    Bon Voyage to me

    This is why I do not like sailing back to Southampton after a autumn/winter cruise as it gets colder and colder and colder and spoils the end of the holiday, flying back is best I think (unless you are on the vodka all the way back and do not know whats what)

    Bon Voyage to me

    That's me all over, I'm off to the Caribbean because that's where I want to go, in February because that's when I want to go, in a ship because I want to go on the sea and with the wife because that's what's she wants. We are obviously 2 peas from the same pod.

    Bon Voyage to me

    Unfortunately I am quite ugly, wrong side of 70, had cancer, heart attack and acute kidney failure but I blame the wife as because she felt anxious once about travelling in the car (nothing to do with my driving) she saw the doctor who gave her a few pills, of course this has to be flagged up...
