Obon vaca in Guam, complete.

Vaca to Guam - check.  Was it beautiful?  Yes.  Would I go there again?  Most likely not.

You may or may not know that Guam has been under many powers, and most recently, it is an island of United States property.  It proudly boasts, "where America's day begins."  So vacationing in Guam 1.5months after moving to Japan had its benefits.  Lets just say we stuffed our faces with meeeeeaaat, drove on the *right* side of the road, and spoke Eeeeeenglish, hallelujah! 

Our trip mostly consisted of eating...
Chicken skewers w/ a peanut-y sauce @ Proa...nom nom nom

and drinking...
"Oh ma gah they have FAT TIRE!!  No more of the same ol same ol Japanese beer!!"

and eating...
Trio Fish platter @ Roy's...presentation - check.  Taste - eh.

and drinking...
Kona coffee via science experiment?  Intriguing...

and eating...
Taco Bell?  Yes please!  We haven't seen one of these since we left the States!

and drinking...
Taste testing Guam beer in the utter heat (my camera fogged up!).  The taste was just eh.

and eating...
The famous burger at Jeff's Pirates Cove...with a PILE of fries - come to mama!!

Oh, and we *did* do some touristy things too :)
Our lovely beach:
Our view from our "Ocean View" room

The hubs jumping for joy

The famous Two Lovers Point:
The place where two lovers tied their hair together and jumped off and committed suicide...Gloomy, yes, but the view was fantastic!

War memorials:
Guam had been handed over from Spain to the US to Japan, back to the US...crazy history.

Talofofo Falls:
One of the famous waterfalls in Guam.  But if you ask me, not worth the $20 entrance fee.

Local Village party:
Dancing their tooshies off.  Fantabulous.

Posing w/ Miss Guam.  Hmm, the hubs lookin' a bit *too* happy, huh?

Yummy local bbq goodness.
 
Gettin' buddy-buddy w/ the local animals
I swear we were best buds

And even secret hideouts informed to us by the receptionist:
The hubs didn't care about the pouring rain, he's all about "gettin' the pic!"

After 4 mornings of waking up to a beautiful view of the Philippine Sea, I'm a tad darker and a handful of lbs heavier.  All in all, a good vaca, but I'm glad to be back "home."
