Iwent over there this past March. It was great.Stayed on the Big Navy Base. Went to see my Daughter and son-n-law.1 st granddaughter was born there. Coolest it gets 70's. Summer time all year. A huge K-mart( alittle pricy). Laid back. Speed limit like 35 mph.Alot of beaches to visit.It's U.S. territory so lots of american things do exist.Gas is more expensive.If you get the chance to go over there while your Sailor is there,then go. There is long hrs. of flying but it is experience you will alway treasure.My daughters Mom-n-law and sister-n-law just got back. They loved it.

My son has been in Guam since March & says that anything he needs is available there. I do try to send packages once a month or so. I send DVD's, shirts' shorts, certain candy that I know he likes, & local products that he can't get over there. If I'm shopping w/ my daughter & it's hard not to pick him up something too. It's a hard habit to break. LOL!!He just turned 19 in July & I sent him money. He was funny & told me that I "didn't need to that that because he has a job now & can pay for his own things". I told him "too bad, that he will always be my son & I will always give him something on his birthday". I am very fortunate to Skype w/him 1-2 x's a week & we talk @ least 3-4 x's a week. He has been very good about staying in touch w/us & his grandmothers. Thank God for Skype & Facebook!! It was really hard on me when he left last Aug. because he had just graduated & just turned 18, & he is my oldest & the first one to leave. It's just hard to believe that he's grown up so much in the last year. Navy4Moms has been a huge help! Thank you all!!

honestly, you can get pretty much anything you will need or want on Guam. We have been here a year and have not needed anything we could not find on island.
