Hafa Adai!

hafa adai! aka hello! or greetings in the chamarro language.

there are always pros and cons when it comes to jobs.  mine has a little bit of both as well.  traveling for work can always be a little exhausting.  it usually depends on where i get stuck. po-dunk, middle of nowhere, pennsylvania - or ah-mazing, san diego, california.  it can be a crap-shoot.  lately, i've been extremely lucky with my clients.  most recently, i received the opportunity to go to Guam.  yes, Guam.  as in, middle of the pacific, 15 hours ahead of CST, Guam.  never in my life would i ever just take a trip over there.  this was such a great opportunity to explore a place that i would normally never see.  the people were very nice and friendly.  their native language is chamarro - a blend of japanese and spanish culture, much like other pacific islanders.  here's a few pics from the two week trip.
