Thanks Marija. It's been a while and I was thinking it was an actual TR.

I just spent 45 minutes scrolling through the list of dogster's posts and couldn't find it. I did remember it wasn't titled a trip report, so I asked that it be flagged as such since you found it, Marija. Thanks!

Marija,

I am still trying to search for those pictures taken in 2011 but I might have lost the hard drive that I kept them in, my house was flooded last year. If I find them I'll update you.

I could not get your link to work, Pook. I put in the password but it just 'bleeps' and does nothing.

Was absolutely shocked to hear of the dog's passing. I had sent him an email earlier in the year to come cruising with us as he had mentioned he wanted to do this particular one (Paul Gauguin in French Polynesia) but didnt hear from him. Then heard here of his health issues and absence.

I have enjoyed his banter here over the years and on cruise critic where his posts were immediately deleted.

Like everyone I have been reading the posts and parts of his blogs!

Thanks for the pics and all the links & anecdotes.

It occurred to me that the Dogster probably found it refreshing & liberating to have a place where no one (or few) his Nigel identity, exploits & achievements. Not that there's any indication of inhibition elsewhere (!) but you know what I mean, I'm sure.

What an interesting & talented man. He certainly didn't "die with the music still in him", even if there were more tunes to be played on that fiddle.

Thank you so much for the photos.... I so enjoyed his writings... it's nice to see the person they emanated from. He doesn't look like the person I imagined..... but the more I read now the more fun it is with the real image.

I really need to try to set up a smugmug or other type of account so I could post the Christmas party photos of dogster with my family and friends (2 years in a row) at the local bar, Pickled Liver. There were party hats and decorations and smiles abound!! I've sent these photos to Tony in any case.

I just saw this today and gasped. So, so sad. He was by far my favorite writer here. RIP.

RIP Dogster. I haven't been in Fodors much in recent years so when I read about Dogster, I suddenly thought of Neil_Oz. I searched this forum and saw the thread on Neil's cyber wake. So we are 2 down.

Hanuman I meant from downunder. I remember Gpanda's passing. Wrote his name on a tile for a temple roof in Samui.
