Hi Diego-

   I believe R&R stood for rest and recuperation.
   I can tell you some of the places I went. Three places in the Tokyo Japan 
area I really liked were Kamakura where the big Budha is. And two places I 
liked were Atami and Niiko, one was on a beautiful lake, I can't remember 
which off hand. Japn is one of the beautiful countries of the world.
   Another popular place I visited was Hong Kong which had just about 
everything you could want. Everyone of my friends had expensive clothes made 
there for ridiculous low prices and then when we got to the States found out 
they were out of style :-(
   Hawaii and Australia were too far away but some of my buddies went to 
Manila and Clark Field. I had a friend married a girl in Manila whose father 
owned a department store. So many wealthy families in Manila tried to marry 
their daughters off to Americans that it became a joke.
