I learned how to surf there, made my first real purchase of a car, a beautiful red Nissan Sentra that I wrecked 2 days after...UGH. All the different beautiful ports we visited...throwing up in Korea on the liberty boat because I had too many double shots of tequila...BTW thanks for not rating me out!! Singapore, Hong Kong, Kowloon MAD DOGS...loved that place! Wow and Japan too!! I remember meeting up with ship in Sasebo Japan. So HUGE and overwhelming, I remember walking up to it thinking what did I get myself into hahaha Does anyone remember the Jungle!!!! Wet Willies played a lot of beach volleyball there. Anyone remember Kool World that alternative club?? Gosh so many memories had a ton of friends. Hope all is well my fellow shipmates and I will always miss driving her. I miss Conn has the Conn hahahaha You all have a special place in my heart.
