Arrival in Guam - New Apartment, New Car, New Job, Whoa.

Hello friends & family:)  This is our first post from Guam and we have already done so much!

We spent the first week just running around setting up our new life here.  We found an amazing apartment complex on the beach.  It was partially furnished & included all utilities, which made things a lot easier for us.

It came equipped with a beautiful view & sunset!  I can't believe this is our backyard...

Next on the agenda, was to obtain some form of transportation.  After debating between pogo sticks, segways, or leasing a vehicle--we decided that actually buying a car was the way to go.   This island is a lot bigger than we at first imagined it to be.  

We got a good deal on a used Jeep Liberty, as Alex used his negotiation skills to talk the price down.  (Univ of I business skills coming into play here--thanks Dad!)

Then we immediately went and bought a bed!  The bed was tied so tight to the top, we decided we might have to sleep up there tonight...

Among all of the running around town, Alex had started his pharmacist job at Kmart right away.  It may seem like a normal Kmart at first glance, but it is one of the busiest in the world!  It's open 24/7 and is always full of people!

The picture below was taken inside of Kmart at 9:00pm on a Wednesday night.  Wow!!!  You would never know that there is a slow-paced island life taking place right outside of these walls... Hopefully that just means Alex's work days will fly by, right??

And Kmart has a special section for Spam.  Don't worry there is plenty of Island flavor for everyone!

Stay tuned for the next Alex and Sarah V adventure!
