Gingras Family Visit Part 1--Welcome and Waterfall Valley
This Christmas, Anna and I had the pleasure of hosting my family in Guam for almost 2 weeks. (I know it's now Feb and I am just posting this...)
Mom and Dad arrived into Guam on the usual Flight 1 from Hawaii. Yes, Continental Airlines has a flight one, and it's direct from Honolulu into Guam! Forunately, they arrived on the Thursday before Christmas and I had the next 4 days off.
So, we got to go on an island tour (it takes about 3 and a half hours to drive all the way around Guam), to the beach (where the waves were about 10 feet high).
Unfortunately, Mom's camera was a casualty of the ocean water (on their very last day here ... after she had taken about 500 pictures). So, we don't have many pictures from the first weekend. However, here are the pictures from a hike we went on to a place in Southern Guam called Waterfall valley.
This is a neat little valley that is chock-full of waterfalls. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.
It was a nice afternoon hike and a good introduction for my parents to the jungles of Guam.
After the long weekend, I went back to work for a few days, then, Julie and her boyfriend, Michael came to join us from their home in Los Angeles.
We celebrated Christmas twice. Once on Christmas morning and once again when Julie was with us. :-)
The next entry will have shots of the underwater life in Guam...
