Wow, Terri, you keep calling Guam a pebble, but it sure is a pretty one with lots of beautiful views. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Gulf Coast at least has a constant breeze. Here in East Texas it can be dead still for days & then wind blow like crazy. Hurricane season is here so we don't know what to expect. Enjoy your time left as you may never get there again.

We should be leaving here around March of next year. I hope and pray really hard that we do!
I'm sure there are orchids and anthuriums that may grow wild, but I'm not one that is really going into the jungle here to find out. There are snakes and wild pigs here that I really don't want to meet up with, even tho they say the pigs will run the other way.
I'm tired of islands, period! It's always hot, hot, hot here and I'm wanting change, change, change.
As to enjoy my time I have left here? Yes, I will, but coming back again....NEVER, unless there are pieces of paper with hubby name on it that says we have to come back.

It's drizzly today, so not a good day to get to the beach. Maybe it will clear up later on in the afternoon...hope so!

It is beautiful but I too would not do well there. I am practically "clear" in complexion and when we go to the beach I stay inside until nightfall. (vampire beach goer) Between the menopause and thyroid disease I can't take the heat at all.

Your pictures are always so awesome. You could be a professional photographer.

Thanks littlehud.
It's hit or miss as to how well my picturs come out.
Not professional quality at any means, but thank you for the compliment!

Girl i didn't want you to go exploring, that booger might still be waiting for you. The orchids usually grow along with the bananas. Bet there is vanilla bean orchids there. They smell so good. Hoping when y'all get shipped out you will go to a better place.

I've told them any place but HI, CA or an island! lol

I so hope you get your posting in March, I bet that it does get boaring after a while, the continual heat would get me down to. Interesting that you have wild pigs. We have them here too they call them boars here and big ugly things they are.

Oh, we have the BIG boars here too.
The other night I was on the balcony and there was a small pig running down the road...I named it...Dinner! lol

I sure hope we get what we want too, Elle!
I've told both hubby and Courtney that we have to have the house unpacked right away so I can take my trips!!! :) :)
