Patrick & Natalie flew in at about 3:30 A.M. on Monday, after almost 24 hours of travelling, but that didn't seem to slow them down.
I know I've posted pictures of all of the main Saipan tourist spots about 100 times, but the difference is Patrick and Natalie are in the pictures this time!

Patrick using his brute strength to hoist Bird Island...& with a smile on his face!
These pictures are classic!
Giddyup!

Pat getting a tat. The chinese symbol for "strong" (I think?).
We've been to Bird Island lookout a time or two before (pictured above), but we decided to hike our way down today...
Eric and his co-worker, Robert, actually swam across to explore the island. I wanted to join them, but I was fully clothed and decided to stay that way. Eric even climbed his way up to the top - barefoot. He returned slightly bloody and bruised, but he assures me it was all worth it.
Robert has perfect timing. He took this picture of me right as I was falling. You can see Eric below preparing to catch me.
We found several of these hermit crabs along the way. Here's Eric having a heart-to-heart with one. Click on the photo to enlarge if you want a better look at his beady little eyes.
Sometimes it's nice to stop and take a look around...or up...
Here we are doing our duty as chaperones at the Youth Dance on Saturday.
