Not sure if you are 27th or 28th??!!<BR/><BR/>Bet I'm a wee bit older that you today though!<BR/><BR/>Will catch up with your blog soon. I've missed the last 2 or 3. Will have a quick look on Monday. Off down to Southampton on Tuesday to bring my DD home for a couple of nights, before she's back down to Southampton for training and IPM on Saturday. Just looking at your photos quickly I see Pauline in them. Pauline was working in the tours on Oriana last time I saw her. <BR/><BR/>Well off to the gym now! Been trying to get there for a couple of hours now!!!!!! But as I'm off out for a meal tonight with family I really do need to push on! <BR/><BR/>Hope you've had a good day anyway.<BR/><BR/>Catch up on Monday!<BR/><BR/>Elaine (aurorabore)Elainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03609506306131956875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549524304374457964.post-53734055279056895572009-03-28T12:41:00.000Z2009-03-28T12:41:00.000ZHope you had a very Happy and enjoyable birthday James!

You kept that one quiet! I hope you had a very good day and were able to relax and enjoy your day a little bit.<BR/><BR/>I have thoroughly enjoyed all your recent posts and it's great to hear Graham's reports as well.<BR/><BR/>I echo everyone elses comments about carrying on this blog once the grand voyage is over. I do see in the Portunas Mag that you rejoin after your leave when we join in June!<BR/><BR/>Hope you and all on Arcadia enjoy a pleasant and safe trip home.<BR/><BR/>Jenny and Alex Thorpe (although no relation to John Thorpe who previously posted I don't believe!)Jenny and Alexnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549524304374457964.post-31160078020527391712009-03-27T10:13:00.000Z2009-03-27T10:13:00.000ZHappy Birthday James - I hope you have/have had a good one!<BR/><BR/>Graham's report was most interesting and after saying India didn't appeal, I must say Cochin seems to have swayed me somewhat.<BR/><BR/>Muscat next then. We have friends who lived there for many years and said what a wonderful place it is. I look forward to hearing about it and visiting next year. Far nicer than Dubai I understand.<BR/><BR/>You are indeed very lucky to be able to enjoy the job you do, while seeing the World and all on the wonderful Arcadia.<BR/><BR/>Have fun.<BR/><BR/>GillGillDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549524304374457964.post-13291431164695600152009-03-27T09:55:00.000Z2009-03-27T09:55:00.000ZHappy Birthday James,(you share the same birthday as our son Dan, your Asst F&amp;B Manager) Great blog, its been lovely to be able to read &amp; track you on your Grand voyage.<BR/><BR/>Regards<BR/><BR/>John ThorpeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549524304374457964.post-78717628631747908952009-03-27T09:52:00.000Z2009-03-27T09:52:00.000ZHave a happy birthday James!
