Our first day on Grand Cayman: Our trip began when we left home at 10:30 PM on Nov. 21. We had to connect through Charlotte, NC. So, we got to Charlotte at 6 AM and left for Grand Cayman at 9:45 AM. After some very long flights, we finally arrived here around 1 PM. All the traveling was worth it, though. It is beautiful here! We rented a tiny little car for our week on the island. They drive on the opposite side of the road here, so Bryan had fun learning to drive on the left. (We did spend a [View Full Entry]

Starting our vacation off right
Welcome to Hell
Hellish rock formations

I'm having such a great time on this ship! I've been spending a lot of time in training or sitting at the computer reading months of old emails and computer postings getting updated on all things work related. And of course I've been in my club with Andy, the other director here, and our teens who are super nice and fun. I've gotten them hooked on Skip-Bo - card game which was a bit addiction on the Destiny last spring which then I spread to camp this summer. We're having fun. And though I'm not on my ship sleep schedule yet [View Full Entry]

Grand Cayman has all the adventure you could ask for. You can visit hell, really you can. You can swim with stingrays that could eat small children, be stung by the deadly lion fish, and if you take a few swim strokes off shore you'll find yourself floating over 5,000 feet of water. Then there is the land, where you can get lost in the dense jungles with snakes, spiders and insects that fly away with unsuspecting tourists like yourself. Well, that is all pretty fabricated lies about the island, but partially true. There is a city that is officially named [View Full Entry]

oh yum yum, this was sooo good. I had this at Paradise Restaurant right on the deck overlooking the snorkelling, shopping, cruise ships....
The last days in paradise. Shopping anyone? Perfumeries for my scent of the day and I got my MAC makeup ...happy dance! I finally get my turtle burger and it is worth the wait. I move to D's house in George Town as we have left 7 Mile Beach for good. It's a beautiful house with roosters that roam the neighborhood and wake me in the morning... Everyday is the same beautiful weather... This cold knocked some energy out of me so I passed up the opportunity to head back to Senor Frogs. I can still enjoy the weather. I'm still [View Full Entry]

Day 4: Snorkelling off Paradise. I saw a fly today, "hi there, I know you". Seen some weird bugs but very few bugs at all and there are Geikos too (at least I think that's what they are). Small enough to fit in your hand and curled tail, cute. I just never have my camera around when I spot them. Everybody says hi here! Not just the locals either, friendlier than even at home in the maritimes. We head to Paradise Restaurant to do some snorkelling. The water is about 30 feet from the main street. See pic below of the [View Full Entry]

Day 5: Pirates in the Caribbean. We went shopping in George Town (a few miles down the road from 7 mile beach) across from the snorkeling…outdoor malls & duty free shops. There are more people today as the cruise ships are in port (although there is no port)….I saw some really cool stores, like the one that sells swords, medieval replicas, shields, plate mail… After awhile everyone else heads back, my cousin & I can have fun on our own. So we decide to stop for a bite to eat at Senor Frog’s. Hardly anyone around so we sit on the [View Full Entry]

Where to next?

Day 6: Fireworks on the beach. New Year's Eve … My cousin & I head to World Gym for a Power Yoga class, walking distance from 7 Mile Beach. The instructor looks East Indian, dark skin & hair, pretty girl but she spends way too much time staring at herself in the mirror rather than watching the class. My muscles are a little sore from that work out, but good tunes. Some of the other family members are going to a turtle farm, I’m not interested unless we’re eating them. So we stroll down 7 Mile beach back towards George Town [View Full Entry]

Day 7: R&R for New Year's Day. I've caught a cold so while the others go touring the island, I stay home to nap and rest on the beach. The water is so warm, 27 degree (80 F) for today as an example, never this warm back home. You can see why the night time dips have been so appealing. I can hear people chatting about the storms in the US and I've seen your pics from our Canadian winter, glad I'm here. We had one morning where it showered just enough to dampen the ground, clouds and rain in [View Full Entry]

Care for a dip?

Day 1: Boxing day. Up at 3:30 in the morning to prepare for boarding in Halifax, NS. In the air for sunrise and then the long wait in Toronto as our flight attendant was delayed. Serious cheering when a new attendant volunteers to "get us home". Snowing in TO...4pm we hit Grand Cayman. The humidity hits you as you walk down off the plane. We check out our place after stopping for a few necessities. We're hot, tired and running on a couple of hours sleep at best, but this is Grand Cayman :) We drive with the windows down (on [View Full Entry]

Day 2: Stingrays & bikinis. Our first full day on the island... where do I even start? Let me say some stories & pictures will not be shared here...some will be saved to be shared in person for the people nearest & dearest to me :) So this morning we head out to our boat. We have a boat just to ourselves, the water is spectacular turquoise, the waves have beautiful white peaks. The homes along the wharf are a colorful series of pastels. We head a number of miles out offshore... to swim on a dune with the stingrays. I [View Full Entry]
