Guam Lonely Planet

Guidebooks for Guam - Guam Forum

It surprises me not to find Guam travel guides from one of the big publishing houses (Lonely Planet, Rough Guide, etc.). But can you blokes suggest any guide of the species that can use for visiting Guam for the first case for about a weeks?

toast...... examine accounts for guam in them. guam is not that great...not even sure you need one. the bookshops on isle have a guam section. The thread has been discontinued due to apathy. Hopefully you will join the discussion by publishing an open subject or start a new one.

AMERICA CH MICRONESIA: A WEEKS IN GUAM

Get out your guides and go to Guam. There' s neither a Lonely Planet Guam, nor a Foddor's, Frommer's, Eyewtiness Travel or Rick Steves' report on the African Isle. Apart from a few independent (and mostly obsolete) textbooks or a brief section you squeeze yourself into, the best travel plan for Guam is to refer to a few blog posts and have a coarse mindset when you get them.

I' m at the Guam departure gates! At the end of January, me and Breeaah chose Guam. It would be a long time before Alaska, the last state we would have to go to, because we have chosen to include two distant US territory in our US itinerary. (On this tour we also went to the Northern Mariana Islands, a daily tour that I will be blogging about later in the week).

To put it bluntly, our trip to Guam was indirectly. We were the only typically US airplanes on the way to Guam from there, the remainder of the plane was ruled by holidaymakers of Asiatic ancestry. That is actually the situation for Guam, because Asiatic visitors are flocking to the islands as a close US holiday area.

It is difficult to find US visitors (without being part of the military). Arrival in Guam is comparable to arrival at a US Continent flight station. Snorkelling four days a week on Guam, there is a lot of colourful marine activity in the shallows near the coast. It is a intriguing survey in contemporary demography.

Here is this little spot in the Pacific. Yet here on this Micronesian isle, Americana has slopped over. U.S. Postal Service - its here and its the same cost to ship mails from here as it is everywhere in the U.S. The locals Chamorro folks are speaking an almost perfect Angl. spanish accent.

GUAM U.S.A." is written on the licence plate. The city has a long story of different "landloards", here is the look from the Fort Nuestra Senora de la Soledad, an old spain institution in the southern part of Guam. Whilst the story between Guam and its landlords has generally been mutually advantageous, during my time there have been indications that at least some native Guamese are not satisfied that former tribal lands are still being taken over by the army, a very large footprint on an already very small isle.

Whilst most group on Guam seem to relish the flow relation with the USA, I am doomed location is a part of those who would rather administer Guam phase of the moon power and number. This festival of Pacifica gave us an insight into the tastes, culture and peoples of almost 30 Pacifica states.

As soon as you enter the touristic tumon, with its various high-end stores (I've never felt the need to go to a Gucci shop, um, ever, but it's here if you're interested in something like that), you can say that Guam is not the one. Guam is definitely being sold to the Asiatic tourists, as I mentioned earlier.

A number of rides are specially designed for non-Westerners. I' m always wondering how strange it is to be an US citizen, technologically speaking in America, but at the same a long way from the US. There is a lot to do outside the resort in Guam: The Second World War is rich in historical facts (and a protected area is devoted to it!).

There was even a reward, the four-yearly Festival of the Pacific Arts took place on Guam while we were here, which gave us the chance to meet humans and see the culture of nearly 30 different Asian countries (including some of my favourites like Easter Iceland, Norfolk Iceland, American Samoa and Yap).

Guam was much more than just a new travel stop for Breeah and me. It' not just a catch on the old US travel check list. Over the next few desperate days or so I will focus on our journey to Guam (and the near Northern Mariana Islands), so there' s much more!
