I was in NORVA 77-80. While we were in drydock 79&80 I had an apartment in Squidview across from Best Western just before the curve. About two blocks away toward Little Creek Rd and some bar called The Purple Onion was a 7-11. They had Mad Dog, Boones Farm etc. For anything stronger it meant a trip to the state ABC store. Mad Dog still makes my head hurt just thinking about it.

I also remember going to St Thomas in 78 or 79. I bought a ticket for a ship arranged tour of a near by island we rode a ferry to. The tour it seems was a trip to a park on the beach where about a dozen or so of us were to share a case of Rum they left there when they dropped us off.

BTW do you remember Texas Jacks in Palma and the Texas Fireball? LOL

Texas Jacks? BUT OF COURSE! My signature is on the wall somewhere up high...:)

LOL...they just dropped you off with a case of Rum??????

Heh, now THAT's a party!

I didn't have time to write earier, but my wife and I went on our honeymoon to Mallorca, and went back for our 10th Anniversary...:)

Oh, how I loved port call in Mallorca...

On a related subject, Since you and I had somewhat the same stomping grounds for a while, I thought you might be interested in an account I wrote of a singularly...odd, weird and downright memorable night in Barcelona at the link below:

My Mediterranean Cruise...:)
