We have arrived in Guam

Hello everyone. We made it Guam after a short stay(two days) in Okinawa, Japan. The 4 plane rides were good flights, but the 11 hour one was too long for the kids. We got off the plane at 0530in Guam to it raining and warm. It was quite a change from the cold 40 we left in Seattle 3 days before.

So far, every day, it rains in the morning and then turns sunny. It does get a bit warm in the afternoon for us to go walking/playing outside yet. We were able to play at the outside pool at Andersen AFB (where we will be living). Our hotel/condo is at the end of the tourist strip, a couple blocks from the beach. We have an amazing view of the bay from our balcony. We haven't been to the beach yet to play (but we did drive right up to the beach on Andersen) since we are still trying to get used to the humidity.

We did find the school, child care center and preschool. We hope to enroll the kids in school on Tuesday (since Monday is a Holiday) and get some sort of routine going.

Clint's work is about 10 minutes up the road from our condo and it's another 10 minutes to the base from there. Everything is close by. We found the traffic report here to be amusing: looks like its a 3 or 4 light kind of day. Needless to say, traffic is nothing like at Fort Lewis.

I hope to have some photos up soon. I look forward to sharing my experience with you as we spend our days here in Guam.
