I'm curious how many have been to as many places as I have. Places I have visited outside of the US mainland, compliments ot the US Air Force as a flight engineer on the C141A cargo jet transport. Addis Abba and Asmara, Ethiopia Terhan, Iran Incirlik, Turkey Negev desert, Jordan Beruit, Lebenon Athens and Thessoniki, Greese Pisa, Italy Frankfort, Neurnberg, Bonn and Ramstien, Germany Madrid, Rota and Zaragosa, Spain Greenham Common AB Newbury, England Oslo, Norway The Azores Reyflavik, Iceland Thule, Greenland Goose Bay, Labrador Porta Rico Guamtomino, Cuba Fairbanks and Ankorage, Alaska Honolula, Hawaii Wake Island Guam Clark AB and Cubi Bay, Philippines Yokata AB, Japan Kadena AB, Okinawa Tageau AB, Korea Viet Nam, Saigon, Bein Thui, Camroon Bay and many forgotten places Thailand, Bangtok, NKP, many forgotten places First hitch was in the Army during Korean war. It ended before I went to Korea, but I did go to Japan. We sailed from New Orleans through the Panama Canal to the northern island of Hokkaido. There I was at Inewa, Chitose and Sapporo. Went over on the troop ship Gaffey and returned on the Morton to Seattle. We departed Japan in the tail end of a typhoon because the ship captain wanted to see a baseball game in Seattle. Everybody got seasick. I was ok until I was made to go below decks that night. Puke all over the place, including the water fountains. I was sick for three days. The mess cook gave me a dry biscuit and a sour pickle to cure the seasickness. !!It worked!! |

Moscow, Kiev, Prague, Amsterdam, New York, Chicago; then a few years later, San Francisco, Honolulu, Guam, Manila, Thailand, Diego Garcia, Iran and Nairobi. That, longitudinally, is once around the world. I can't remember all the other places in between or since, 'cause I'm getting old. |
