I lived there for 2 years while in the service. There is more than 2 palm trees on the island. When I was on the island, I was not a diver and could not wait to leave. Now that I am a diver, I have contacted an old friend who lives there.
Its a beautiful tropical island in the middle of the pacific. Everyone speaks English and spends dollars. It is the first place in the US to start the day (as it is the only territory on the other side of the international date line). Guam is close to Australia, Truk, Saipan, Japan Philippines, Fiji, etc. etc. etc.
If I did not have a very well established business here in Chicago (that is not run on the internet alone), I would move there in a heartbeat.

my point exactly!
when my husband was still active duty air force we tried to get stationed there for years and couldn't. :depressed: The idea of being at the hub of travel for the south pacific is very enticing!!!

I'd like to change my answer to Cairns, Australia.
In terms of diving, I'd have the Great Barrier Reef to keep me entertained between trips abroad, and I'd be much closer to Truk Lagoon and Vanuatu, not to mention some excellent diving in the Phillipines, Papa New Guinea and Thailand. Plus that would be the perfect place for me to launch my expedition to Bikini Atoll.
In terms of quality of life, Australia is a sports mad country with the highest literacy rate in the world. It is too far away for most of my family to visit me. The main problems that Australia seems to have is that they drink too much beer and the girls are too pretty. But with time and training I could probably adjust.

My dad was a marine in WWII that liberated Guam from the Japanese, he never talked about the diving though?
Caught Filariasis on Guam and spent a couple of months healing from it. Man he hated Guam, but at least he survived it.One of these days I have to get there? Maybe on the way to Truk?
