WE MADE IT!!!

All of our planes were running on time and we made every connection without a problem.  On top of that in Tokyo they called us to the desk to give us seats closer to the front with more leg room and so we could sit next to each other.  (As a side note to that I thought of Joani and dericious, because the lady greeted me and said hello Mrs. Rathbury.)  When we arrived at the Guam airport we got all of our bags and made our way through customs without any problems.  On the other side 3 people from Greg's new flight (I think flight is the right grouping) they gave us leis and greeted us.  The first person I was introduced to was named Michelle.  I looked at her and said I can remember that that is my sister's name.  She said I think I will remember yours because my sister's name is Beth.  Hahaha!  They packed our bags into one of the cars and took us to the inn on base.  This is when it became more fun.

We arrived at the check in at the inn.  We had a house on base reserved for the first 30 days.  We went in and they looked us up and had booked someone else in that house.  But one computer said there were people in it and another didn't.  So we took a drive to see if there was anyone there.  There was.  We went back and the guy called every hotel on the island to see if they at least had something for the night.  Everything was full.  We were getting bored and were watching the tv in the lobby that had the Fast and Furious and decided to get the computers out.  At this point the guy decided to go drive and see if it looked like any of the houses were available.  So like a creeper the man walked around the house didn't see any lights and finally went in.  Turns out that house was available.  We were able to go to the house.  At 2am we finally got to go to bed.  (Reminder we are 14 hours ahead of you here). 

I have not gone on my walk yet but just looking out the window here at the house I can see a gorgeous view of trees and in the far distance the ocean.  I am excited about looking at houses and finding a good house, hopefully with a nice view and plenty of room for visitors.  I am excited to be here and cannot wait to see how things turn out.
