World Cruise 2018 I went round the world last year with my husband / Southampton to Southampton . What an experience and we had a lot of similar adventures so it has been lovely to ‘relive’ one of the best experiences of our life including the missed ports ( Tonga, Bay of Islands) and the medical emergencies)! It was 100 days because we missed the 15th February completely. I would do it all again in a heartbeat.
Welcome to the UK Hi Susan, Looking forward to hearing that you are back on terra firma - please let us have your contact details whilst you're in the UK. Your blog has been amazing and an inspiration. We were sorry to have to leave you in Sydney but it sounds as though you have had an amazing time and will be interested to hear what the final leg of the cruise was like compared to when we first met you in San Francisco
hello boys! thank you for your nice comment! i miss you both as well. perhaps one day we will cruise together again. i will email you my godmothers address and phone number once i am settled on land again.
with every good wish,
susan xoxo
Facinating! I am really enjoying your blog! I think you are very brave, especially going on your own in the male dominated countries. Thanks for sharing!!
Birds of the Gulf Hi Susan. Wonderful reading about your continuing adventures on the Arcadia. I believe the large white birds in your photos are Northern Gannets. They are powerful streamlined seabirds that are adapted for plunge-diving for fish. Their distribution area is from Iceland down to Newfoundland and the east coast of Canada and the U.S. to the north western coast of Africa, the Mediterranean, the middle east and then the European coast and North Sea to the north of Finland and Norway. They really get around. Keep enjoying that cruising'!
Giddy up Captain Cook I had a good chuckle reading the title to this post lol. Glad you are having fun even though there seems to be some set backs. Love reading your posts and can’t wait for more :)

Our virtual cruise! Hello, we have been following your blog with interest. We were due to be on the Arcadia for the full world cruise, but unfortunately had to cancel due to my husband being ill.We are sorry to hear of the problems there have been with gales, hurricanes, delays and missed ports. We would have been very disappointed to miss Brisbane and the Great Barrier Reef particularly,we hope the rest of your cruise will better, and you will not have any more upsets. You are right, the weather here in the UK is amazingly warm for February, up to 18c in some parts with sunshine. We will enjoy reading the rest of your blog, keep it up, we are on a “virtual cruise” anyway, and will continue to watch with interest. Thank you.
An eventful cruise!! Hi Susan!
Enjoyed your post!! Thanks for taking us along on your cruise. Too bad to miss some ports and gosh, that’s too bad someone died!! It’s pretty horrific. I’m guessing lots of people sick because of the rough seas, getting dehydrated, etc. busy ship’s doctor.
Hey, can other people see my comments? Looking forward to the next post!
Have fun!

Glad to hear from you! Wow, it all sounds amazing Susan! I’m so glad you’re getting to experience it. We are suffering in sub zero temps with snow-for the next two weeks, so your timing on leaving was perfect. I’ll call your mon tomorrow and make sure she’s okay. I hope the next leg of your journey is smooth sailing and that you continue to have a great time. Looking forward to your next post. Take care xoxo
Can't wait to read your blog My husband and will be going on a "budget" ww cruise next year. Many blogs seem to be from people on expensive cruises and I'll be happy to see some budget tips!
