LOL. I was stationed in Europe and traveled to London for vacation back in the early 80's. I bit into a Burger King hamburger and cracked a tooth that already had a root canal. I stayed at a hotel near the embassy for a night to get a temp put in. I had to give the hotel ~$250 in advance to cover for the mini bar in the room. I got the money back when I left. I was travelling with some cash and travelers checks. $250 was a lot of money for young sailor back in the day..
Egad! I sure wouldn’t have been able to scrounge up $250 on a night out on liberty!
Heh, “traveler’s checks”...I remember those!
