Not a Corona ad. We went to Guam. This is what our vacation looked like. We played in the water and sand. Patrick and I had a Corona or two. We ate at Taco Bell. We went shopping and snorkeling. It was amazing and I want to go back. It is three hours to paradise. In Spokane, it was three hours to Republic. That may be paradise. But, I like this white sand beach a little bit more than our beach on the Ketttle River. Just a little bit.
Miyo quickly learned how to snorkel. She went out to the reef with Patrick quite a few times. I got a little freaked out by an aggressive trigger fish. Patrick got bit, but he did not get scared. We saw a blue starfish. And lots of sea cucumbers. They do not look like cucumbers.
We played in the sand. We had no toys with us other than what we found there. The kids just played. Patrick and I were actually able to relax and watch them. The water was pretty calm and we felt safe. I had never been to a beach like this in my whole life. It was heaven. I also learned a bit about sunscreen. SPRAY ON ONLY. We ran out on our last day there, and of course that is the day you try to squeeze the most out of. We used rub on sunscreen, drank too much beer, drank too little water, stayed in the sun too long. This means getting onto an airplane very dehydrated and with very red tourist sunburns. Totally worth it.
When Patrick was growing up, his family came here often. I hope we can come here more. I am hoping for March. It is also when my passport could use another stamp. How convenient.
Nanae at some Cheetos that cost five dollars! Then she spilled the bag, like twice. It was so great to be around people speaking English and eat some familiar foods. The funny thing is, I started to get homesick for Japan and not Spokane. I do miss Spokane. But, I really wanted to come back to our apartment and eat Japanese food. Do not worry, we brought a suitcase full of cereal and Desitin back to Japan with us. Merry Christmas!
