This is such an exciting time of the year – We have just enjoyed Halloween, (for me and my fellow Brits – Guy Fawkes Day or Bonfire night 5th November) another birthday for me on the 7th – 29 again! Then it is on to Thanksgiving (yes I am also proud to be an American) followed by Christmas and New Years. BUT the reason I get so excited is this is the time of the year when I see so many friends make their final arrangments for our next Cunard World Cruise – so many old (sorry, former friends) returning to enjoy this special time with me.

As a kid, I used to listen to James Taylor’s “Fire and Rain” and “How Sweet It Is” over and over…as a young man working for Golden Bear Travel, I used to listen to James Taylor’s “Greatest Hits” and two of my favorite songs were “Mexico” and “You’ve Got A Friend”…now as a much older “young man,” I am amazed and delighted to see James Taylor headlining the entertainment aboard a Cunard Line Queen Mary 2 Trans-Atlantic Voyage! As Bob Dylan says, “The Times They Are A-Changin’”….
