The JimAnna Chronicles

Well, this afternoon, in a matter of three hours, Anna and I conquered the tallest mountain in the world at a staggering height of just over 37,000 feet. Do you know what its name is?? No, it’s not Mt Everest, nor Mt Kilimanjaro. It’s called Mt Lam Lam. OK, so only 1,331 feet are above [...]

Hi, well this weekend, we braved the jungle of Guam again. We went again with a group of CGOs. This time there were 12 in our party. I offered to take the group on another hike, this time in search of one of the pretty waterfalls around the interior of Guam. However, my caveat was [...]

Well, we decided to go for another hike this past weekend. So, we offered to all the Company Grade Officers (CGOs … this is what the Air Force calls its junior officers in the ranks of lieutenant and captain) that we would take everyone down to the Double Reef Beach. So, our weekend started out [...]

This weekend has mostly been about spending time with each other (since Anna and I were apart for entirely too long). However, what weekend would be complete without a little adventure. So, we talked our friends Mark and Samantha into going hiking with us. We decided to go on a medium difficulty hike. Our choice [...]

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 [...]

One of my other extracurricular activities if you will is that I am a member of the company grade officer’s council on Andersen. Also, I am the VP who is responsible for setting up social events for all the junior officers (aka company grade). So, over the Thanksgiving weekend, we decided to use the day [...]

Well, last weekend, the day before a duathlon, we decided to venture into the jungles of Guam yet again. It was our friend Kevin’s last weekend on the island, so we wanted to go with him somewhere fun. Charles and Stephanie accompanied with us on this adventure as well. It was quite a fun adventure [...]

Well, this afternoon, we decided that it had been entirely too long since we last ventured into the jungles of Guam. So, Anna and I, along with our neighbor and good friend, Mark Koeppen, set off on another hike (also known as a Boonie Stomp here on Guam). Here we are ready to leave the [...]

Most people see the rugged cliffs of Northern Guam and appreciate the beauty of it. Today, we found another way to appreciate it; jump off the 66′ledge into the crystal blue water. It was a new experience for both Anna and I. We’d jumped off high rocks into rivers, but nothing quite like this. After [...]

Our hike today was to a remote beach named Double Reef. This is on one of the many Navy properties. It’s secluded, pristine and as you can see, rather beautiful. Our hike included a few Air Force friends of ours: Kevin Mares, Romeo Miranda and Paul Hughey. Our goal for the day was find a [...]
