South east side of the island.

I didn't see that but good catch!

Send me some money and I will ship it via USPS flat rate box

I feel like I am stuck in the 90's

These are actually legal here

WWII Japanese communications building I need to explore more of

I got a job island hoping between Saipan and Tinian for the next year. If things work out they may throw in Rota and guam as well. Right now I am in a 172 doing discovery flights and I am getting trained on a Cherokee 6 to fly tourist and cargo I between the islands.

That wouldn't surprise me. There are about 3-4 supply ships just off shore at all times. I really need to get pics of saipan from the air as I do the the discovery flights. So much cool stuff around here.

I have only been on the islands for 4 days and while life is a little different I think I will enjoy it out here.

Ariel view of the WW2 runways on tinian now super over grown

Just like the other sticks in my life I play slop

If you get a mono arm "extendy stick" as I told the professional camera guys make sure the mount is on the correct end. The one I got is for land use not underwater so the grip and wrist loop is on the wrong end.

You can get a factory refurbish pretty cheap http://gopro.com/cameras/refurbished-hero3-black-edition

Make sure you get the proper memory card. I just got the hero 3 in black to take out to saipan with me. They have lowered the price a little so they will probably be coming out with the 4 soon like someone said. It is really neat being able to use your phone to view pictures and preview video. When is your honeymoon? I can let you know how my experiance is with it.

That awesome moment when you're getting ready to move half way across the world to chase your dreams and your ex who still works in a restraint gets a joint bank account with a crazy chick obsessed with rabbits

BTW, if you want underwater images/pictures, the GoPro is going to be one of the cheapest solutions while still giving very good quality unless you are doing macro shots. I used to do underwater photography but realized I was missing a lot of dives because I was too busy fussing with the camera. Now I mount a GoPro on my head and just record what I see. I've caught some good stuff.

Good to know, I actually stopped by Midwest photography today and put a gopro and red filter on hold. Waiting to see how fat Santas wallet is to see if I can swing a DSLR as well. I travel too much to not have a good camera. Really wish I would have gotten into it at a younger age.

My parents said they are willing to buy me am early Christmas present to take over to Saipan so school me on cameras. I want to get into taking armature digital photography so I am thinking something along the lines of a cannon, Nikon, or sonny. It's either that or getting a gopro with some different attachments so I can take some dive photography.

this dude has to be one of the dumbest mother fuckers but I will laught at his expense

Because jbot started it ...

If you would share those pictures with us I'd be eternally grateful. I doubt I'll ever be there in my lifetime but I'm a geek who's into history and I'm always curious about places like that and want to learn all I can about it just for my own education. 

Of course. I have a "take only pictures, leave only footprints" policy when traveling. I have been watching a ton of history channel docs on youtube about the islands. I might audit a history class on the islands they offer at the local college.

Glad I'm not going back there in the forseable future.

what scooter?

My vote is the 20th of this month. I will be back in C-bus before I head to the Pacific.
