The Arrival

After 21 hours in the air, we finally landed on Guam Tuesday night (they are ahead of the East Coast by 27 hours.) In addition to our hosts and hostess, Tom and Mimi Santos, being there to geet us, Lupe had organized a group of Ann's school classmates from Agana Junior High and from mine, Adelupe Pt Elementary School to be there as a welcoming committee. They greeted us with beautiful leis. It was awesome to see and recognize people from 55 years ago! As much as we hated to bring the evening to a close, we felt the need for sleep, so we said farewells for now...but we'll be getting together again.
Our room at The Jungle B&B was just as we had remembered it from our stay there two years ago. The beds felt wonderful, and we settled down for a needed and welcomed night's sleep.
The plan for today is to meet the Governor this afternoon, and to attend the Chamorro Village festivities tonight where there will be island music, island food, and island fun.
