Guam in the Fall

Guam in the Fall means it's still the Rainy Season!

Guam in the Fall means sitting outside when it isn't raining.  It means eating sushi made by sushi chefs who know what they're doing.  It means green and orange coconuts [the colors of fall in the western pacific]  It means continuing warm tropical breezes.  It means reviewing typhoon readiness plans to be ready for the typhoon that can develop very quickly with little warning.  It means wondering if you'll be able to take a walk without getting rained on.  

Guam in the Fall means you still have to watch out for Boonie Bees.  It means making sure you have a  supply of wasp freeze on hand, and ant-killer for those pesky creatures that decide all or part of your home is their home-away-from-home when the monsoon rains flood them out.

Guam in the Fall means it's time for the coconut trees to be trimmed.  It means painting those fallen coconuts   to look like ghosts, pumpkins, bats, or whatever, just in time for Halloween [yikes! I'm behind painting last year's extra coconuts!].

It means buying tons of candy early and often to get ready for the mounds of kids that will come 'round on All Hallow's Eve.  We're going to need more candy...

This may be getting close...

The last and smallest candy display.  Don't forget to get more while waiting in line for Check-Out.

Guam in the Fall means the children are back in school and the holiday season is on a collision course with the calendar.  It means going to the orthodontist's office, bask in the haunting spirit of Halloween, and then immediately go to Macy's and bask in the jolly spirit of...Christmas??  Wait.  What?

Guam in the Fall means dressing up for military balls and dressing down for the beach.
