The Guam-pire Strikes Back


So, after a hiatus of 18 months, I have a blog post. I'm back. On Guam. Actually I got back in June, 2010, over a year and two months ago. A lot has happened since I posted on this blog some 18 months ago. Where should I begin? Where can I begin? I'm back as a permanent interpretation park ranger at War in the Pacific National Historical Park, which is awesome. Also, after a six year educational journey (only two of which was spent in school), I have finished my thesis and graduated from Middle Tennessee State University with a Master of Arts in History. Instead of boring you with a vapid description of the mind numbing thesis approval process, I'll be using this blog again to share some of my travel experiences from the past 18 months and beyond. Topics may include trips I've taken and adventures since April 2010: driving from Alaska to Tennessee with stops at Jasper and Banff National Parks (Canada), Glacier NP, Yellowstone NP, Little Big Horn Battlefield, Devils Tower NM, Mount Rushmore NM, Badlands NP, a week in Honolulu, trips to Saipan and Tinian, a week in Omaha Nebraska, a weekend in Washington, DC, a week in New Orleans, trips to Palau, Hong Kong, and Koala Lumpur. Needless to say, it was an eventful year. More to come.
