1. This was my first time outside the United States.

2. I was 18 yrs old, and could legally drink.

3. I recall some German chicks....

4. Trying to catch Stone crabs one night crossing a road (I think this happened, but see #2). This seems lame, but there were thousands of them scampering across the road, it was kind of freaky.

5. I flew British Airways on this trip, and something happened with my reservation on the way home. I don't recall the details, but my seat was lost (not my fault). The airline bumped me to first class (only seat available)! Keep in mind I was only 18, and this was my first trip outta the US. I had a 4 star meal on the flight back, and drank as much free booze as I could get down on the 1 1/2 hour flight home to Tampa. I think this is what got me hooked on travel, I figured if international travel is like this, why not... 8) Of course this was the good ol days, when airlines actually treated you like a human being.
