Inarajan Village

The little travelers...Bennett LOVED the moving sidewalk in the Tokyo airport. If we put him down for a second, he would run over to it. Chris must have walked up and down with him on it about 20 times. Here he is trying to walk the wrong way, against the flow.

Little traveler #2. I got Austin this new backpack for the trip...so we could fit more carry on stuff with us and because he loved it. It is a Spiderman backpack, though he insists on calling it his suitcase, not his backpack. He also insisted on walking through all the airports pulling it, instead of riding in the stroller. A few times we had to force him to ride to be on time, since he is NOT a fast walker. We told him he was easily distracted, so now he often asks "What does it mean to be distracted?".

Here we are in Guam. Our travel went fairly well...as well as international travel can go with a 3 year old and one year old. Both boys did pretty well. Our first flight started off a little rough. Bennett was shrieking with delight running up and down the plane aisles before we took off and tripped and cut his lip. It was a very small cut, but lips tend to bleed a lot. I was thinking "We haven't even taken off and we are bleeding". However, it went pretty well after that. When we landed in Guam, one of our bags did not land with us. It was a bummer, since Bennett's tent was in that bag. But the owner of the house (who lives 2 miles down the road) had a pack and play and lent it to us. We got our bag the next day.

We are in the south part of the island, in a local village of the Chamorro people. It is kind of a wierd mix of very nice island and somewhat run-down/almost redneck looking yards. Lots of old cars in yards and dogs and chickens running around. Bennett loves roosters and says "caaa...doo" every time he sees one.

The beach is amazing. We drive 2 miles to our leaser's house, park in the drive way and walk across the street to an almost completely private stretch of beach...white sand, blue water and very shallow. It is great for the boys. Bennett ate about 10 handfuls of sand the first day, but seemed to be getting the picture today- it was only a handful or two.

Well, that's it for now. Chris and are want to be more technology free this trip, so I may not post again for awhile. Trying to read books!
