Pia Resort Tumon

Weekend of October 24th/25th<br><br>This weekend couldn't have been a nicer weekend for wet season Guam.... After a long and crazy week the weather was perfect and the waves were almost glass making an awesome couple of days of diving. With only a few more weekends before I head home I don't have too much time left to see everything on my list for Guam. So I signed up for 4 boat dives.. two of which were free and the other two cost only 35 dollars ...

... Double Reef Beach. The coves were really awesome and involved a little extra climbing to get down there but were totally worth the extra effort. There was no trash down there and it was just one of those spots that you know people haven't been in a long time and was just "pure".  Two coves later I got down to Double Reef Beach and was just frozen in time for a minute. It was a small bay shaped open beach with perfect shade from Binalo trees and really shallow but nice ...

... after 3 hours of Guam's sun shining down on us. <br>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 ...

... the waves pushing outside of the harbor, he changed the dive destination to a little dive inside the harbor. Not wanting to waste the money spent on the boat and kind of disappointed, we postponed our trip, filled some tanks and took to the shore. <br>We chose to dive Gab Gab 2 and a dive spot called fish eye pier. Gab Gab 2 is a buoy in the middle of the harbor that gives a good idea to where a reef is that starts at about 50 feet. You have to swim out to the buoy which is ...

... Havaijilainen, Espanjalainen, Amerikkalainen vaiko kenties Japanilainen??? Minä ainakin olin ihan nuppi sekaisin, enkä saanut oikein otetta, että missä tässä nyt itseasiassa oikein ollaan? Guam kuuluu siis nykypäivänä Yhdysvalloille ja sen huomaa hyvin äkkiä, niin hyvässä kuin pahassakin. Heti ensimmäisenä päivänä tärähti ravintolassa niin iso annos ruokaa pöytään, ettei mitään tsänssiä jaksaa loppuun! Seuraavaksi ostin popkornia yhdellä dollarilla ja myyjä mätt ...

... kello 10 kuulutuksien jälkeen ja pamautettiin Keisei Limited junalla suoraan Naritan terminaali 1:teen, josta Northwest Airlinesin koneet lähtevät. Koska Guam kuuluu Yhdysvalloille, niin Amerikkalaiset yhtiöt myös hallitsevat tätä lentoverkostoa siihen suuntaan. Todella ärsyttävä homma, ettei lentokentillä voi edelleenkään olla yksinkertaisia tulostuspisteitä, joissa saisi hotellivaraukset ja lentoliput tulostettua! Kyllä nykypäivänä pitäisi tälläiset systeemit löytyä joka kent ...

... pub and returned there many times afterwards. I admit, we also went back to Denny's, where Hubby had their BIG breakkie. Shopping is a challenge here. Although the island is American, they live on the Japanese. Half the products in almost all the shops are Japanese. We have NO idea what it is! Garlic is NOT stored like we do: check out the picture! We did follow another advice from the Lonely Planet, Old Hagåtña Bar &amp; Grill. The bar ...

Well, I'm still sick, but I'm heading to China anyway. Especially since I'm entering by train, I don't expect the Chinese border to be very strict, at least with respect to my body temperature. I don't remember Hong Kong having anything like that, either. I did a little work last night to get some things ready for The MathWorks to review while I'm in China. Otherwise, I just ...

... from 1100 to 1700 A.D. Principally found on the islands of Guam, Rota, Tinian, and Saipan. Latte were used as the foundations of important structures in Chamorro villages. Their use in the Chamarro culture vanished when the Spanish devastated the islands in the 1600s. These latte, relocated in 1956, are from the former village of Mepo in the Fena Valley of the current Ordninance Annex, US Naval Activities, Guam. The village site was destroyed by military construction after World War II.

... and talk, then dance with Philippino girl for a while, then go to bed 4) Wake up early to go to ship (6am depart, arrive on brow at 6:59, mad rush across island in cab with Martha), then muster people in hangar bay, help SDO with some stuff, call home, do some more work, then go to Supply bail at Jeff's Pirate Cove on other side of island with most of division. Pretty fun, gorgeous stars, as usual amazing view of the waves crashing before they get anywhere near the beach ...
