New Century Hotel Tamuning

... island maybe a mile southwest of Guam thats almost uninhabited. The currents underwater were pretty strong but it made the dives so much cooler! The first dive was along the reef ridge on the east side and the second was on the west. For both dives you barely had to swim because the current was so strong so you could litterally just kick it and float on down the reef. Because not a lot of divers make it out here and fisherman are rare there was a ...

... experience and it helps the time pass quicker. So far I've knocked out over 130 missions all over the Pacific and have had the opportunity to work with several different aircraft other than just the B52. But my weather life really isn't all that exciting and Im sure if that's what I wrote about a lot less people would read these blogs.. unless they needed a sleep aid haha.<br> Ok so Saturday we went down to the Navy base on the south part of the island to check ...

... The pictures make it look like something out of a movie. <br> After the hike, we found out there was a dive shop on the Navy base to which we have a membership through so we rented some tanks and headed out to Gab Gab... the beach most of my dives have occurred on and I got a great chance to experiment with my new underwater camera. Yes... I know... its camera #3 haha Ive had horrible luck! The first two did not have external waterproof ...

 After a long couple of days with a sore wrist and nothing to do with a lot on my mind, I ran into Jeremy and decided to get off base. No 25 mile bike this time though! It was already about 430 pm and the sun crashes every night at 630. I had bought this guide to hiking in Guam last week at the Navy Base and found an "easier" hike not too far from base that alotted for just a couple hours. The spot was to Ague Cove, which is a secluded ...

... convince Dr T. Still all wound up, I want to go shopping. Tony does not. Guess who wins? He is determined to find a beach pub and he does! We have a beer, play cards (I win but it is veeeeeery close) and watch the sun set and the hundreds of Japanese on the beach. It is Saturday: they are here for the weekend. To say bye to Guam, we have our meal in the HRC. I should remember for next time: vegetables in the HRC means ...

... a lot of searching (their own personnel does not know where in the hotel we can get a drink) we step out and take a taxi home. It is 5$ for a short ride. The possibility of a cheap rental car looks better with the minute. I lay down for half an hour, drink a liter of water and that does the trick. Hubby sends me out: inquire about the shuttle buses (as said on the website), car rental and camera shop. No shuttle buses, indeed cheap cars: 40 ...

... and it's present with any Chamorran meal. The platter also came with tinala katne, what was described to me as a dried beef which made me think of jerky, but it was nothing like that. The beef was soft, supple, reddish pink on the inside, chargrilled on the outside, and while it wasn't fatty at all, it had that lip-smacking taste of beef gristle - the kind on a steak I love to suck for flavour but usually spit out because the idea of swallowing a chunk ...

... we got away from the main town. There was beautiful coastline all along the way and a few waterfalls to see as well. As we got back to the main town I saw more America-like things, even a small scale of the Statue of Liberty. Just north of town was a lookout point called Two Lover's ...

Hi, We are currently on a lay over in Guam. We went over the international date line so we lost a day. But before I explain Guam let me back up to Hawaii. We left our hotel and traveled to Honoulu to stay with two of our friends from San Francsico, Jennifer and Paul. They recently bought a house on Oahu and now live there almost full time. Their house is gorgeous very Hawaiin with a ...

... away. Alas, due to the vaganizing of the military, this is no longer practiced. Oh, and the reason we called it "the pig seat" is because quite often EA-6B's are called pigs because of their unattractive form. Finally, after four days of fun in the sun and doing everything from snorkeling on reefs to visiting a water park, it was time for us to go back to sea. Our next stop.... Kuala Lumpur. Sound exciting doesn't it? Until then.... Fair winds.... Old Salt
