Plaza Tumon

... themselves before the Marine Corps made it to Guam to attempt to take the island back. We succeeded.. obviously and in less than a month of landing Guam was ours again! The pillboxes were a little difficult to get into but I swam out around climbed a little and squeezed myself in for some pics. I also got a shot from a hill of Asan Beach which is Guam's version of Normandy where the Marines took the first beach of Guam from the Japanese. <br> 

... maybe 10 hikes and hadn't seen one yet. I saw 8 on this trip... Everytime I would come up on one though it would take a look at me and freeze and then one more step on my part and that beast was gone! But I did get some good snapshots of a few that stuck around long enough for me to get a picture. The hike started at the base of the island on the North end which is at around 630 feet and descended down the cliffside somewhat gradually until it met several small coves ...

... the crew was sent to Fort Douglas, Utah for the duration of the war. They were finally sent home to Germany on October 7, 1919. She is sunk directly beside the Tokai Maru. "<br><br>Ok, back to our dive...<br>We had to jump on a dive boat to avoid the hour long swim out to the harbor. It was a lot more relaxing though b/c we could just load our tanks and our gear up on the boat and didn't have to bojangle with it until we were actually ...

... he could see was the floating hair of the two lovers. Too late, the father understood the meaning of their hair tied together. Since that day, the Chamorros look to the jutting peak by Tumon Bay with a kind of reverence. They are paying respect to the young couple who showed them that real love comes from the entwining of two souls, true to one another in life and in death. And, forever after, the high point on the cliff has been known as "Two Lovers Point." <br>

... a guide or go with a group,we decided to wing it based on a visual memory of a satellite picture. Sigua Falls is a 70 foot waterfall deep in the jungle mountains southeast of Tumon that has a real deep lake and is known for being a great cliff jumping spot. After picking up my weather coworker that just arrived and Fuller, a friend from Alaska also deployed here, we headed out to the trailhead off the side of the road. The hike itself is 7 ...

... sijaitsee. Tälle tykille olisi sitten tarkoitus vielä lahjoittaa ja uhrata jotain leikkiaseita, että sodanjumalat pysyy tyytyväisinä, mutta voitte olla ihan varma etten osallistunut tuohon hölmöilyyn! Itse ranta on kyllä todella upea ja kannattaa jatkaa kallionreunaa eteenpäin vielä hienommalle rannalle. Two Lovers Point Jyrkkä kalliokieleke, mistä on hienot maisemat Tumoninlahdelle ja karmea suora pudotus alas mereen. Ja yllätys, yllätys paikkaan liittyy ...

... tilillä jo useampi sataa euroa hotellivarauksista kertyneitä bonuksia, että melko ilmaiseksi tulee nyt tämä asuminen. Tämä Holiday Resort hotelli oli aulasta aivan älyttömän hieno, mutta huoneet ei sitten ollutkaan ihan samaa tasoa. Ehkä joskus 80-luvulla on kyllä olleet, mutta ei enää. :-) Ei silti mitään valittamista, koska huone on aivan järkyttävän iso verrattuna Japanin huoneisiin ja saatiin vielä kulmahuoneisto, josta on parveke suoraan merelle. Nyt ei tosin keskellä yöll ...

... the sand is white and the water is clear and warm...it's just that there are so many better places that aren't so far away from home. And there was something slightly seedy about it. I guess it was the mix of strip clubs and tattoo shops dotted in with the run-down bars and the 80's style version of several American fast food chains (the Pizza Hut with the 8 ft roof, Wendy's with the giant orange haired Wendy on the sign, and Taco Bell in ...

... as it falls gracefully to the shores of Cetti Bay. Once the site of an ancient Chamorro settlement dating to A.D. 1000, Cetti Bay is most easily accessible by boat. In fact, the bay is such a popular retreat for Guam's southern boaters that it is not uncommon to spy a boat or two anchored in its aquamarine waters from the lookout.

... in charge of the huge food service division on Kitty Hawk) gave me random advice about what to do, who to listen to, when to talk, and how to get ahead in the Navy. It was pretty entertaining listening to this, and watching them persuade the other lieutenant with us, a Naval Academy grad who never drinks, to drink a few shots of Tequila and Jagermeister. After a few hours at the Treebark Café, they decided we needed to go back to the main strip, so we went "back into ...
