How backwards does this sound - definitely not a logical flight -
SFO - Tokyo 11hours
Tokyo - Osaka (which is further east of Tokyo) 2 hours
Osaka - Guam 4 hours.
yuck! right? I got in nice and safe at 2 am Guam time (9 am Cali time). From the door of my house to the door of my dad's house was about 25 hours. That's a LONG time!
So far I have spent today with Sheila (my dad's wife) driving around the island and checking out their coffee shops they own, Java Hut. They're all very cute and it was just enjoyable to see Guam again. I'm glad that I'm coming out here when I'm older so I can get a better perspective of the island and really understand it better. My dad has the rest of the afternoon off today, so we were thinking of paying a visit to one of my dad's friends, Lt. Governor Mike Cruz. Part of the reason for me to come out here to Guam is to not only work on my relationship with my father but to also check out what its like to be a doctor. As I have not yet begun college, all career options are on the table and I'm toying with the idea of premed for college. I have always enjoyed and done well in the sciences so it feels natural to go premed, but I just so much enjoyed my time in DC that I would still love to be a poli sci major. At this time, my opinion is that there are more options for upward mobility in a field like medicine where politics is a little more limited if you are not elected. And getting into politics later in life is completely plausible where as changing careers to become a doctor is less likely.
I have yet to see Troy and Aaron, and I still have not met little Aika yet. I'm enjoying the time I have with my father and nervous as to how dynamics will change when there are three other little children around.
I'll post later!
