Enjoying the music...
I went to dinner at Hard Rock Cafe one evening and this gentlemen started entertaining. He asked me what to play and I had a few requests since you know how much I love music! The people on the island are so friendly.
Suicide Cliff
This is just one of many areas on Suicide Cliff as they call it. If you could see the cliff edge you'd understand...it's crazy high. This area got its name from when many, many Japanese jumped off when the Americans secured the island during WWII. Not only soldiers but mothers would throw their children off and then jump themselves. If you want to know more...just ask.
Off Roadin'
So, to get to a lot of the cool beaches and places in Saipan you must drive on roads like these. I was surprised that I didn't run into many people/cars on these roads. It's like I had the whole place to myself! I would go back in a heartbeat.
Grotto
Another beautiful spot in Saipan. A very popular place to go scuba diving. I sat out on their overlook..just looking into the area they call Grotto.
What's down there???
Looking down into the Grotto. It is a very popular place to go scuba diving. I am too scared to go scuba diving...but it sure looked cool!
My little piece of Heaven!
I have fallen in love...Wing Beach! I didn't see any turtles but it really didn't matter. I never knew how lucky I'd be.....
Looking to my right....
Yes, you guessed it, Wing Beach! This is what I saw when I looked right! Can you tell I love this beach?
Most of my time....
This is where I spent most of my time...at Wing Beach. A lot of relaxing and reading went on here. I wish I would have recorded more of the sounds here. It is like something you would buy on a CD. Soooooo peaceful!
Me and Wing Beach!
So, I had to take a shot of me at my favorite beach. I actually was standing on one of the rocks and this Japanese man came over and gave me 2 presents all wrapped up. I didn't know what to say....but how kind!
Wing Beach at the end of the day.
This was the sun getting ready to go down. I guess it's probably time for me to go as well.
Someday....
So, if I ever get married this is the sign you need to find. It is to my favorite beach in the World! When and if that day comes I want to be married on this beach!
Creepy....
This is what is left of the hallway in the Japanese Jail. I didn't walk all the way done it because it was creepy!
My balcony
This is where I sat every morning and evening listening to music and playing solitare. Also, just enjoying the outdoors when I wasn't in the sun!
Tank Beach
I drove to the other side of the island and found this beach. A high school is located near here, this is a similar view to what the see out of their school. Amazing!
Cow Crossing
So, I was wondering why the guy ahead of me was slowing down. Now I see why...there was a cow walking across the road. You have to admit he is pretty close to the crosswalk.
American Memorial Park Beach
Spent my last day at the American Memorial Park. It was crazy windy out...but kept me cool in the beautiful sunshine.

Birthday wishes can come true!
We found a little Mexican hideaway for lunch on my birthday! It was amazing. Authentic all the way baby!!!!
Do they look excited?
We couldn't wait to eat some good Mexican food. It was amazing....I will return to this little place in Itaewan whenever possible.
I love Starbucks!
It is hard to pass up a Starbuck's. You don't see very many western franchises with Korean writing as well.
Mmmm....
Burger King is a wonderful sight to see. I took this for Teri along with a few others for her to see a "little" piece of Seoul.
N Seoul Tower
Namsan Seoul Tower is a communication tower in Seoul. It is 777 ft. tall. I find it more of a tourist destination but glad to see that it has a purpose as well.
My birthday crew!
Stephanie, Sarah, and Nate were my birthday crew in Seoul. I am one lucky girl. Thank you guys so much for a great time.

Christmas in Korea!
We went out for dinner in Chilgok for Steph's birthday! We found a Christmas tree to pose in front of. Good food, good friends and good times as always!
Breakdown....
Here we are hanging outside the shuttle bus, it broke down on the way home from Stephanie's birthday party at Outback! Only in Korea!
I know he is weird....
Nate is starting to act like Sarah, he wants to be in every picture! But I love him, he was my shopping buddy today so I should be nice!
The last ornament...
I am getting ready to put the last ornament on the tree. I hope I do a good job!
Making food with the girls!
Catalina, Dana and myself hanging out in the Sky Lounge during the Christmas festivities.

Did someone say stuffing???
Here is Mo toasting the bread to make stuffing. I'm pretty sure she did this for at least 2 days! No, seriously every time I came back upstairs she was in the oven! I love you MO!
Sarah and her potatoes...
Sarah and Nate made the potatoes..do you think we have enough? No, seriously they didn't think we would have enough...we ate potatoes for a week and loved it! Yes, she peeled all of those...good job!
Turkey, turkey, turkey....
Here is how we cook turkey in Korea! Caroline cooked 3 turkeys for us in a convection oven. They were awesome...thank you again!
You know I love Mac & Cheese
Stephanie's amazing Macaroni and Cheese and I helped! :) We made most of our food in the kitchen cafeteria. It was great!
Our Feast, Korean style....
