Happy Guam Mom's Day!!!!! It is very nice to have all of you sharing your stories and listening from home! Thanks for being there! :)
P.S. -I have only experienced the one minor tremor a couple weeks ago and the small wave swell after the Chilean quake. I have felt very safe here, especially living on base.

Happy Mother's Day.

Thanks for your ideas LivNLrn. I am looking into getting a Magic Jack. Are earthquakes common in Guam, or were those a rare event?

Wow, Jolynn what an ordeal. Glad he got here okay after all that!
Barbara, a webcam is a great gift if he has a computer/ laptop without one. A Magic Jack can be great too for saving on phone bills. When he calls home it is free. You can set it up with your home area code so when you call him it is free for you. The sailors have access to all kinds of candy at work- it is kinda ridiculous! Home items are nice, like towels, kitchen utensils (if he cooks). Another thing you can do is buy him a Kmart gift card online. It works here!!! The Kmart is HUGE.

Yes, I wrote about an earthquake tremor on my FB, but didn't even think to post here too. I thought there was a smaller one today but it was hardly noticeable. The first one shook the house for about 5 seconds- kind of like a wave.

Hi, My son is a Seabee about to deploy to Guam. Is there any thing we should know about life on Guam? If I send care packages is there something that he won't be able to find there that would be a treat? I assume that he will find most anything in the stores there that he would find in the continental U.S., is that so?
