Regina, do you have a layover in Hawaii?
I will wait till you get home to have a get-together. End of April? Mid-May?
All checked to go visit my son and his beautiful wife, we leave in the morning!
There should be a Navy Lodge for "not as expensive as tourist" lodging. Please share your experience as we hope to go there this year.
Yup it is hot, Our sons brother is planning on going this summer. They are planning on scuba diving. That is not for me. I will snorkel in not so deep water. I also want to look at all the historical places.
I am going to have to depend on you for info. I know quite a bit about Hawaii, not Guam. My son has been there a couple weeks.His car arrived and his belongings arrived just before he flew there. I hear the diving is great.
Oh yeah sticker shock, 1350-1500 from Michigan. 80 degrees there, 13 here with windchill below zero!!! Last week my son was still here and him and his dad went golfing...it was 40 degrees then.... and he does have an extra bedroom!!!!I need a day a week job...don't know when I would have time for a job...I am newly retired and my time filled in....well I was only working part time.....
middlemom - beware of sticker shock on the plane tickets to fly there. It is a long flight! I haven't gone yet but plan to before my son leaves the island.
hello ladies..my son made it to Guam and is loving it. I am so jealous. He sent me some pictures of the ocean and its gorgeous. He can't wait to go to the beach and hang out, plus he send me a picture of a mountain that he wants to hike.
Im ready to plan a vacation to Guam.
