With these two jobs I'm working, I'be been doing a bit of commuting. The internet job, Gamenet, is just down the street from Jakobe's I usually walk. But to get to the UnderWater World in Tumon it takes me about an hour. Wow! An hour, but the internet says Guam is only 30 miles long at it's longest! Do you ride around in a big loop around the island, then go to work? Well, I bike to work. I've ridden the route three times now. On the first day of work I got rained on! I was soaked head to toe, well not toe, my GoreTex lined NorthFace shoes kept my feet dry! They still do when I'm working at UnderWater world, shielded from water, bleach, fish guts, you name it my toes are dry as a bone! I think It's about 10 miles to Tumon where UnderWater World is located. It shouldn't take me an hour, but my best is 45 minutes. The hills are bigger than I'm used to coming from biking in MS! The hills aren't all that bad, but with a 25 knot head wind AND a killer hill it's tough. It seems like every way I turn on this tropical paradise I'm biking directly into the wind!!
So there you have it, I wake up at 6:30am, leave the house by 7am for work at 8am. Then I leave UWW at 4:00pm, bike home to be at the internet cafe for 6:00pm. Midnight I sleep then do it all over again!
I can't complain though, I'm living on GUAM! Not many people in the States actually know where Guam is or even that every person born here is an American citizen, the currency is American Dollars, or that there is a Home Depot on island!
Underwater World is going to be great, today I got to dive in the main tank, 800,000 gallons, six species of shark probably four different species of rays. I rearranged the coral and fixed a spot on the underlayment. Spent over two hours in the water this morning and loved every minute of it!
