Shelly: Geez! That must've been terrible!
Tom: Not so bad as it sounds. Some of just got colds, but otherwise, we were fine.
Ricky: This, in turn, reminds me of the worst weather experience I had. 
Shelly: What was it?
Ricky: Last yr went on a cruise around the Mediterranean.
Tom: Gr8 idea! Tell me l8r what and when?
Ricky: Listen to this first and then decide if u rly wanna know.
Tom: All right. Listening. 
Ricky: So, everything was absolutely fine. Going from one port to the next one, sleeping on the ship. 
Shelly: But?
Ricky: There was this one night when we were swimming from Greece to Turkey. And suddenly all hell broke loose!
Tom's cruise went good, other than some people getting colds. Ricky had terrible weather on his cruise from Greece to Turkey and discourages Tom from doing that one.
