Tex Takes a Vacation

Well, I did something that I never thought I would, I went on a cruise.

I was practically forced into it.

And to those who forced me into it, I say -

"Thank you, thank you very much."

    I spent three years "cruising" on an aircraft carrier(USS Midway CVA-41) and four more years on a Pacific Missile Range range safety ship, the USNS Wheeling T-AGM8.

    That's was just about enough cruising for me.

    Bob, WTF are you using for a PC over there, a Blackberry!?
    WindowsCE SUCKS, and was notorious for just those kinds of red herrings, especially in e-mail.

    Bob _ Think I was slightly more pampered than you were. I can understand why you had enough cruising.

    Galt - I sprung for a balcony cabin, well worth the extra. I liked sitting on the balcony smoking Cuban cigars. There was 24 hour room service, though I only used it once, it was more fun to get out and see everything and everyone. All the food was free and since I drink like a fish, I bought a special drink deal - 15 alcohol drinks a day. At one point during an excursion I was reminded of the lyrics to a song "I had a drink in my hand, had my toes in the sand..."
    It was way better than I ever dreamed, but coming back to reality and work is a bit of an adjustment.

    Billy - I may have, free food all the time and lots of alcohol, I probably did.
