I'm not with CAL but I do have a little experience with Guam from the military. It's not as 3rd world as you might think. The wx is basically constant year round. Think Hawaii and then add 5-10 degrees.

Japanese who can't afford to vacation in Hawaii go to Guam. There's plenty of resort areas and nice restaurants. Lots of Japanese tourist paying premium prices.

Beaches not so great as much of the shoreline is rocky cliff. The resort areas have nice beaches but I don't remember much in the way of surf. I don't claim to have made a huge survey of the beaches though.

No birds, the snakes killed them all...no joke. Don't venture off into the jungle areas or you end up like the birds.

Some of the best scuba in the Pacific is right off the beaches.

Supposedly it's one of the most hurricane prone places on the planet, but since they build everything there like pill-boxes it's just "one of those things".

People I know who were stationed at Anderson loved it. Not sure how it would be without the military social safety net.
