Hello from your neighbours!
Sounds like you are both having a wonderful time! Love the pictures; great to see all the adventures you are having. Enjoy your remaining part of your trip.

Groooooos bateau!
Jag says: c'est vraiment un gros bateau. Je me demande ce qu'il y a dans les grosses boites!

Sounds like a good trip!
Sounds like you guys are having a great trip. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing your trip with us.
Cold in Ottawa today, -6C with a wind chill to boot, but sunny and beautiful. Claire, I have enjoyed your writing and pics of your trip, it has been as lovely as it has been diverse - similar to your past adventures. You and Terry have shared an adventure to remember, and shared it with us also. Thanks. See you at the cottage this summer. Terry, you must share some of your musical talent with us this summer. Maybe Larry & I will put on grass skirts !!!!!! LOL - Ken

Get on it
Hey mom....i love this idea, i can be right there with you kinda on this cruise without ever even going....but one day your going to be the one sitting at the cottage retired and reading all my blogs from all my cruses ;) LOVE YOU....

No matter where you roam, there's no place like home....
I've travelled extensively - otherwise I'd be wealthy, which I'm not.........but I am rich, rich in memories that will last to the end of my days! Money goes - memories are for ever! I've followed along on your and Ides posts, loving every minute of them.....Thank you both for so generously sharing your experiences. Hubby and I are HAL devotees. The Prinsendam has become our favourite - as I write, we are awaiting medical OK to board her this coming weekend. I say to anyone, do it now, life is shorter than you think! The Powers that Be are in control. If you are returning to teaching, I've no doubt that your students will benefit greatly. Again, my thanks for a wonderful 'voyage' :-)

ooh you got some fans! quite right to. your writing is very creditable

Expense
Hi, I'm also enjoying your writing; just as a matter of interest, did you find the Seychelles expensive?

Lucky with the eclipse!
Hi I've continued to follow your trip... amazing... keep enjoying it as you'll be so sorry when it's over. How incredible that you were in Turkey when the total eclipse occured. It was one of the best places in the world to view! We were supposed to experience 25% in Birmingham here but it was cloudy and the event passed unnoticed! Our trip from Rio, round Cape Horn to Valpariso was just terrific. We could do it all again. The sea was not anything as rough as you had it when leaving Porto Madryn. Force 8 was as much as we had and considering the reputation that you hear about "rounding the horn" that was super! All the best with the rest of your trip I'll keep following. It'll give me experience ready for our second cruise. Brenda

COOOOOOOL
Wow those pics are too cool...They really do look all neat! Strike is over...thought u got my email...Semester wont be pushed into summer. So no exams i think! Anyways off to a class ttyl! Still house searching... Love you miss you!

Caste system scarcely exists in India anymore, what exists is social division based on economy. Like rest of the world there is the growing gap between the rich and the poor. The family in the sidewalk belongs to the later category. Like any hobo who live out of the sidewalk in New York city. These people are not necessarily "Shudra".

Finally Found you
Hey Aunt Clair and Uncle Terry. I only found your blog today. By found I mean click, but still...amazing. Ange and I took some time and flicked through the pages. We hope to go through in more detail later. It is great to see your travels. What is the itinerary from India?? Ryan

Glorious
That 'Sunset at sailaway' is , what can I say - just glorious............. We're enjoying every moment of your trip -one day perhaps........
