So! You wanna move to Guam! 

Villages
Following is a list of the major villages with populations and distance from Agana, the capital of the Territory of Guam. (S) = South, (N) = North, (C) = Central. (N/A = Not available). Most of the roads are being resurfaced and redesigned to help with the excess traffic, but many of them, especially in the south are narrow two-lane roadways in need of repair. Because of the material from which Guam's highways are constructed (coral and limestone), roads tend to be surprisingly slick. Allowing extra travel time is always wise, especially on rainy days. 

Another good rule of thumb is to remember that you're driving with many people from various countries. Often these fellow drivers aren't as familiar with the rules as those of us who grew up with them or have been here a while. Please drive defensively!
