Work has sent me to Guam for all of July. First time to Guam. In researching flights to Guam last month on my company’s travel portal, it seems there’s only two standard routes from mainland USA: 1) By layover in Japan or 2) by layover in Hawaii.

Routing through Hawaii is the more expensive option – $1600 one-way Vs $1200 through Japan. But choosing the Hawaii option, none of the flights from the mainland arrive into Honolulu early enough to catch the only flight of the day from Honolulu to Guam, operated by United. So I spend a night in Waikiki while awaiting the next day’s flight into the Western Pacific, so far west it’s the Far East.

On my one night in Hawaii, two coworkers who are already here to oversee a project in Pearl City kindly invite me out for happy hour at a 36th floor steakhouse with stunning views looking south over Waikiki – as great of a layover as I’ve ever had:

I am missing North Dakota.

I'm not going to make an attempt at foreign countries.  I think I'll be content with 49 states.  

An interesting question asked in Area 51 is name five states where you'd live and five where you would not.  I personally am pretty flexible except the cold winter part, had enough of that in Cincy.  I try and avoid high tax/COL states too except to visit.  I thought about Nevada for a while, maybe near Reno.

As for countries, we've discussed before, Canada would be my first choice if I had to leave.  (BC, not Ottawa.)

Hilton Head is quite nice, we think, especially in winter.

Both are quite worthy of visiting.  Very different experiences
