[Guam] Easy travel guide for families with children
I went to Guam🇬🇺 with my 1-year-old child. I had a great trip, so I recommend it to everyone. November to May is the dry season over there, so if you're going during Golden Week, you still have time❗️However, it will be difficult to prepare for the trip and find local information while raising a child. I will introduce what I actually did. 😊(Based on March 2024)✈️Air ticket: United Airlines (3.5 hours to arrive)🏨Hotel: Dusit Thani Guam Resort (Tumon area)⭐️Pre-departure preparation✅ ESTA application fee: Approximately $21 per personValidity period: 2 yearsThe application status will not be activated immediately after application. Don't worry if it is pending. It will usually be reflected the next day. You can pay for your family as one group. You don't need ESTA to visit Guam for less than 45 days👌Just fill in the GCWVP sheet on site. ✅You can apply within 72 hours of the arrival of Guam's customs electronic declaration form. Just search for "Guam Customs and Quarantine Agency" and you will find it. When the application is complete, a QR code will be displayed. Just capture it and submit it to customs and you'll be done smoothly. If there is no QR code, you can fill out the paper distributed on the plane. In my case, I prepared both the ESTA application and the customs QR code in advance. ✅ Maternal and Child Health Handbook If you go to the hospital over there, you can refer to the information when your child was born and the vaccination status. ✅ Driver's license When renting a car in Guam, you can use a Japanese driver's license. The other side is a left-hand drive. ✅ Copy of passport Of course, the security situation over there is not as bad as Japan. It's reassuring to have a copy of your passport. ⭐️ Preparation for the airport on the day ✅ Travel insurance When traveling with children, parents always need to prepare a plan B. I purchased it at the insurance counter at the airport. Cost: About 23,000 yen for a family of three for 4 nights ✅ Money exchange It is more economical to do it at the airport in Japan. Recent yen depreciation rate About 10,000 yen ➡️ 65 dollars ⭐️ Local information ✅ Climate The temperature in March is 25 to 30 degrees, and it can be windy at times. There is a rain shower, but it will stop soon. After the rain stops, the probability of seeing the sun will increase. ✅Time difference It is one hour ahead of Japan. ✅Tips Room cleaning: $2/day Bellman carrying luggage: $1/1🧳 Taxi calling service: $1 Taxi: 10% of the taxi fare Restaurants: 10% to 15% of the meal fare However, if a service charge is written on the receipt, you don't need to give a separate tip as it is included in the fare 👌✅Transportation to the hotel A taxi from the airport costs $30. The Tumon area usually costs less than $40. ✅Stroller The hotel I stayed at has a free rental service. I called the hotel and made a reservation before leaving. ✅Baby food Meat-based baby food is prohibited. Milk powder and baby barley tea are okay. ✅Rental car I got it at HappyRentCar at the hotel I stayed at after arriving at the local area. Car type: Hyundai SUV Cost: $77 including insurance There is also an open-roof Mustang. ✅Elevator The 1st floor in Japan is the "G" Floor over there. ✅Snacks 🫙 Bottled Starbucks Frappuccino and 🍙 Spam knots sold at ABC Store ✅Souvenirs Actually, you can buy Honolulu cookies in Guam❗️📍 Honolulu Cookie CompanyFacility: The Plaza 1st Floor1275 Pale San Vitores Rd Suite 153, Tamuning, 96913 GuamIt was a long post, but thank you for reading to the end😊I will upload Guam travel information and photogenic spots from now on❣️
