Just an ordinary day and another beautiful sunset as seen from The Beach Bar at Gun Beach on the island of Guam.

I spotted this young juvenile Black Tip Shark plying the shallow waters of San Luis Beach on Guam. The reef here is a popular spawning spot for Black Tips. He swam right up to me as if he wanted to befriend me.

A quick look around our place, 3 weeks after Typhoon Mawar. Compared to many other island residents, we got off easy with our power & water returning on Day 8. Unfortunately, many islanders still suffer three weeks later with damage to their homes and no water and no electricity. #shorts We're RANDY ?‍♂️ and TERI ?‍♀️... We retired early and moved to the Philippines. We built a house there. Then we moved to another tropical island - Guam. Now, we share our time between Guam and the Philippines, and we offer up some slices of life from the Tropic Shade in both locations. If you are thinking of moving to the Philippines or an island in the Western Pacific, then this channel if for you! Beaches and rainbows and waterfalls (and food), oh my! ?

We made the decision to retire early and in 2013 we sold our home, packed up the furniture and the cats, and moved to the Philippines. We built a home on the island of Samar and learned that our much desired utopia did not exist in a single location... so we later moved to Guam and now travel back and forth, enjoying the commonality and difference that both locations offer. While curiosity is the key to unlocking life, pushing one's self to live outside their comfort zone softens expectations, and has helped us to embrace the great unknown. And the more we let our curiosity lead the way, the more we discover about ourselves and the world around us. Some 10 years later, we still look to new adventures, and have come to understand that comfort and stability play an important role in any chosen lifestyle. Today, it's all about managing our resources and our health, and we’re always looking for new and better ways to do so. Our journey is ever-evolving but our goal remains the same: To enjoy life to it's fullest... and as much as possible, just hanging out in the "Tropic Shade." Formerly "Retired in Samar," we are now "Living in the Pacific." ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsN0Vu1k_cM
