I was in New Orleans for Mardi Gras in the mid 80's and was surprised to see an aircraft carrier docked in the French Quarter.

It was great to see the carrier but not the sailors, I didn't want the competition for the ladies. Fortunately they weren't much competition. They melted into the hundreds of thousands of Mardi-Gras goers and most just wanted to get sh!t faced as soon as possible.

we also found out through careful analyization and detection that Mrs. C. was a former stripper from Cleavland

My mother is my girlfriend! I enjoy shoving raw vegitables up my anus.

Ive been all over, except for the Pacific, and there are 2 Ports that stand out above all the others Ive been...

Lisbon, Portugal and Palma de Mallorca (island in The Med)

The surrounding areas of Lisbon were unreal... I recall surfing in clear blue 6 foot tubes whilst topless hotties strolled along the beach and fabulous food.... The people were awesome, the nightlife insane, the beers were delicious, the weather was tits, the locals spoke English.... I would move there before I considered anywhere else to live overseas...

Palma was drop dead beautiful... An Oasis in The Med... There was this one bar, right next to the Russian Whorehouse on the hill outside Port that was our main watering hole the 3 times I was there....

This Scottish bartender broad would throw darts with us for free shots, and the shots were from a bottle of Japanese booze that had a dead lizard inside it.... U swirled the bottle around and u could see little pieces of lizard floating around inside...

Good stuff!!!

If u lost the round of darts, the shot was a 5 dollar bill...

I have been to Mallorca many times and I will never go again! Too many Germans there! It is the 17th state of Germany now!

Of all the Islands in the region (to include parts going to parts of Africa) I would rather go to:

Crete (going there for the 2nd time in about 6 weeks).
Rhodos
Ibiza
Tenerife
Gran Canaria
Fuerteventura
La Palma

lesofprimus · 07-12-2008, 11:35 AM

Crete was great, pulled into Souda Bay 3 times, but I preferred Palma more so.... I was there in the early 90's and didnt notice the Germans at all....

DerAdlerIstGelandet · 07-12-2008, 12:28 PM

I dont how you did not notice them!

Flying MAC, we went all over but stay very little. As a general consensus, the aircrews wanted to go to

Australia, New Zealand. I think, for the girls.
Greece
Japan. In the 70's it was the place to shop, cameras, stereos, china, papasan chairs, hibachi pots, etc. All hoped that a air-evac was not picked up going home since the nurses had a habit of throwing out personal effects, which they could do.
anyplace in-country (Vietnam) or over-country. We got a months free taxes and combat pay

After that
England. One can almost read the signs
Germany
Spain. Saw parts of a Ju-52 and He-111 sitting on the side of the road at the base. It was still Franco times, the rumor was not to fool with the guys in the three pointed hats, they could kill you.
Thailand
Okinawa. Still remember that Kobe beef!

Then everywhere else except Turkey

Armpit of the world
Incerlik, Turkey. Nobody wanted to leave base.

Notes:

More good planes "broke" in Athens than anywhere else and more bad planes launched out of Turkey than anywhere else.

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Lush, high alitude (9800 ft), dirt poor. They had cardboard box subdivisions. Everybody got the runs.

Keflavik, Iceland. A cold rock always at minimums. I am sure Iceland is nicer elsewhere.

Iran, during Shah times. Tense, crazy drivers, brutal police.

Azores. Isolated, seemed nice, great bread. Sangria was a popular purchase.

.

I was there in 1990 an liked it. There is a great museums in Adana. Food was good although I got the runs. There was no toilet paper in the bathrooms and EVERY body smoked.

I took a bus from Adana to Ankara to Izmir. A friend of mine married a Turkish woman -- she is beautiful .
