes me want to go "down under" even more.

Must go and buy a lucky dip on the lottery - Cause my OH can't retire at 50 (unfortunately) on £650,000 per year (re one of the earlier posts on here)!!!!!! For getting a bank into billions of debt! Something not quite right there!!!!!! ;-(

Anyway, you guys are fairly lucky being away at sea and away from all the news here in the UK. I guess you do keep up to a certain degree with the news via the satellite news! Just don't bother reading it!!! It's far too gloomy!

Anyway, I'd rather read your blog than the news. Looking forward to your next instalment.

Thasnks James for some of the most beautiful photographs and decriptions of the ports you have visited. I really feel we have been on the tour with you all. everything is amazing according to my Grandson, he is having a wonderful time, look forward to reading about Guam next.
Best wishes

2009-02-26T14:55:00.000Z

Your dispatches from Oz were remarkable and indeed memorable; the perfect antidot to our daily diet of economic gruel.

The latest news here? Don't ask!

Suffice to say that certain banking CEO's are now caught between the crosshairs of public approbrium and it's starting to get very ugly.

Thank god we can immerse ousrelves in your blog for some light relief!

Lovely to see Aurora in your blog, James. You never forget your first, and she holds a place in my heart that no bigger and flashier cruiser can take.

More lovely photographs James - thank you so much....

2009-02-26T10:45:00.000Z

More lovely photographs James - thank you so much.

I hope you get to Australia again before another 7 years. And I hope I make my first visit within that time too.

2009-02-26T10:22:00.000Z

Thank you James for showing me Yorkies Knob! It looked lovely and once again despite being bathed in sunshine here I cannot help feeling that I am missing out on something especially as I have now seen our friend Alison talking to the Koala bears!! Hello to Brian & Alison Fleckney!

The financial news is again making headlines here & even with technology as it is there is an element of being completely away from all of the doom and gloom when you are at sea. No good for your blog James but when you couldn't get a mobile phone signal unless you were in port .....aah bliss! You can only imagine what it was like when Captain Cook was at sea!
Enjoy the next few days at sea and I look forward to more news - you little blogger!

Love from Louise & Tony.xx
