You and Guam: A Tale of Two Very Distant Cities (and Possibly Questionable Travel Choices)
So, you've got the travel bug, huh? But it's not just any itch you're looking to scratch. You're not seeking the usual European jaunt or a relaxing beach vacation in the Caribbean. No, you've set your sights on something a little more...exotic. You've set your sights on Guam.
Hold on a sec, you might be thinking. Guam? Isn't that, like, way out there?
Well, buckle up, buttercup, because you're absolutely right. Guam, a beautiful island territory in the Marianas archipelago, is about as far from Atlanta, Georgia as you can possibly get without leaving the good ol' US of A.

The Great Guam Gauntlet: How Many Miles Are We Talking About?
Here's the thing: distances on a globe are tricky. You can't exactly hop in your car and take a scenic route (although, that would be one epic road trip). No, to get from Atlanta to Guam, you're looking at a plane ride. And get ready for this: we're talking a whopping 7,855 miles (or 12,641 kilometers).
Tip: Revisit this page tomorrow to reinforce memory.
That's farther than:
- Throwing a frisbee across the Atlantic Ocean (and probably getting it lost in the process).
- Running a marathon...ten times over.
- Swimming across the Pacific Ocean (not recommended, unless you're Aquaman).
Basically, it's a long way.
Guam or Bust: Is It Worth the Journey?
Now, you might be wondering, with all those miles separating you, is Guam even worth the trek? Absolutely! Here's a little taste of what awaits you on this Pacific paradise:
Tip: Let the key ideas stand out.
- Beaches that look like they were painted by a tropical dreamweaver.
- World-class diving with crystal-clear waters and stunning coral reefs.
- A unique blend of Chamorro, Spanish, and American cultures.
- Seriously delicious local cuisine (think fresh seafood and plenty of kelaguen, a national Chamorro dish).
So yeah, Guam's pretty darn awesome.

How to Get to Guam: Not Your Typical Weekend Getaway
Alright, alright, so you're convinced. Guam is calling your name. But how exactly do you get there?
- Plane: This is your best bet. There aren't any direct flights from Atlanta, so expect a layover (or two).
- Boat: This would be an epic adventure, but not exactly practical. Unless you have a yacht and a whole lot of free time, this one's a no-go.
- Swimming: As tempting as it might be after a brutal Atlanta summer, this is highly inadvisable.
