February 22, 2010 Guam
From New York to Guam we’ve traveled 19484.8 & it’s day 49.
Money is US Dollar.
Yesterday we attended a lecture by Dr. George McGavin on “To the ends of the Earth: biological exploration and discovery” followed by the film “The lost land of the volcano”. This film was very interesting and will or was on the Discovery channel. His first lecture was on bugs and his second was on poo. Believe it or not the lectures were funny, informative, and interesting. I missed his other presentations.
We woke up before 6, got ready, and stood in a long line to go through immigration. We were lucky as before the queue started to move the queue was 3 to 4 times longer much like L. A. last year.
We took the 40-minute shuttle ride to a Hyatt Hotel. From there we enjoyed the “Under Water World” aquarium and then to the Hard Rock Café & purchase the last guitar pin this trip. We just walked & looked around until we found a K-Mart to purchase a few items. We returned to the Hyatt where there are several pools. We worked our way to the beach. Guam is pretty & nice place, but once is enough.
After tomorrow the cruise will half over.
We’ll arrive in Rabaul about 8:30A.M. Thursday (6:30 P.M EDT Friday).
The internet was down again the first the three times I tried to update the blog.
