The Enchanted Island of Luam

My Darling Dona Honey bunch well here I am i the beautiful south seas where it is hotter than heell ad I don't do a dam thing but sleep and they serve beer at 9:30 every morning I will get KP once a month and guard Japs once a month that is all, but as yet I am not sure I will stay on this beautiful island but the Matins are swell. With their pretty grass secrets nad leave the rest to me they are pretty friendly If you don;t let thur husband catch you as the balo knows are pretty sharp. Well all kidding aside it is sure the food is better than any I have had in the states





Take a short break with our 1 minute survey, simple questions that are an enjoyable distraction.
