Our last day in Guam was spent mostly for swimming. The kids don’t really get tired of enjoying the water. Although, I don’t enjoy much of the heat, of course, anything for them so Dicky and I headed out to the pool as well after our buffet breakfast in the hotel.
The kids can’t get enough of swimming in the pool. Thanks to the floaters I brought. It made our lives easier ;p
Looking at my picture above, makes me think to do some lipozene reviews. Would it be effective on me? lol!
We took an afternoon nap and while the kids were sleeping, Dicky and I took the chance to take our snapshots by our room’s veranda…
I already packed our suitcases so as the balikbayan box we were bringing home as we had an early morning flight the following day. We went to Pleasure Island to have a stroll and take our dinner as well.
We slept early that night as our flight back to Manila was at 4am. It was indeed a happy vacation with the family! I look forward to more of these travels with the husband and the kids.
We rented a self-driven car on our 3rd day. We got it for only $45 for 24-hour rental! Yeah, cheap! We enjoyed the day just hopping from one mall to the other. Our first destination was Guam Premier Outlets. It wasn’t that big and not too many stores to really enjoy but got really nice stuff from Nine West, BCBG and Ross. We ended up getting a small balikbayan box on our way back to Manila since I hoarded about 5 sets of bedsheets. I was very happy to have found nice bedsheet sets in Guam for our King Size bed, which were only from $16-25, for a 4-pc set. What I like most is that these sheets are at 300 thread count and can even accommodate a 17″ mattress. I usually find it hard to get nice sheets here since we pretty have a think mattress and most of the local manufacturers can only accommodate up to 8″. I even got a 450 thread count for just $25. Those were really steal.
The kids were very cooperative during our stay in Guam. As they say, it’s getting easier each trip. Thank goodness, they can be coached on what to do. I thought I would even need those wrinkle creams to battle my stress during the trip. But no, I didn’t need any since I also don’t want to fall prey on those creams that claim 100% benefit. I would have wanted to check also on youthology scam before buying any.
We also went to Micronesia Mall, Tumon Sands, Tumon Plaza and K-Mart. We also went to Two Lover’s Point, the highest point in the island of Guam. We had nice pictures from here. We went back to our hotel almost 10pm already. (yes, sinulit ang car rental). We just ate in one of the restaurants in Micronesia Mall which I actually forgot already.
All of us were literally dead tired for the whole day so we just capped the night easily.
I know this has been a long overdue post about our trip to Guam last November. Nevertheless, here it is…
It was our first time in Guam. Thanks to Mabuhay Miles promo again last year that we were able to claim 3 roundtrip tickets to Guam. Actually thanks to HSBC Mabuhay Miles credit card. It was so worth it to spend using that credit card. Proof? Our HK trip last September for the whole family were all miles redeemed so as this trip to Guam. We only got a paying ticket for Bianca.
We decided to choose this island for our destination last november. We didn’t regret it. We had a great time. It was family bonding again. And as me and Dicky who took care of the kids for 4 days, i didn’t need any of those ephedra diet pills since I pretty lose about 5lbs in that quick span of time 
We left Manila for late flight of 10pm. We were in the airport by 7pm. Again, since it’s Philippine Airlines, it was just a breeze in check-in counters. Guam is ahead of Manila’s time for 2 hours. It was just a quick 4hour flight so we technically arrived Guam at 4am. Upon landing in Guam International Airport, we went straight to the taxi bay to get our ride to Westin Hotel. Our driver was Filipino so we felt at ease. Our room in Westin were already reserved the day before so we were allowed to check-in right away. We were happy with the size of the room. A typical deluxe room for a 5-star hotel. There’s a veranda overlooking the beach and the whole stretch of Tumon Sands. We decided to rest and sleep first before we made our first day adventures.
The next day, we woke up almost 1030am already. We decided to go out and check out Tumon Sands Plaza and DFS Galleria. (yes, shopping right away ;P). Since it was close to lunch time, we took our brunch in Outrigger Hotel. We went to the Underwater World within Tumon Sands Plaza. The place is pretty small. Manila Ocean Park is actually bigger than this. Nevertheless, we still want the kids to see it. Afterwards, we went back to our hotel after strolling around the nearby mall and going to DFS Galleria. We changed to our swimming attires and we were off to the beach afterwards.
Westin Hotel is beachfront. Guam beach is beautiful. They kids didn’t want to stay in the sands so we let them stay in the pool instead. But we also tried the kayak and then we stayed in the pool area until sunset.
We went back to our hotel room almost 7pm already. We cleaned up the kids and they were snoozing as early as 8pm. Dicky just grabbed a take-out food from a nearby restaurant. We were both tired as well so we just ended the night early.
Day 2 coming up…
Some of our pictures from Day 1…
It’s already mid-February and it’s been hot already on our part of this world. I am hoping to hit the beach this summer with the whole family. Need to get a quick weight loss for me and the husband so we can be back to shape before this trip. Still no final plans yet but we are looking to bring the kids to those nice resorts in the south. I just hope the husband can find time to take a leave from work 
It is indeed a very good Sunday as we celebrate “Lunar New Year” and Valentine’s Day at the same time for this year 2010. Going out for lunch with the family as we celebrate these two occasions and would also head out to buy those chinese amulets to guard us for the whole year through. We are a believer of feng shui but we only choose those appropriate. Aside from that, we also plan to get those hgh supplements as well as freshly brewed tea from our favorite chinese store. Enjoy the rest of the day everyone!
