Travel makes homeschooling even more exciting and special. We are going to return to our original core of TRAVEL in our homeschool this year and I cannot wait. So excited.<br /><br />Post many pics of your time in Guam. Wish I could come for a visit and a group tour.Karin Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14516662405528660516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2355574191261679830.post-81572130698499013392010-12-29T07:30:35.259-06:002010-12-29T07:30:35.259-06:00I am so happy for you about your trip, although I&...I am so happy for you about your trip, although I'm realizing there's no way you can be at BlissDom and in Guam at the same time, and that makes me sad because I'd love to see you again. :)Dawn Camphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306262189212440845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2355574191261679830.post-82844375642878386692010-12-29T07:30:33.668-06:002010-12-29T07:30:33.668-06:00Спасибо, полезный материал.

Gabriel was 6 and Hannah 4 1/2. Lots of quiet activities like books or whatever keeps your boys still for a while is a very good idea! Also, do what you can outside so you're not couped up in that one room. I'm sure with that gorgeous weather you'll have lots of opportunities for that. Can't wait to see some pictures and hear about your adventures!!KarenWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02549046490443688774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2355574191261679830.post-54698251064692692682010-12-25T14:58:47.056-06:002010-12-25T14:58:47.056-06:00Just thinking of you and praying for you today Mar...Just thinking of you and praying for you today Marsha as you are surely missing little Christian.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2355574191261679830.post-27681576606148512072010-12-22T01:40:39.633-06:002010-12-22T01:40:39.633-06:00I love traveling and adventures...so a short term ...I love traveling and adventures...so a short term excursion would be a welcome change.

I've only seen out its airport windows. :) <br /><br />I heard the other day that an invasive species of can'trememberwhat (frogs?) has eaten virtually all of the bird population on Guam. When you're there, can you verify that? It was sad to hear it could be so. <br /><br />Yes! I'd totally do it! It's so good for the kids to be in other cultures. And for only 2 months -- that's so ideal! You'll hate the hotel room after a while, probably, but home will be all the sweeter later, right?<br /><br />p.s. I remember that I had/have a FreelyEducate.com homeschool reader from Guam...if you want to know another hser there, LMK and I'll try to look her up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2355574191261679830.post-38022218823176340982010-12-21T08:58:51.012-06:002010-12-21T08:58:51.012-06:00Amen about the wise men, where do you find one wit...Amen about the wise men, where do you find one without?

If United sent us to Europe, Africa or South America, I could really go for it. But, Guam, I'll trust that David keeps flying and keeps United running and our Daddy keeps his job... somehow. I guess the bugs will be just as imposing in Guam as they are in Texas (from my limited experience in the Hill Country for a few years in grad school). Just consider the hotel room thing as a place to land at night and not spend all the day there. Instead, hike and explore. In two months you should know the place very well... and not too well. I wonder what church families are there and how this experience will grow you in your faith. Oh, and the food -- enjoyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07744950856443009111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2355574191261679830.post-90215757508667171552010-12-21T07:40:28.902-06:002010-12-21T07:40:28.902-06:00Well now, thanks to 5 boys and a princess we all n...Well now, thanks to 5 boys and a princess we all now know that you will in NO way be roughing it! hahahah! <br /><br />I could give you tips galore for traveling and living in tight quarters, have I ever mentioned that my middle name is traveler? but, as I'm crunched for time, we are moving <i>again</i> I'll wait to read what others post ;)<br /><br />much love to you, Marsha!

It is an absolute perfect opportunity for you, David and the boys. Not too long...not too short. Kind of like a looooong vacation. :) I'm sure you'll have a blast and I'm sure there will be lots of pictures. Right? Right? Right? :P Don't take too long getting that there pay as you go phone. I know how you are with skype and I can't go that long without talking to you or texting you.<br />If I had the opportunity to go to Guam for 2 months, I'd be all over it. I don't know that I could do more than that. I felt so land locked in Hawaii the one time we went. We were there for a little over 2 weeks. My most favorite part would be that I wouldn't have to cook! I hope you enjoy every millisecond of your time there.

We loved it and it was very good for us- we got married 10 days before I graduated, he flew to Guam the day I graduated, I followed in August and we had our honeymoon :)<br /><br />Tarague Beach at Anderson is great, the salt pools in Inarajan are fabulous, the best beach is at NavFac but almost impossible to get access to. Boonie Stomps with the USO are the best way to see the island. Don't be afraid of germs and eat yourselves sick (in a good way). The best lunch spot is the farmer's market in Agana. <br /><br />There is now a Chuck E Cheese, Hard Rock cafe, and Planet Hollywood. The bowling alley in Tamuning had the world's best prime rib at their mexican restaurant- I can still taste it and we left in 1991.<br /><br />Most of the hotels have kitchens in the rooms- when we went over most families were in a hotel for 90 days then went into base housing. They made enough money to buy appliances and huge stereos. Ryan spent 2 months in the barracks and moved into housing the day before I arrived. We had 10 days as we left and had a full kitchen.5 Boys and a Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04278610731249164969noreply@blogger.com
