Guam Island, Outside the Resort

Today we decided to rent a car and cruise the Island a little. Very good choice as it gave us an entirely different perspective of the island and the people who live here. Very intresting and scenic.

More Guam

As we have mostly spent our days lounging at the resort, we don't have many pics of note to post. We have enjoyed some nice sunsets, some shopping, and eating at the many American restaurant's around town. There are a lot of historical WWII sights to see but we're not sure if we'll make it out to see them. We have found that Guam heavily caters to the Japanese tourist which makes up about 80% of their business outside of the US military. The Japanese come here to shop for low cost foreign goods at several high end and outlet malls. While we will take advantage and pick up a few essentials to take back to Japan, shopping is not what we really are up for so we are mainly sticking to the resort for some relaxation.

Guam 2007 Day 1

Arrived after a nice flight, and the Island and water is beautiful. The Marriott is not 5 star by any means but it will work well for our needs. For the first few days as it is the off season we pretty much have it to ourselves. The weather is calling for sun and a mix of spotty rains for the next few days but the temps are averaging high 80s low 90s, so I think we will survive. If it rains we will seek refuge at the tiki hut and have a Lite beer, and if its sunny, we will probably seek refuge at the tiki hut and have a Lite beer.
