Sheraton Laguna Guam Resort Tamuning

... 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> 

... camoflauged  themselves in the coral. Near the end of the dive and unfortunatly my camera was dead for this one.. I saw a huge white fish maybe 50 feet to the right of me just flying through the water. There were two older gentlemen (probably in their 70s) right next to it and definitly got a better view. I tapped my dive partner, Chris, and he immediately started flying towards it. Apparently everyone realized before I did that this 10 foot fish was one of Guam's rare ...

... if I didnt jump the falls, I would regret it later and want to come back. I researched this before I did it by the way... there are videos of people doing it online and I read up on it. So im not completely crazy. The hike up and around the waterfall to the top was a little crazy, involved a lot of swordgrass and a steep muddy slope that I chose to "ride" down feet first on my butt. Once that hill was finished the view ...

... but the other struck the Tokai causing considerable damage, but not sinking her.Sinking History<br>Seven months later, the US submarine SNAPPER, patrolling west of Guam, spotted two ships in the harbor. Not knowing at the time that these were the Tokai Maru and another damaged ship (Nichiyo Maru), the submarine patiently waited for one week, and then made a submerged attack under the eye's of a Japanese patrol vessel less than two miles ...

So... of all the dangers that people worry about here on Guam, Who would think that the worst would be the drivers... on base??? Well, not too many exciting stories from this weekend due to this.. On the way back from work Friday Morning, I was riding my bike on the way to my barracks. I came up on an intersection with stop signs on my left and right and kept going. There was a car on the right with a woman, who Im thinkin was going to work and was not too ...

... This time, it is a relieve to be back on the surface. Poor Kevin sighs when he hears all issues. All my problems are solved for the second dive. Dr T still has mask and BCD issues. But, at least we get to enjoy this dive. The coolest moment is when we see a ... submarine! No kidding! A commercial submarine. The people in THERE wave and make pictures of us while we make pictures of them: it is fun! Only: our camera fogs on ...

... How would we know, it is her rooms not ours! Tony says simply: 'A cheap one.' Now that she has her answer what room we want to see, she starts summing up the all rooms with their price. Cheapest 75$, same as we pay now but no kitchenette. She sends her colleague with us, who has no clue where the rooms are. I am not impressed. We stayed in Days Inn in the States for less than 30$! And the rooms were much bigger. We go back downstairs and ...

... behalf of "Hunka, Chunka Brownie Love", while I was pumping my fist for "Whole Lotta Strawberry Shortcake". I won. After my taste of Cake Batter again (how could I resist?), we were tucking into strawberry ice cream on top of yellow cake, with strawberry sauce, graham pie crumbs, and a cloud of whipped cream. All while breezes blew the palm trees outside an outlet mall in the middle of a Pacific island that I can hardly pinpoint on a map. Blissful indeed.

... have up to 12,000 snakes per square mile". They feed on eggs and chicks of birds and can be a danger to small domestic animals. I'm sure if I looked in the bush, I'd find one or two, but perhaps on another trip! Took an around the island drive and found it appealing and interesting, albeit hot, too. Did you know that the Pacific Ocean ends on the east shore of Guam and the Philippine Sea starts on the west shore? I didn't ...

... I was excited at the time. I won! Then, I went outside with Chris (my Hazmat officer friend) and some of the lieutenant supply officers, as well as Lt Commader Magiera and one other LCDR, and they all smoked cigars. I did not join in, partially because the guy offering was one short, and I don't smoke anyway. It began to drizzle and then rain after we sat down under an umbrella at a table near the Hilton outdoor bar, the Treebark Cafe, and we looked out across the bay at ...
