Father and Son’s Outing – Half way around the world

Last month I was called upon to make another trip to Guam to help configure some of their new servers. I enjoy going to Guam just don’t care for the lengthy flights to get there. Jodi suggested I invite Dad along as my "personal diabetic support man" and because I would enjoy the company. It was great having Dad there to share the joy of victory and agony of defeat as we worked on the server issues. We left from Jackson Hole Airport at 4AM on May 9th and returned the evening of the 19th. It turned out to be a successful trip for GPA.

When you travel half way around the world, you have to take advantage of the local sites. We saw almost every square inch of Guam, a great deal of Hawaii and downtown Seoul. While in Hawaii we drove around the perimeter of the island it is a beautiful place. We visited the Temple and also Dan Clark and family. It was great to see friends that far away from home.

Next stop was Guam, Dad would explore while I worked on the servers and come back with an action plan for the evening. We visited tons of cool sites that even the locals didn’t know about. A couple favorites were 1000 steps beach and the famous Mt. LamLam. I realized that dad and I both don’t care for spiders especially when they are as big as your hand and right in your face. It was fun to enjoy the mountains with Dad on another continent.

My favorite part of the trip was our layover in Seoul on the way home. We stayed right on the temple grounds in the temple housing. It reminded me of the big cabin with all the bunk beds. We attended a session with people from Russia, Korea, US, and Japan. It was fun to hear the English words on the headset and then hear the Korean words. We hit the town the next morning and walked and walked….the city doesn’t look that big on a map. It is huge though. We hiked up to Seoul Tower or NamSan (South Mountain) as the locals call it. It was very warm and muggy but being at almost sea level we had plenty of energy and breath. What a memory to cherish for the rest of my life.
