Thanks
Haha. Guam, at least when I was there in the '90s, was like the Hawaii of the '50s. The place is just awesome, with unspoiled beaches, killer SCUBA, jungle everywhere, and Denny's and Burger King.

It was a big player in WWII and there are numerous land-based historical remnants and many terrific shipwrecks to dive. The scenery and culture of the island and its neighbors themselves is unbelievably beautiful and rich.

It is a large vacation destination for that neck of the woods, with many nice resorts. It is a popular destination for many Japanese in particular.

I gotta say, the months I spent there diving, loving, and fighting a war were some of the best in my life.
