Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving. Tom and I had a nice Thanskgiving dinner at a coworker's house yesterday. We are headed out for a day of jet skiing and swimming at the beach with friends today. I hope you are all having a nice holiday, and hopefully enjoying a four day weekend.

Rota and Coconuts

Our trip to Rota was a big success. We had two full days of relaxation (there is not much to do in Rota but relax). Here is the Coconut Village Resort.

Our cute cabins...

We rode bikes to the simming hole. Here is Marcy and I on the beach cruisers, followed by a shot of the swimming hole...

We also had a sunset picnic of Champagne and cheese at the Bird Sanctuary.

This is the fishing cliff.

We also drove around a mostly abandoned part of the island, visited the Taga Cave and spent an entire day lazing on the beach and playing Scrabble. Yup, we are crazy vacationers!

Amy's Favorite Places

In celebration of Marcy's long journey to Guam we have been adventuring around Guam. I am in people shock after living by myself for the past few months, having not just one, but two people in the house is a real treat. Tom was feeling sick early in the week, but he has just about kicked it and is feeling much better.

Lucky for us, Marcy arrived on Monday night and we had Tuesday off from work for Veteran's Day. We took her on a drive around the rather lovely southern side of the island. Here are a couple of pics for Fort Soledad.

Yesterday we went to my absolute favorite place on the island, Talofofo Caves. I have been there a few times and I LOVE it. I found a "new" cave yesterday (new to me). That one involved crawling on our bellies to get through the small opening at the beginning. The reward was a beautiful view on the cliff side.

Unfortunately, we had to go back out the way we got through, because even though the cave did come out to daylight on the cliffside, there was nowhere to go from there. You can see how thrilled Marcy was with this...

Actually, Marcy liked the caves too.

Today we had a picnic at Ritidian Point, which is my favorite beach on the island. After the beach we stopped in Tumon for gellato and a trip to the Underwater World aquarium.

Tomorrow we are flying to Rota for two nights so Marcy can see more of the Marianas. Rota is a pretty little island with nothing to do but relax.

There are more pictures from the visit on Flickr.

Here is one more of Tom from our kayaking trip a couple weekends ago...

And one of the two of us...

Visitor Update

Sorry for the lack of blogging.  We have been doing a lot of stuff lately and Marcy is here to visit!  She came on Monday night and will be here until next week.  I have pictures from our kayak trip two weekends ago to add to the blog.  More to come soon..
