Well, if you’ve gotten this far, you know we are going to Guam. We have had this trip planned since last February, as soon as we could book the flights with our frequent flyer miles.
Why Guam? I was born on Guam, my dad was in the Navy, and we lived there until I was 1.5 years old. Obviously I don’t remember anything but I have always wanted to go back to visit. My dad promised me a trip back when I graduated high school if I had a 4.0. That didn’t happen so he promised me a trip back when I graduated from college with a 4.0, which didn’t happen either. So when Rick asked where we should go with all of our (his) frequent flyer miles, Guam was the obvious choice, for me anyway.
Where is Guam? For us it’s a 13 hour flight to Tokyo, a four hour layover in Tokyo, and another four hour flight to Guam. But if you want to know on a map….click here. We will be there for 8 full days and if you want to know what there is to do on Guam…click here.
My parents are both coming which will be fun, I think/hope. My dad can entertain Rick and my mom & I can entertain Mallory (or rather she will entertain us). The hotel has a “paddling pool” which I hope is something like the pool in Orlando so that Mallory can play all day and sleep all night.
