Guam Food Tours: Open for business

HAGATNA, Guam (AP) — After her seemingly innocuous questions eight months ago, I knew that Leslie Travis was up to something.

I never realized she was letting me peep on the genesis of the Guam Food Tours.

It was on my birthday last year, November 28, while I was still living in Hong Kong. My inbox flashed:Leslie: "Jojo! Happy birthday guy! I was wondering if I could pick your brain about something. I'm looking for the best Chamorro food on Guam that is licensed. The best kelaguen or empanada, etc."

I replied: "So subjective!"

Leslie: "I know, but I trust your judgment ... I want the real deal."

So I gave her what I had and thought nothing of it. January comes along and now she wants to tell me about her business.
