text: 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!
target: 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.
