Dive and Run on 100 Years of Guam’s History

leave a comment »

Here’s a little bit of history about Guam, popular with divers ’round the world but not too much with plain tourists like us.

Twenty-six years ago, the German cruiser SMS Cormoran II was scuttled in Guam’s Apra harbor That was April 7th of 1917, during World War I. Then, on August 27, 1943, the era of World War II, the Japanese freighter Tokai Maru was torpedoed and sunk right over the wreck of the Cormoran, laying 120 feet below sea level. In July 1974, the SMS Cormoran II was listed on the Guam Register of Historic Places, as well as the National Register of Historic Places a year later.

This makes Guam having the only dive site in the world with wrecks from two world wars. So, in honor of this piece of history and the lives that perished on the SMS Cormoran II, the Guam Visitors Bureau (GVB) will commemorate the 100th anniversary by holding memorial services on April 7, 2017, with wreath-laying activities at Apra Harbor and the Naval Cemetery in Hagatna, and a series of lectures and an exhibit during the weeklong celebration.

Guam’s annual premier running event, the United Airlines Guam Marathon, will also happen on the same day, the fifth year running, together with the Hafa Adai Expo and Pick up event.

The 5th United Airlines Guam Marathon (or more known as “UGM”) happens on April 9th from 3:00AM until 11:00AM. The participant or runner packet pick up location will be at the Hafa Adai Expo which opens on April 7th from 12:00PM until 6:00PM, and will continue to be open to the public the following day, April 8th from 9:00AM until 6:00PM. There will also be a running clinic by Naoko Takahashi, 2000 Sydney Olympics gold medalist and UGH ambassador, lots of booths, live entertainment, cultural activities, food concessions, official UGM and running merchandise shops, and other #OnlyOnGuam activities. Of course, there will also be shopping incentives and discounts to be given to all registered runners, visitors and local residents.

Culminating all these activities is a BBQ Beach Party at the Governor Joseph F. Flores Memorial Park, located at Ypao Beach overlooking Tumon Bay, with live concert performances, beach games, the traditional Tumon Bay post-race dip, beachfront photos (you gotta do this – sunset selfie is a must!), food, drinks, and more entertainment.

The UGM is also sponsored by the Guam Visitors Bureau and the Pacific Islands Club.

Shop Guam App Launched During 5th Shop Guam e-Festival

leave a comment »

Håfa Adai! That is Guam’s version of welcoming you to this U.S. island territory in Micronesia, all 160,000 plus people living in this Western Pacific paradise of tropical beaches, Chamorro villages, world-famous sunsets and ancient latte-stone pillars. These are just a few reasons why millions of tourists have made Guam their top travel choice. The one other preference for visiting Guam? Shopping!

I was there last year and I can only say this is the nearest near-shore USA you can be when it comes to shopping. Their duty-free shops has one of the best selections of branded items with racked-down prices. Kmart’s there, too. And Ross? I just found out while there that Guam has the biggest Ross outlet.

So, this year, Guam Visitors Bureau’s Philippine rep office and head-honcho Carmel Carpio sent me a message saying there’s a mobile app now available for the sole purpose of helping you shop better while in Guam. The official Shop Guam app now brings over 230 offers from 178 vendors at your fingertips, from an exciting array of deals on luxury and popular brands, fine and casual dining, optional tours, entertainment, beauty, spa, tourism services, and much more. As a bonus, the Shop Guam e-Festival’s exclusive deals on Made in Guam products and Only on Guam activities will further enhance your experience, all through the Shop Guam app.

Guess what? The Shop Guam app is intuitive. It automatically alerts a shopper of a special offer whenever he or she is within a 40- to 50-meter range of a participating vendor. Browse the Events section of the Shop Guam app for in-store events at selected vendor locations and use the app to enter the Shop Guam e-Festival Sweepstakes for a chance to win a Guam travel package valued at $1,000USD!

This year’s Shop Guam e-festival includes exclusive offers from Balenciaga, Chloé, Givenchy, Marc Jacobs, LeSportSac, Lacoste, and Rimowa, to name just a few of them.

The Shop Guam app is FREE to download and is available in six languages: English, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese.

So, download the Shop Guam App now and start planning your shopping spree in paradise. From December 1, 2016 to February 4, 2017, share your Shop Guam experience by tagging your photos with #ShopGuameFestival.
