We spent the afternoon today driving around the sounthern part of the island, exploring different beaches and coves, hoping to find a good place we might return to later in the week for some good wave action. It was a relaxing change of pace after yesterday’s marathon day at the beach, and we are heading downstairs now to check out the New Year’s fireworks display from our in-laws’ ocean-facing hotel room window. Happy new year to to you all!!!!

About this time last year we sat huddled under the warmth of the family kotatsu in Kumamoto and talked about how nice it would be to be sitting on a beach somewhere instead of freezing here in Japan. By June we had firm plans and hotel reservations, and now here we are in tropical Guam, enjoying the sun, surf and a refreshing break from Tokyo’s Winter chill.
We spent a full day at the beach on Tumon Bay, swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking around the wide expanse of shallow water that forms this popular tourist area not far from our hotel.
We’re off today to explore the other side of the island by car and see if we can find a beach with good body-boarding potential. The girls have been a handful and I can’t say Rie and I have “relaxed” much at all in the three days we’ve been here, but we’re making the best of it with the help of the in-laws and looking forward to another week in paradise…
