This race around the world is getting a little stagnant, isn't it? After two consecutive weeks of teams staying in the chase even though they've come in last, this week Phil's patience runs out. It's about time one of these teams got sent home! So who's it gonna be? The backstabbing Beauty Queens? Spanish language aficionados Charla and Mirna? We've got the full scoop.

Passport-Free Travel: Guam or Bust

January 25, 2007 at 2:05 PM | 0 Comments

Yesterday, we told you about Virgin Island National Park on St. John, and how you can camp there without a passport. Well, the list of places you can go without one of those blue books is pretty short now, but there are still a few destinations left. And not all of them are so obvious and close to home.

We hope you have a passport anyway, but just to get this reminder out there: you can go to Guam without one. Technically, setting foot in Guam (a 9 1/2 flight from Honolulu) is no different than setting foot in Jersey or Texas. It sure feels a whole lot more exotic, though. But you'll need to keep in mind that Guam isn't a typical Pacific paradise: development (many would say overdevelopment) has transformed it. You'll need to get away from crowded Tumon Bay (above) for the most interesting experiences. Lonely Planet (take this with a grain of salt) recommends the Ohana Bayview hotel for a location that's a bit away from the beach.

Your only option for reaching Guam from the U.S. is Continental, and they will ream you--but it will add to the trip cred. Once you're there, try and invite yourself to a real Chamorro fiesta and party away from the Japanese honeymooners and K-Mart groupies. For trip extension, you can continue on to Saipan, also a passport-free option.
