Welcome to your new home away from home! Well "furry vengeance" is playing at 3pm today on the Navy Base. You could take your son. For more listings go to: http://www.mwrguam.com/company_detail.php?keyword=movies . There is a beach on base called Dadi Beach. It is a small strip of beach- they all are here. Definitely wear flip flops for these beaches because they are rocky with shell pieces- when you get settled you can buy water shoes at the nex to protect you in the water. To get there take Marine Dr to the road that runs dirctly between the NEX and COMM (Nex on left / Comm on right), once you pass them on this short road make a right turn and Dadi will be on your left before the Barracks. It is a short winding road that heads down toward the beach and runs along the woods behind the beach. Park anywhere along that road. They are dog friendly too. Also you could take a ride down Marine Drive (the road straight out of the base) the length of the way. It literally goes straight up north to the Air Force base. Along Marine Dr is beaches; Chamorro Village- great Festival on Wednesday nights; lots of strip malls; if your turn left onto Chalan San Antonio- there is a Bank of Guam on the right corner-you will find a mall, restaurants and movie theater called GPO/ Hollywood Theater (you can get what's playing on Fandango). Chalan means "street, avenue". Across from the movie theater is a Coldstone (!!!) and a Ruby Tuesday, Chilis and Wendy's if you are looking for familiar places. That should get you started!

whats the name of the rental company on base? We have a car booked through thrifty out of the airport, for a month and it is running me 905. I would like to find something a little cheaper. Anyone know if you get reimbursed for the rental car?

There is a rental car company on base with reasonable fees. We use it when our Guam bomb has a problem. There are occasionally guam bombs avail and this site might be helpful: http://www.dragguam.com/dragboard/forumdisplay.php?f=10
Sometimes sailors are leaving and trying to sell quickly too.

Rental Cars???? Where did you rent yours from? Or do you think we would be able to find a guam bomb/boonie car for under 1500 bucks since that is what our rental car would cost.

Andrea- Pretty much anything he needs will be here for him. The tricky part is getting around once he is here to and from work, Exchange and Commissary (bike, scooter, car?) and setting up communication back home. If he brings a hat, sunscreen, light clothing, flip flops, computer/ laptop, and a hobby or two (like games, instrument, books, water sport stuff) he should be just fine.

Thanks for the tips - I'll pass them along to her. I know that so far they have shopped at the nex and at Kmart. Their kitchen supplies are still waiting to be picked up from my garage so they have been eating out a lot, but they are eating a little at home - mostly cereal I think.

Hi Tramama! I hope your kids enjoy their time here like we do. Lots of empty nice houses here in Harbor View as well. I guess I can expect to see a lot more moving trucks in the next couple months. Let your daughter know that the Commissary is all restocked on Wednesday morning here. And sometimes cold OJ is as low as 25-45 cents. lol. She might already know this but they except manufacturers coupons for a couple months past expiry too.
