Helo Ride Over Guam (March 2004)

In early March we took a 2 hour Helicopter Ride around Guam. This was my first time in a helo and I loved it. It was a little intimidating at first sitting right next to those wide open doors. Of course, my trusty Canon S400 was by my side and I took tons of pictures. This is only a small sample of the pictures I took but it gives you an idea of how picturesque the ride was. Enjoy!

 I had to throw in this picture I took of the marina while eating at Jan Z's about one month prior.
