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 ...

... red tube that alerts the boat of your position. Both dives had AMAZING visibility and were really enjoyable. <br> The first one at "Blue and White" was new ground but I just saw a lot of the same colorful fish you see everywhere in Guam so nothing too crazy or exciting there. It was just nice and relaxing and there were lots of fish to see. Our second dive at Vecky's Reef was a little more interesting.. We found a lionfish hiding under a rock, saw several crabs that ...

... to be late. Long story short she ran the stop and I ended up wrecking my bike and spraining both wrists with a minor growth plate fracture on my right hand.. So needless to say the Scuba Diving this weekend was a No Go. I did manage to make it off base once to go down to the navy base and got some pictures off of Two Lover's Point over the city of Tumon. Here's some history of the place hen Spain ruled Guam a proud family lived in Agana, the capital city. The ...

We slumbered too late and had requested a late checkout, so by the time we got to eat, our breakfast was verging on lunch anyway. We chose to go to Kings, a restaurant made famous in Hawaii but given a Guamanian twist as the menu features traditional Chamorran dishes, a cuisine native to the indigenous peoples of Guam. The casual restaurant was decorated with various artefacts such as native tools used by the Chamorran people, and had plastic screens of ...

After a long 12 hour flight from Los Angeles we have landed in Guam for a quick refueling stop before completing our journey to Manila. So far I've watched "Enchanted" and "Bee Movie" both are quite funny but I found "Enchanted" to be more to my liking. My butt is somewhat numb but all in all I'm doing fairly well. Next stop, Manila!

Due to flight schedules I had a day to kill in Guam. I arrived looking a little worse for the wear from my dog bite, it was a good conversation starter though! I wasn't really looking forward to seeing the biggest K-Mart in the world, but under the circumstances it came in quite handy to restock my first aid kit with band-aids. In the main town here it is a lot like ...

... Visited a park where a Japanese soldier lived hidden for 28 years after WWII ended. When he was found, he was nearly killed out of revenge - animosity toward the Japanese soldiers by the Chamarros still existed up until that time in 1972. It has been a long, tiring, and fascinating trip. Thanks for allowing me to share things with you. Please let me know if you have any questions as I know I'm ending rather abruptly now. Kristen

... lights of other hotels and businesses, taking in the beautiful view. I had a margarita- it wasn't as good as those in Texas, but still ok- and then headed into Tumon (the main shopping/gentlemen's club area in Guam) with Chris, John (the LTJG I relieved) and the Industrial Hygiene Officer, William, a big Puerto Rican guy with a thick, difficult-to-understand accent. We hung out for a while, ran into some of my sailors while out on the town, and decided finally to call it ...
