MREs for days on end

No real shower for weeks at a time

Waking in the middle of the night to put a gas mask on

Instant coffee for what seemed like eons

Great vacation! Highly recommended! 😄

Have a great day, folks!

      Truth be told, I really didn’t mind them that much. The quality was much better than we had heard.
