Guam


We arrived home yesterday afternoon from our 4 day trip to Guam. We had such a FABULOUS time and are so glad we took the vacation.

Guam has a tropical climate all year round and the water temperature is always about 80 degrees. Needless to say we spent ample time in the water during our stay!

Here is the view of Tumon Bay from our hotel room. It was such a treat to look out each morning (and afternoon and evening!) and see the sparkling water, large coral reef and beautiful sunshine. The sunsets at night were amazing too. More Pictures from Guam

We snorkeled everyday and saw all kinds of bright tropical fish and other sea creatures. We bought some underwater cameras so we could capture all the wildlife. There were bright blue starfish, tiny hermit crabs, zebra-striped fish, bright yellow fish and even an eel eating another fish. We'll develop those cameras and post some pictures soon!

We also got the chance to go jet-skiing and parasailing while on our trip. It was a great experience and can't wait to do it again someday. We even made time for a little shopping in Guam. We went to K-Mart and got a few treats and snacks that we can't find in Korea (such as Pop-Tarts, Cheez-Its and Jello). Bob also stocked up on sandals while we were there. His feet are too big for any Korean shoes so he was happy to find some that fit!

Our trip felt like the perfect amount of time. The days were long and lazy, so it made the time go slowly and we didn't feel too rushed or disappointed when it was time to go home. We even missed Korean food and our students (a little bit!).

We also got some exciting news from back home. Bob's sister Kate and my sister Shannon booked their flights to South Korea for Christmas! They arrive on December 22nd and will stay until December 31st. We can't wait to see them and show them our new home.
