Guam is a lot like Maui! Lots of Shakas from the Chamorros (the indigenous peeps), loco mocos on all the breakfast menus, amazing ocean vistas, and a great deal of friendliness and Aloha to go around. The big differences from Maui: water buffalo, 17th century Spanish forts, and the fact that it only takes about 90 minutes to drive around the whole island (Guam is just one third the size of Maui, but has the same population). Thank you to submarine captain/engineer and tour guide extraordinaire Monroe for showing us the entire island in half a day, and mahalo to Connie for putting us up for three nights. Next stop….. South Vietnam.

PS – Air conditioning is the eternal season in Guam, so bring a long sleeve shirt for the restaurants and malls, whether it’s January or July. Brrrrrrrrr
