JohnH,
I heard similar stories from many of my buddies who were in VN. How long
was it before you stopped having "nightmares" of VN? I still dream I am in
college and it is exam day, and I can't remember where my class is. I knew
I should have gone to the class at least once before exam day. ; )

JohnH,
She comes back to the room every 7 to 8 hrs to roll Harry out to the hotel
room's patio for some sunshine, fresh air, and to let him enjoy the beauty
of Hawaii.

LOL!

The young, beautiful bride is probably being taught how to surf by one
of
those
macho, surfer types on the beach!

JohnH,
In all of the groups I read, Harry is the only person who takes a
vacation,
and then posts in the morning, again in the afternoon, and then again in
the
evening. I would have no desire to post while on vacation, but my wife
would be very upset if I found posting on rec.boats more enjoyable than
having a vacation with her.

Then again, if my wife (did I mention she is a young beautiful bride?)
was
married to someone like Harry, she might prefer if I was typing away in
rec.boats than spending time with her.

Harry,
You posted a week's worth of activities, how did you get all that
great
stuff done in 4 days, especially since you have been posting on
rec.boats
through out each of the 4 days you have been in Hawaii. I am beginning
to
think this Harry Krause might be "Smithers".

I think we all are being "Smithered" again.


In three weeks we leave for our Disney Cruise. Please keep track of
the
number
of posts and amount of time I spend trying to attract the attention of
folks
while I'm on vacation!

During my Vietnam excursion, the Army flew me to Hawaii for a week with
the
wife. The first evening there, wife (beautiful, young bride) and I were in
bed
(napping after our flights :) ), and all of a sudden explosions were
going off
everywhere! I yelled "INCOMING" and jumped to the floor. After a few
seconds, I
sheepishly realized that nothing bad was happening. It turned out to be
the
evening fireworks show put on by the Ilikai Hotel (sp?).

Luckily, I was a Combat Engineer in Vietnam. I didn't face the crap the Infantry
guys faced on a daily basis. Most of our injuries were from land mines/booby
traps, or the kinds of things that happen when troops and heavy equipment get
together.

I would have infrequent dreams, nothing approaching the screaming nightmares
shown on TV.
