Mandara Spa At The Westin Resort Guam Tumon

... after 3 hours of Guam's sun shining down on us.
We swam around for about an hour, just relaxing and enjoying pure nature at it's best. We even hiked down the river a bit to find a 2nd waterfall that was a beauty in it's own. The masquito infested river to it was worth the extra hike! Before we left to head back to the car I had to conquer this waterfall. Even though I about wet my pants several times thinking about it, I ...

... a lot of Divers feed this guy and he is very friendly... coming out, swirling around you and even touching your mask. At one point it shot straight at me and litterally ran into my camera.. not the brightest crayon in the box but hey.. I guess you dont have to be when people feed you all day! The other real cool thing about that particular dive was the visibility. Its far outside of the harbor so theres not as much ...

... br> After all this we snagged a delicious mahi mahi breakfast at a local joint and headed up to Big Navy, the island's navy base, to go out for a hike. Today was the first day all week that the weather was real nice after the typhoon leaving! Can't let that go to waste in rainy season! We started out by going to Orote Point is the westernmost point in the U.S. and also a very important landmark in both the overtaking of Guam in WWII ...

... 1914 the Cormoran pulled into Apra Harbor off Guamwith only 50 tons of coal remaining. Due to both the very unstable relationships between Germany and the U.S., and that Guam also had a very limited amount of coal, the Guam Military Governor refused to supply the Cormoran with more than a token amount of coal, hence, she was forced into internment on Guam. Over the next two years the crew became guests of the Guamanians, and relations ...

... orange tape and trekking to it.It took about 45 minutes to get to the point where we could see Ague Cove which is a beautiful sight in itself. The West side of the Pacific ocean was just beginning to change foliage with the sunset and the cliffs began to emit an orange light from the sundown. Not giving up yet! We looked around for a bit to find the last peice of the trail but were unsuccessful knowing that we had to head back up before ...

... haittaa, koska käyttäytyvät hyvin, eivätkä taatusti ole rantapaikkaa sinulta viemässä. Japanilaiset nimittäin pelkää aurinkoa ja ruskettumista kuollakseen, koska vaaleus on siellä arvossa arvaamattomassa. Japanilaisille tämä Guam on lähin paikka, mistä hamstrata Yhdysvaltojen hinnoilla tavaraa ja aivan karmeaa katsottavaa oli kuinka jengi kahmii paikallisesta luksuskaupasta jotain 1000 euroa maksavia laukkuja kuin irtokarkkeja! Seuraavaksi rupean ...

... Vainion: "Käyn ahon laitaa" biisiä kellon ympäri! Toivottavasti meni jakeluun, että tämä oli sitten vitsi! :-) Todella paljon kaikkia perinteisiä Japanilaisia herkkuja on tässä temppelille menevän kadun varrella myytävänä, että viimeiset jenit (jos jotain sellaisia vielä tässä vaiheessa on jäljellä) saa helposti täällä kulutettua. Tämä Naritasan temppelialue olikin sitten iso positiivinen yllätys ja todella upea paikka! Käveltiin parissa tunnissa koko alue läpi ja nähtiin hienoja ...

... was seriously disappointed. He was rooting for the Rockies, and I think he had some money riding on it. The flight to Guam was an uneventful 40 minutes. Since I'm in First Class, I even get to use the wireless and snacks at the President's Club while I'm waiting. So here I am, typing to you overlooking the airfield and watching a spider build its web right outside the window.

... appreciation for cultural differences. It is great. Hopefully one day you will decide to venture into one of these expeditions either as a student, scientist or as a tourist. It does not really matter as long one is open to learn, that is the key we learn everyday and I hope this semester you will learn about geology and about our planet.... at the end of the day this is our only home and we need to take care of it.

... I headed there. Next door was a Gameworks (a huge video arcade). I spent some time just walking around and came to some little kids who were playing a fighting game where they stood on a small square and the computer would detect their actual movements. The kid would kick and his character would kick on screen. This was fairly amusing so I watched for about 10 minutes when ...
