I think so.  I won't argue the fact that I am nuts but either I am not nuts
enough, too nuts, or I am a different kind of nuts then required for
submarine life.

So was that enough time away to shake the "routine blues"? 
Sometimes it only requires a few hours of breathing new air to get back
into ship shape.  Not that I've ever been in the Navy but I can't see that
being too different then many other jobs wrt time off or time out.

I have never been in that part of the world.  I know of places around
Canada where I'd recommend keeping your guard up to be a healthy attitude. 
I am sure that is true everywhere although some places might be worse then
others (ie not visitor friendly).

Life is good,
Maurice
