Did some “Adventure travel” with the hill tribes in Burma in 1984, 85, and 86. It was a great adventure until I caught a resistant strain of Malaria and it almost killed me. What a long strange trip it was !

Thanks for the update.

I might have been uncertain before, but was cured of ever wanting an Asian adventure the first time I performed the collateral duty onboard our ship of reviewing the controlled drugs our ship chief corpsman had. Penicillin was a controlled drug and it seemed every striker and rating to 2nd class in my division had taken treatment. The ship had just spent a lot of time in the Subic Bay Philippines.
