GUAM

Located approximately 3,300 miles west of Hawaii, 1,500 miles east of the Philippines and 1,550 miles south of Japan, the Island of Guam is the western most territory of the United States and one of the leading tourist destinations in the Western Pacific. Approximately 30 miles long and 4 to 9 miles wide, the northern end of Guam is a plateau of rolling hills and cliffs rising to 600 feet above sea level.

The island's steady tropical climate maintains temperatures at a constant 25-30°C (77-86°F) all year round. May, June and July are the hottest months. Guamanians really only talk of two seasons, the dry and the rainy. The dry season runs from December to June and then it's rainy time for the rest of the year. From June to November, Guam is also nestled in the hatchery of the western Pacific typhoons.
