On this our last day on Guam, Ann met with her friend from Guam Community College, Eric Chung, and an advisor and students from Phi Theta Kappa(honorary society; she is the advisor at BRCC). While they were meeting at Shirley's (a local restaurant), Mimi and I strolled among the lovely plants at a nursery. We picked out many specimens that we would like to have. (Mimi already has wondrous things in her backyard "jungle.")
Soon after that Tom, Mimi, Opal Jaquette (their friend and house guest), Ann, and I went to Asan Beach (where the Marines landed to liberate the island from the Japanese in WWII) to participate in a family gathering of my former classmate, Joe Mendiola. What a welcoming family! We enjoyed delicious island cuisine and much fun and fellowship. Joe has a delightful family (wife, sons, daughters and 20-some grands), and we appreciate being included in their festivities.
We came back home and packed our bags so that we could check them in at the airport tonight to expedite our departure tomorrow morning (Feb. 14). We'll be on Continental flight CO2, leaving at 6:40 and arriving in Honolulu at 5:50 pm on Feb. 13. (Isn't the International Dateline something!)
We have had a fabulous time on Guam and can only hope that Tom and Mimi and Lupe and others we have met will visit us in Virginia one day.
Adios for now!
