Guam – Where America’s Day Begins

We went to Guam (less than 4 hours by plane from Tokyo) for a 4 day weekend to get out of the cold and enjoy some r&r in basically the good ol’ U.S. of A.   We stayed in the touristy part of the island but rented a car so that we could check out the rest of the place.  On our drive around the island we found a beautiful natural swimming pool right next to the ocean.

The whole island is duty free, too, so we did some shopping as well.  We did some snorkeling from the beach at our hotel.

This not a lump of poo – that is a sea cucumber and there were so many at the bottom.

We also drove to a beautiful beach on the north side of the island where we saw fewer than a handful of people the whole time we were there.

We watched three movies and checked out a local bar with live music.  The Chamorro food was yummy.  And we thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Guam – Where America’s Day Begins!
