1st rainy season in the Phillipines cured me of using that location!

Our home port was Subic Bay, and I spent a few days here and there in
Manila. But I never ran into enough rain to get my socks wet. Although, I
certainly got my "socks wet" in Manila. But I was just an E5, not an
Officer like you.

Uh, I wasn't an officer.

I was stationed there in '72 (I think) and we had what seemed like
forever rain. More than 40 days and 40 nights...

Let me correct that, I think it was '67 or '68 when we had that very wet
rainy season.

Ahhh, Brian. You are finally catching on. "Clint" is one of r.t.c.'s long
standing trolls. Less offensive than most trolls (and sometimes, pretty
funny), but a troll none the less.

The reason that the "PARADISE" non smoking ship did not last was for a
specific reason GROUPS.. YOU need Groups to fill a ship, and with NO
SMOKING there is always some one in a group that is a smoker and need
to accomadate them somehow so they would go to a ship that had areas
of smoking. Which is fair, I DO NOT smoke and do not like it at all,
HOWEVEr for those that do there needs to be a area for this. Guess on
the solstice it will be in the PARK on the GRASS hahahaha

Most do not allow stogies other then in the CIgar bar.

At least there isn't foul language involved.

We went on a cruise last year with a group of about a hundred and I
don't think anyone smoked. None of the adults although there could
have been a couple of teens who did.

They are going again this summer. We aren't and although there are
several reasons we aren't, one was the smoking on last year's ship.

Which ship was so bad you choose not to go because of the smoke?

A better idea is to knock your drink on your lap, accidentally, of course...
With a wet lap, YOU will be the one that moves. Hahahahaha
