Guam Welcome Packet

So, we received our Guam welcome aboard package. I was immediately excited when I felt how thick it was and saw how beautiful the cover image on the folder was. It includes so much information, from how to prepare for natural disasters, the base's resources, to maps of Guam and local restaurants.

Inside the Welcome Packet:

1. A phone number directory
2. Guam CULTURE & TRADITIONS dvd
3. Base Directory Map
4. Franko's GUAM Guide & Dive Map 
   
5. Experience GUAM magazine
6. Fleet and Family Support Center Manual
7. "Are You Prepared for a Typhoon?" pamphlet
8. a printed map of Guam's villages
9. Programs and Services pamphlet
10. NFAAS (Navy Family Accountability and Assessment System brochure
11. "I am. Are You?"Natural Disaster, Biological and Man Made Disasters, Acts of Terrorists pamphlet
12. 2013-2014 Stripes Annual Manual

The packet also featured some great ideas for activities to do with E. There are dance classes for children starting at 1 year old, gymnastics for kids starting at 3 years old, a really cool aquarium, and of course GORGEOUS beaches. I'm really excited to have multiple options of age appropriate activities to do with E. That is one thing that PR really lacks. There are very few educational or active places to take young children here. I also believe that with such a large and close knit English speaking community we will have plenty of available playmates for E.

This move is getting real now! We are excited and sad at the same time. It will be very tough to leave our church family, but great to begin this new journey.
