A summer may seem like a long time when you're young, but believe me, a summer seasonal position goes by very quickly -- I speak from experience on this based on my seasons in "grey & green".
Just my twa bob...but if it's a good opportunity, and given the current state of the economy, especially for college grads, you're worrying far too much about what there is to do after work.

I'd like to second the comment about the experience.
When I was in the Navy we pulled into many foreign ports, some of which my more experienced ship mates said were real dumps, nothing to do, unfriendly people, etc.
I never had a port call that I didn't find something that I could enjoy doing, and I've found that to be true everywhere I've been here in the States as well. I've spent a fair amount of time in Northeastern OK and Northwestern AK and always found the people friendly. They may think the kilt is a bit strange, but it sounds like a great opportunity to me.
