FESTPAC Unforgettable!

My time at the 13th Festival of Pacific Arts and Cultures (FESTPAC) in Hawaii as a member of the literary arts genre for the Guam Delegation fills me with immense pride and joy. 🇬🇺 Being surrounded by such a vibrant celebration of culture and creativity is truly amazing!  We had the opportunity to share and showcase Guam's inspiring literary works, connect with fellow artists from across the Pacific, and engage in meaningful exchanges of stories and traditions.  Every moment spent with fellow delegates and artists is priceless, fostering a deeper appreciation for our shared Pacific identity.  Even though I twisted my ankle in the endless walking throughout the daily events, FESTPAC in Hawaii will always hold a special place in my heart. ❤️🌴 Enjoy the following snapshots!











Florida Adventures

Reflecting on our unforgettable trip to Florida in late May fills me with joy. What started out as a journey to the family conference turned into an incredible adventure. Faust and I had an amazing time exploring Gatorland, where we each had the thrilling opportunity to hold an alligator and even have a snake wrapped around our necks! The Kennedy Space Center amazed us with its fascinating exhibits, rockets, space journey presentations, and more! Michelle and I also had a delightful adventure at Chocolate Kingdom. She surprised me with a chocolate bar personalized with my name, adding sweetness to our journey. Faust's excitement was boundless as he experienced the magic of Disneyworld and the thrill of Universal Studios. Despite all the walking and the heat, every experience was priceless and memorable. Enjoy the following snapshots from the sunshine state!
